Noregon is providing a PnP INF to be used during the installation
phase. On PnP Operating Systems the INF file is used to register a new device if the device is detected by the PnP Manager. If the DLA is connected to the PC via the parallel port at boot time the PnP manager will attempt to register the DLA. Refer to the User's guide for the instructions on using the Industry_DLA.INF file for device registration.
1) Should a power loss occur to the DLA while connected via the parallel port, the traffic does not always resume after power is restored if filters are set for single client.
2) The "SetMessageReceive" command requires filters to be reset
if the message flow is turned off then turned on.
3) Multi-client blocked reads with filters set does not resume
traffic reliably after a power loss.
Note: All power loss related issues can be solved by disconnecting
and reconnecting the application using the appropriate RP1210A functions.
