UPort 1100 Series User’s Manual Installation and Configuration
Install Linux Driver
Linux Kernel 2.4.20 and above
The Linux driver for the Moxa UPort 1000 Series converters will map Linux host ttyUSBxx ports
to UPort device ports. Once the mapping has been set up, Linux users and applications can connect
to a device port as if it were a ttyUSBxx port. These drivers have been designed and tested for the
majority of Linux distributions, including Linux kernel version 2.4.20 and above. Please check
Moxa’s website (http://www.moxa.com) for the latest Linux kernel support.
The Linux drivers support the following models:
y UPort 1110: 1-port RS-232 USB-to-Serial Converter.
y UPort 1130: 1-port RS-422/485 USB-to-Serial Converter.
y UPort 1150: 1-port RS-232/422/485 USB-to-Serial Converter.
y UPort 1150I: 1-port RS-232/422/485 USB-to-Serial Converter with isolation protection.
In this section, we provide four procedures to introduce the Moxa Linux Driver.
1. Installing the Linux Driver File
2. Loading/Unloading the Moxa Driver
3. Setting the Serial Parameters
4. Remover the Moxa Linux Driver
Installing the Linux Driver Files
Obtain the driver file from the Document and Software CD, or from the Moxa website at
http://www.moxa.com
.
To install and load the Linux drivers, enter the following commands from the Linux prompt:
# mount /dev/cdrom/ mnt
# cd /
# mkdir moxa
# cd /moxa
# cp /mnt/<driver directory>/driv_linux2.4_uport1p_vx.x_build_yymmddhh.tgz/moxa
# tar -xvfz driv_linux2.4_uport1p_vx.x_build_yymmddhh.tgz
*Note: yy = year, mm = month, dd = day, hh = hour
Loading the Moxa Driver
After installing the driver you can load the Moxa driver. The driver will be loaded automatically
when the UPort 1100 is plugged into your PC, or you can load the driver manually.
# modprobe mxuport1100_24
You can verify that the driver has loaded by entering the following command:
# lsmod
For additional information, please refer to readme.txt in the mxuport1100_24 directory.
