MOXA boards and port conditions. If Diagnostic reports error, replace the malfunctioned faulty components.

Software Causes and Solutions:

A.Smartio C104H/PCI Series board will check the line status (CTS) before transmitting data if the RTS/CTS flow control feature is set to Enable in the configuration or application program. Please refer to the Connection Cable and Cable Wiring chapter for proper wiring and check the line status of the suspected port using the diagnostic LED indicators on the mini tester.

B.The board controlling application might not be correctly written according to the corresponding API of the operating system. To verify the problem, please run another existing and known good application or the utilities provided by Moxa. Such as Pcomm Terminal emulator or HyperTerminal under Windows NT and Windows 95/98.

Windows NT

This section is specific for troubleshooting under Windows NT. For general problems and solutions, please see the previous section, General Troubleshooting.

1.After the system reboots, the error message Another driver in the system, which did not report its resources, has already claimed the interrupt used by xxx. appears in the Event Log.

This indicates the MOXA board is found, but the IRQ is conflicting with another adapter. Please check the PCI BIOS IRQ settings first and then select an IRQ that is available.

2.After the system reboots, the error message “Cannot find any configured MOXA Smartio/Industio series board!” appears in the Event Log.

Please make sure the PCI board is seated firmly in the expansion slot.

3.The COM number of the Smartio C104/PCI Series (Bus No=x Dev No=x,

Port1=COMx), with device number xx, conflicts with others.

The COM numbers for different boards are conflicting. Change the COM number mappings for MOXA boards.
