#cd /moxa/mxpcdrv/utility/term
#./msterm
DOS
MOXA DOS API-232 is a software package that can help you develop or debug serial
communications programs. This section will explain how to install the package, set up the driver,
and load or unload the driver. For additional information about the API-232 library and utilities,
please refer to Chapter 4.
The DOS drivers support the CA-104, CA-104-T, CA-132, CA-132-T, CA-132I, and CA-132I-T.
The CA-108, CA-114, and CA-134I models are not supported under DOS.
In the following instructions, the CA-104 is used as an example.
Installing the Driver
Run the installation program, DOSINST.EXE, in the DOS folder. Specify the target directory for
the API-232 files (e.g., C:\MOXA). Press F2 to start the installation.
