3 Software Installation
In this chapter, the software driver installation, configuration and driver update/removal procedures
are described for various operating systems, including Windows NT, Windows 95/98 and DOS.
Before proceeding with the software installation, complete the hardware installation detailed in
previous chapter.
However, if it is necessary for you to develop your own applications, please refer to the next chapter,
“Serial Programming Tools”, for serial programming issues.
Windows NT
Windows NT supports up to 256 serial ports, from COM1 to COM256. To fully integrate the
advanced features of Windows NT, multi-process and multi-thread, pure 32-bit Windows NT device
drivers are developed for the Industio CP-114 Series and other MOXA multiport boards. The drivers
conform to Win32 COMM API standard.
If you install the driver for the first time, please go directly to the section “Installing Driver”.
If you have already installed the driver and want to re-configure the board and port, please refer to
the section, “Configuring Board and Port”.
If you have already installed the driver and want to add or delete boards, please refer to the section,
“Adding/Removing Board”.
If you want to update or even remove the driver, please go to the section, “Updating Driver”, or the
section, “Removing Driver”.
