3-38 Intellio C320Turbo User's Manual
MOXA Windows-compatible COMM Driver
Due to the limitations of Windows 3.x operating system itself, only up to 9 COM
ports are supported, i.e., COM1 to COM9. Hence, Intellio C320Turbo with 8 ports is a
suitable choice.
After successful installation, a program group will be created which contains all the
useful programs Moxa provided. Restarting of Windows 3.1 system is required for
MOXA Standard Windows-compatible COMM Driver after installation. When
system restarted, the MOXA COMM Driver is ready to go.
Configuration
The Windows-based configuration program, CONFIG, has the easiest way to
configure the 8 ports of Intellio C320Turbo, either from COM1 to COM8, from COM2
to COM9, from COM3 to COM9, from COM4 to COM9 or from COM5 to COM9,
depending on user's need. Normally COM1 is used by mouse and to fully use the
MOXA 8 ports, thus COM2 to COM9 is recommended. In this case, the original
COM2 on PC will be ignored, no matter it is disabled or not and any thing connecting
to COM2 could now connect to the first port of Intellio C320Turbo, instead. In case of
configuring from COM1 to COM8, the situation is similar to the previous one and the
first port of Intellio C320Turbo serves as original COM1, while the second port as
COM2. As to configuring from COM3 to COM9, only 7 ports are workable, and so
on.
For example, if 8 ports are configured and starting from COM2, then the mapping of
serial port numbers will be as depicted.
