Configuring Board and Port

Software Installation

•If an error message similar to “Cannot find any configured MOXA Smartio C168 Series board!” appears, refer to the “Troubleshooting” chapter for solutions.

Note ! Once the board and the driver are installed and the driver restarts successfully, you can start to develop applications with the PComm library (See “Serial Programming Tools” chapter) or the Microsoft Win32 API. You can also execute any ready-made applications, such as PComm utility Terminal emulator (See “Serial Programming Tools” chapter) or HyperTerminal to transmit/receive data, as well as Remote Access Service to provide dial-up networking capabilities.

Configuring Board and Port

If you already have installed the driver and want to re-configure the ports, please follow this procedure.

1.In the [Control Panel], click on the [Network] icon and select the [Adapters] tab.

2.Select “MOXA Smartio/Industio Family Adapter” in “Network Adapters”.
