Configuring the Board and Ports

NOTE

Double check that all Smartio CP-168U board components—including the control board—are

connected and fastened tightly to ensure that the system and driver can start up.

 

 

 

 

Once the system restarts, you may check the event log issued by the MOXA driver to see if

 

the board’s ports have been initialized successfully.

 

Enter the [Administrative] group, click the [Event Viewer] icon, and then select [Log]

 

and [System] to check a message similar to “MOXA CP-168U board, with first serial

 

port COM3, has been enabled” for each newly configured board.

 

 

NOTE

If an error message similar to “Cannot find any configured MOXA Smartio/Industio series

board!” pops up, refer to the Troubleshooting chapter for possible solutions.

 

 

 

 

Once the board and the driver are installed and the driver restarts successfully, you can

 

begin to develop applications with the PComm library (see “Serial Programming Tools”)

 

or the Microsoft Win32 API. You can also use applications such as Terminal Emulator (see

 

Serial Programming Tools”), a PComm utility, or HyperTerminal, to transmit/receive data,

 

as well as Remote Access Service to provide dial-up networking capabilities.
