Board and Port Ready
Board and Port Ready for Windows 95 and Windows 98 are slightly different. In finishing
this stage, the driver installation will be complete.
Windows 95 Windows 98
After the port configuration, you can immediately
use the COM ports of the Smartio CP-168U board
without restarting Windows 95.
After the port configuration, click on [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 newly plugged board. Skip to 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
to develop 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.
