3 Software Installation
In this chapter, software driver installation, configuration and driver upgrade/removal
procedures are described for various operating systems, including Windows NT,
Windows 95/98, UNIX, DOS and Windows 3.x. Before proceeding with software
installation, hardware installation detailed in previous chapter should be completed in
advance.
However, if you need to develop applications, please refer to the next Chapter, “Serial
Programming Tools ” for more information.
Windows NT
Windows NT supports up to 256 serial ports, from COM1 to COM256. To fully
integrate the advanced features of Windows NT, multi-process and multi-thread, pure
32-bit Windows NT device drivers are developed for Intellio C320Turbo and other
MOXA multiport boards. The driver conforms to Win32 COMM API standard.
If you are the first time driver installer, please go directly to the section “Installing
Driver”.
If you already have installed the driver and want to re-configure the board and port,
add more boards or delete boards, please refer to the section “Configuring Board and
Port”.
If you want to update or even remove driver, please go to the section “Updating
Driver” and section “Removing Driver”.
