Echelon Product Alerts

Summary
Power supplies of Toshiba Satellite Pro Models 4600, 7600, & 8100, Dell Latitude C610, and Gateway Solo 5300 laptop computers have been found to inject high levels of electro magnetic radiation into the PCMCIA device bays preventing the PCC-10 from working properly. We are working with Toshiba, Dell, and Gateway to resolve this issue. However, at this time we recommend that PCC-10 cards not be used with these specific models.

To mitigate the problem, Echelon has added additional MU metal shielding to the PCC-10 card
All cards shipped after September 2003 come equipped with this additional shielding. Testing indicates that the high levels of EM radiation no longer disrupt card operation. Cards with increased shielding can be identified by the agency label affixed to the back of the card.
The Agency label lists part number: 801-1054-01. Revisions K or later contain increased shielding. For protocol analyzer cards with increased shielding, the agency label is revision I or later.
