Port Number

You have to set up all the ports of the board with the desired “COM number”, which should not conflict with other COM number in use. In this “Individual Port Setting” dialog box, you may have two ways to map the physical ports to COM numbers depending on the check box “Auto Enumerating COM number”.

If “Auto Enumerating COM Number” is checked and specify the COM number of the first port, subsequent ports are mapped to continuous COM numbers. For instance, if first port is mapped to COM3, then second port is mapped to COM4 sequentially.

If “Auto Enumerating COM Number” is not checked, specify the COM number for individual port. For instance, the second port can be out of sequence, say COM10, while the first port is mapped to COM3.

Rx FIFO Trigger

Rx FIFO trigger levels, at 1, 4, 8 or 14 bytes, are available, and the default value is 14 bytes.

Tx FIFO Size

Tx FIFO sizes from 1 to 16 bytes are available, and the default value is 16 bytes.

7.Click [OK] in the “Port #” and the “Property” dialog boxes to go back to the “Moxa Smartio/Industio Configuration Panel” dialog box.

Note ! If you need to install more than one board, click [Add] and repeat steps 5 to 7 to configure another board. Up to four C168P boards can be installed in a system.

Click [OK] to finish the configuration.
