In this chapter, the driver software installation, configuration, and driver update/removal
procedures are described for various operating systems, including Windows NT, Windows
95/98, and Windows 2000/XP. Before proceeding with the software installation, be sure to
first complete the hardware installation discussed in the previous chapter.
Refer to the next chapter, “Serial Programming Tools,” for information on developing your
own serial programming applications.
Windows NT, Windows 95/98, Windows 2000/XP, and Linux drivers can be downloaded
from the Moxa website.
Windows NT
Windows NT supports up to 256 serial ports, from COM1 to COM256. To fully utilize
Windows NT’s multi-process and multi-thread advanced features, pure 32-bit Windows NT
device drivers were developed for the Smartio CP-168U board and other MOXA multiport
boards. The drivers conform to the Win32 COMM API standard.
