PCI Solution

The board complies with PCI Spec. 2.1 needing neither switch nor jumper. The hardware configuration for the IRQ and Memory addresses is automatically assigned by the PCI BIOS. Hence, the board MUST be plugged first before installing the software driver. For more PCI information, please refer to Appendix “Technical Reference”.

Surge Protection

To prevent the board from damage caused by lightning or high potential voltage, TVSS (Transient Voltage Surge Suppressor) technologies are used in some connection options to protect the multiport controller. This is remarkably required for harsh environment such as factory, severe weather such as lightning, or other high interference situations.

Operating System Support

With user-friendly installation, configuration and performance, it supports Windows NT, Windows 95/98 and DOS.

MOXA Serial Comm Tool

For application development, MOXA provides an easy-to-use serial communication library (PComm) under Windows NT and Windows 95/98. With this library, it is easy to develop your own applications using sample applications developed with Visual Basic, Visual C++, Borland Delphi, etc. Utilities, such as diagnostic, monitor, terminal emulation, etc., are also included for debugging and monitoring the communication status, terminal emulation, and even file transferring.
