Advantech PCI-1625U user manual Driver Setup and Installation, Introduction

Chapter 3 Driver Setup and Installation

3.1 Introduction

This chapter describes the driver installation, configuration and removal procedures for Windows operating system, including Windows 2000/XP.

We strongly recommend that you install the software driver before you install the hardware into your system, since this will guarantee a smooth and trouble-free installation process.

3.2 Driver Setup

Windows 2000/XP supports COM1 to COM256, up to 256 serial ports. The PCI-1625U driver, however, will assign communication ports auto- matically. In order to fully utilize Windows 2000/XP advanced features such as multi-processing and multithreading, we offer pure 32-bit Win- dows 2000/XP device drivers for PCI-1625U cards. All these drivers con- form to Win32 COMM API standard.

Note:	We support all 32-bit Windows API but not
	included IOCTL_SERIAL_SET_QUEUE_SIZE
	and IOCTL_SERIAL_RESET_DEVICE.
