The final stage of the driver installation process is slightly different for Windows 95 and
Windows 98. After this stage, driver installation is complete.
Windows 95
Windows 98
After port configuration, you can immediately use
the COM ports of the Smartio CP-168U board
without restarting Windows 95.
After port configuration, click [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 new board. Skip to the 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
developing 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.
