USB Network Interface User’s Guide

1. I have inserted my USB interface into a USB port on my computer, but

the Found New Hardware Wizard has not opened and the computer has
not detected the device. What should I do?

• Verify that you are running Windows XP, Windows 2000, or Windows

Server 2003.

• Verify that you have a USB 1.1 or 2.0 host controller on your PC.
• Verify that other USB devices that you may have work on this PC.
• Verify that the OpenLDV 2.0 or higher software has been installed on

this PC. You can do so by opening the Add or Remove Programs

application in the Windows Control Panel, and checking that the

Echelon OpenLDV (there may be a version number on this item) item
exists.

• Disconnect all extension cables and external hubs, and try inserting the

USB interface directly into a USB port on the PC.

• Try inserting the USB interface into a different USB port.
• Remove all other USB devices from the PC.
• Unplug and re-insert the USB interface.
• Reboot the PC.
• Verify that the Service LED briefly flashes on and off when you insert the

USB interface into the USB port. If it doesn’t, then no power is being

supplied to the interface.

• Update your PC with Windows Update. Check that all of the optional

software and hardware updates are installed. Note that Windows

Update does not automatically select the software and hardware updates
for installation. Windows Update is available at

http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com

.

• Repair the OpenLDV software installation. You can do so by opening the

Add or Remove Programs application in the Windows Control Panel,

selecting Echelon OpenLDV (there may be a version number on this
item), clicking Click Here for Support Information, and then clicking

Repair. Follow the instructions to repair the software, and then re-
insert the USB interface.

• Check the support area on Echelon’s web site for an updated version of

the OpenLDV Installer. The latest version of the OpenLDV Installer is

available from

http://www.echelon.com/downloads

.

2. I’ve opened the L

Interfaces application in Control Panel and

the USB interface is listed on the USB tab. However, I cannot configure

it, and it does not respond to tests or the wink command. What do I do?

• In the Control Panel, select Hardware -> Device Manager in the

System application. Then, check to see if there are any devices marked

with a yellow exclamation point. Fix all items in Device Manager that
are marked with a yellow question mark, as there may be driver conflicts

preventing the USB subsystem or the USB Network Interface from

functioning properly.
