Moxa Driver Installation Guide for Network Card

Software Installation

In this chapter, the software driver installation, configuration and driver update/removal procedures are described for various operating systems, including Windows NT, Windows 95/98 and DOS. Before proceeding with the software installation, complete the hardware installation detailed in previous chapter.

However, if it is necessary for you to develop your own applications, please refer to the next chapter, “Serial Programming Tools”, for serial programming issues.

Windows NT

Windows NT supports up to 256 serial ports, from COM1 to COM256. To fully integrate the advanced features of Windows NT, multi-process and multi-thread, pure 32-bit Windows NT device drivers are developed for the Industio CP-114 Series and other MOXA multiport boards. The drivers conform to Win32 COMM API standard.

If you install the driver for the first time, please go directly to the section “Installing Driver”.

If you have already installed the driver and want to re-configure the board and port, please refer to the section, “Configuring Board and Port”.

If you have already installed the driver and want to add or delete boards, please refer to the section, “Adding/Removing Board”.

If you want to update or even remove the driver, please go to the section, “Updating Driver”, or the section, “Removing Driver”.
