3 Software Installation
In this chapter, software driver installation, configuration and driver
update/removal procedures are described for various operating systems, including
Windows NT and Windows 95/98. Before proceeding with software installation,
hardware installation detailed in previous chapter should be completed in advance.
However, if it is necessary for you to develop your own applications, please refer to
the next chapter, “Serial Programming Tools”, for serial programming issues.
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 CP-204J 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” or “Removing Driver”.
