1 Introduction
1.1 Overview
The IXXAT CAN-IB130/PCIe104 or CAN-IB230/PCIe104 are high-quality elec-
tronic components developed and manufactured according to the latest tech-
nological standards. This manual describes both, the CAN-IB130/PCIe104 in-
terface board (passive) and the CAN-IB230/PCIe104 interface board (active).
In the following both interfaces will be called "CAN interface board".

Optionally LIN (only CAN-IB230/PCIe104) on channel 2
2 Installation
2.1 Software installation
A driver is needed for the operation of the CAN interface board. This driver is a
component of the VCI (Virtual CAN Interface) V3 for Windows, which you can
download free of charge from http://www.ixxat.com. Please follow the VCI
installation manual to install the VCI V3 CAN driver under Windows. For many
interfaces, IXXAT also offers ECI drivers for Linux and real-time operating
systems. You can find information about the operating systems and interfaces
supported at http://www.ixxat.com.
2.2 Hardware installation
You should install the software driver before inserting the CAN interface board
into the PCIe slot (see previous section). Proper ESD precautions must be
practiced before performing the following tasks in sequence:
