NOTE: This section applies to Linux kernel 2.2.14 or later.
The Moxa Smartio/Industio driver is included in the Linux kernel 2.2.14 or later versions.
However, to use this built-in driver, you need some additional utilities that can be
downloaded from the Moxa website, or software CD-ROM. We suggest that you back up
the built-in driver (/usr/src/linux/drivers/char/mxser.c), and use the driver downloaded from
Moxa or the software CD-ROM.
The installation procedure involves both hardware and software installation.
For instructions on installing the hardware, refer to the “Hardware installation”
section.
To install the software:
1. Extract the Moxa driver (refer to the “Driver files” section).
2. There are two methods that can be used to install the Moxa driver: module & static.
If you want to use the module method, refer to the “Module driver configuration"
section. If you want to use the static method, refer to the “Static driver
configuration" section.
