Board and Port Ready Stage

Click [OK] for all the dialog boxes to finish the configuration and exit the CP-114 Series Installation” dialog box.

In this last stage, you will complete the driver installation.

Windows 95

After the port installation, you can immediately use the COM ports of the Industio CP-114 Series board without restarting Windows 95 system.

Windows 98

After the port installation, click on the [Finish] button. Now you can immediately use the COM ports of the Industio CP-114 Series board without restarting Windows98 system.

Once the installation is finished, error conditions of the board, if any, are displayed on the screen. Otherwise, everything should be fine.

If an error message similar to “CP-114 (BusNo=x, DevNo=x, Port1=COMx) interrupt number is invalid!” appears, refer to the “Troubleshooting” chapter for solutions.

Note ! Up to now, the driver installation of the Industio CP-114 Series is complete and successful, including the board and port configuration. However, if changes of the board and port configuration are needed, please refer to the next section, “Configuring Board and Port”, for more configuration details.

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”) or the Microsoft Win32 API. You can also execute any ready-made applications, such as PComm utility Terminal emulator (See “Serial Programming Tools”) or HyperTerminal to transmit/receive data, as well as Remote Access Service to provide dial-up networking capabilities.

If multiple boards are installed at the same time, the same scenario applies for the next boards, except that no driver diskette is asked anymore.

Similarly, if you want to add more boards and the driver has been installed before, simply plug the Industio CP-114 Series board and Windows 95/98 will automatically detect and install the required driver.
