running driver setup program, BIN\SETUP.EXE.

Driver Setup

Change to API-232 and run the setup program, BIN\SETUP.EXE, then choose C360 and specify the base I/O address, IRQ, number of Async Concentrators, port numbers range in board and system level, serial numbers in concentrator level, and communication parameters in port level.

Noticeable fields and functions in "MOXA C360" dialog are explained below:

Async Concentrators: The number of Async Concentrators linked with each C360 Control Board.

Port number: The range of port numbers for all ports of Async Concentrators linked with each C360 Control Board.

Interrupt number: The IRQ number of C360 Control Board. Each Control Board must use its own IRQ, not conflicting with others.

F3: Setup the serial numbers and range of port numbers for all Async Concentrators linked with each C360 Control Board.

PgDn: Setup the initial values of communication parameters for all ports of Async Concentrators linked with each C360 Control Board. These values are used when driver is loaded.

Driver Loading

Having completed the setup, load the TSR driver, BIN\SP-DRV.EXE, at the DOS prompt (or from within AUTOEXEC.BAT batch file). The driver will detect the C360 automatically. If all the Control Board(s) and Async Concentrator(s) are detected, a message similar to below will show:
