Introduction
PCI Solution
The CP-168U board complies with PCI Spec. 2.1, and does not use either switches or jumpers. The hardware configuration for the IRQ and memory addresses is automatically assigned by the PCI BIOS. Hence, the board MUST be plugged in before installing the driver software. For more PCI information, refer to the Technical Reference Appendix.
Surge Protection
To prevent the board from being damaged by lightning or high potential voltage, embedded 15 KV ESD protection is used in the CP-168U board. This is required for harsh environments, such as in factory settings, under severe weather conditions, such as lightning, or other high interference situations.
Operating System Support
The CP-168U board supports Windows 2000/XP/2003, Windows NT, Windows 95/98, DOS, FreeBSD, SCO, and Linux. You may access Moxa’s website at www.moxa.com for a more detailed installation guide.
MOXA Serial Comm Tool
For application development, MOXA provides an easy-to-use serial communication library (PComm) under Windows 2000/XP/2003 and Windows 95/98/NT. 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, and terminal emulation are also included for debugging and monitoring communication status, terminal emulation, and file transfer.
