Universal PCI Board Introduction Overview Moxa Universal PCI (UPCI) multiport serial boards can be installed in PCI or PCI-X slots, and support both 3.3V and 5V PCI/PCI-X. With a UPCI board, you can connect data acquisition equipment and other serial devices to your PC over RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485. Each board has on-chip hardware and software flow control, a built-in 128-byte Tx/Rx FIFO, and well-designed device drivers that have been fine-tuned.
Universal PCI Board Introduction Smartio—The Smart Multiport Async Solution The Smartio Series of multiport serial boards includes the CP-168U, CP-104UL, CP-104JU, POS-104UL, CP-102UL, and CP-102U. These boards provide RS-232 serial ports for connecting terminals, modems, printers, scanners, cash registers, bar code readers, keypads, numeric displays, electrical scales, data acquisition equipment, and many other serial devices to a PC.
Universal PCI Board Introduction Universal PCI For maximum compatibility with the PCI local bus specification, UPCI boards support both 3.3V and 5V PCI connector types. The 32/64-bit PCI local bus specification specifies both a 3.3V/5V and 32/64-bit slot. Operating System Support Moxa UPCI boards are compatible with most major industrial platforms, including Windows, DOS, and Linux. Drivers are provided for smoother installation, configuration, and performance.

Right-click on the driver Prefix COM or Prefix MXU you would like to include and choose Add to OS Design. NOTE You can only select either Prefix COM or Prefix MXU, but not both. 5. Prefix COM supports up to 10 ports, from COM0 to COM9.
Universal PCI Board Software Installation 6. After adding Moxa Tech drivers into your OS Design, a new project is automatically added to your workspace. The project name is mxserce5. The project can be accessed from File View (View File View). The mxserce5 project contains a number of files used to configure the drivers included in your OS Design. NOTE If you would like to use “Terminal Emulator” tool, please modify mxserce5.reg and keyboard like below (This is only just for “one” “COM” port).
Universal PCI Board Software Installation 8. Finally, copy your image file to the target Host. NOTE If you have created a Windows CE Platform Builder in the development environment, you can skip steps 2, 3, and 4. Windows CE 6.0 The following procedure explains how to install the CP-102U multiport serial board driver under WinCE 6.0. 1. Obtain a copy of Moxa’s WinCE 6.0 driver and extract it to your computer. Double click the install package to automatically install Mxser. 2.

Click “Next” to continue. 7. On the Networking & Communication page select your environment, TCP/IPv6 Support for example. Click “Next” to continue.
Universal PCI Board Software Installation 8. When the OS Design Project Wizard Complete screen appears, click “Finish.” The catalog notification will pop up. Click “Acknowledge” to finish the project.
Universal PCI Board Software Installation 9. Open the project you created. Click Project on top of the screen, and select Add Existing Subproject. Specify the PCI MSB Mxser driver location with the subproject file “mxserce6.pbpxml.” 10. After the subproject is added, you may configure the “mxserce6.reg” registry file with the location [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\PCI\Template\MOXAPCICOM].
Universal PCI Board Software Installation 11. Configuring FIFO and index: Setting the FIFO registry value to 1 enables the FIFO function and 0 disables it. The index allows you to define the initial COM port number in WinCE, but before using this function; make sure that the COM port numbers do not conflict. 12. Open Build and select Advanced Build Commands and choose Build Sysgen. This operation will take you a few minutes. 13.
Universal PCI Board Software Installation Non Windows Driver Drivers are provided for DOS, Linux, and SCO. DOS Moxa DOS API-232 is a software package that can help you develop or debug serial communications programs. This section will show you how to install the package, how to set up the driver, and how to load or unload the driver.
Universal PCI Board Software Installation 2. After installation is complete, you will be prompted to set up the board and driver initial values. It is strongly recommended that you set up the board and driver at this time by pressing Y. Setting up the Driver The following instructions are not intended to illustrate every function of the setup program. For more detailed information, please refer to the help files by pressing F1 in the setup program. 1. Run the setup program, BIN\SETUP.EXE.
Universal PCI Board Software Installation 2. Press PgDn to view and modify the setup options for the selected board. 3. The settings for each port will be displayed. Verify the settings and make any necessary changes.
Universal PCI Board Port number: Software Installation This is the port ID of each port. Application software will refer to a port by its port number (ID). Port numbers must be unique; duplicate port numbers are not allowed. The port number can range from 0 to 255 as long as it does not overlap with another port. Generally, you should consider the convenience of programming when specifying the port number. TxD buffer size: This is the transmission (output) buffer allocated in the system for each port.

Universal PCI Board Serial Programming Tools Overview Moxa provides Windows serial programming libraries and troubleshooting utilities that are easy to use and powerful. You can use these tools to reduce software development time. The serial communication library is useful for developing applications for data communications, remote access, data acquisition, and industrial control. It provides a simpler solution compared to the more complex Windows Win32 COMM API.
Universal PCI Board Serial Programming Tools PComm Diagnostic PComm Diagnostic is designed for Moxa boards only. It provides internal and external testing of IRQ, TxD/RxD, UART, CTS/RTS, DTR/DSR, DTR/DCD, and other items. You can use PComm Diagnostic to check the operation of both software and hardware. To run the Diagnostic program, go to Start Program PComm Lite Diagnostic. PComm Monitor PComm Monitor is designed for Moxa boards in Windows NT only.
Universal PCI Board Serial Programming Tools PComm Terminal Emulator PComm Terminal Emulator can be used to connect to a serial port to verify that data transmission is functioning correctly. It supports multiple windows and both VT100 and ANSI terminal types. You can interactively transfer data, periodically send patterns, and transfer files using ASCII, XMODEM, YMODEM, ZMODEM, and KERMIT protocols. To run PComm Terminal Emulator, go to Start Program PComm Lite Terminal Emulator.
