Board and Port Ready

Board and Port Ready for Windows 95 and Windows 98 are slightly different. In finishing this stage, the driver installation will be complete.

Windows 95 Windows 98

After the port configuration, you can immediately use the COM ports of the Smartio CP-168U board without restarting Windows 95.

After the port configuration, click on [Finish]. The COM ports of the Smartio CP-168U board can be used without restarting Windows 98.

Note! If an error message similar to “CP-168U board(BusNo=x, DevNo=x, Port1=COMx) interrupt number is invalid!” pops up, refer to the “Troubleshooting” chapter for solutions.

If you want to add more boards after installing the driver, simply plug the additional Smartio CP-168U board into an empty PCI slot, and Windows 95/98 will automatically detect the newly plugged board. Skip to Port Configuration to take care of port settings.

This completes the installation of the Smartio CP-168U board driver, including board and port configuration. However, if you need to make changes to the board and port configuration, refer to the next section, “Configuring Board and Port,” for configuration details.

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 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.
