3 Software Installation
In this chapter, software driver installation, configuration and driver update/removal
procedures are described for various operating systems, including Windows NT,
Windows 95/98 and UNIX. Before proceeding with software installation, complete
the hardware installation detailed in the previous chapter.
However, if you need to develop applications, 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/PCI
and other MOXA multiport boards. The drivers conform to Win32 COMM API
standard.
If you install the driver for the first time, 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”.
If you want to remove boards, please simply unplug the desired boards from the
system.
