Chapter 8 For Windows 3.x Users
MOXA API-232 is a software package that assists users to develop and/or debug
programs for serial communications under Windows 3.x (and also DOS).
In this chapter, driver installation and configuration procedure are described. Utility,
TTY, is explained, which is good for terminal emulation. Related issues such as driver
removal, baud rate settings, programming and existing applications are also stated.
Installation
To install, run WININST.EXE in the DOS/Windows 3.x driver (API-232) diskette,
select COMM Driver and C104, and then do configuration as prompted.
Configuration
The Windows-based configuration program, CONFIG, has the easiest way to
configure the 4 ports of C104, either from COM1 to COM4, from COM2 to
COM5, from COM3 to COM6, from COM4 to COM7, from COM5 to COM8 or
from COM6 to COM9, depending on user's need. Normally COM1 is used by
mouse and to fully use the 4 MOXA ports, thus COM3 to COM6 is recommended.
In this case, the original COM1 and COM2 on PC will be still available.
For example, if 4 ports are configured and starting from COM3, then the mapping of
serial port numbers will be as depicted.
