Linux Kernel 2.6.x
The Linux driver for Moxa’s UPort 2000 Series of USB-to-serial converters maps a Linux host’s
ttyUSBxx ports to the UPort’s serial ports. Once the mapping has been established, Linux users
and applications can connect to a device port as if it were a ttyUSBxx port. The Linux drivers have
been tested with the majority of Linux distributions, including Linux kernel 2.6.x. Please check
Moxa’s website (http://www.moxa.com) for the latest Linux kernel support information.
In this section, we explain how to complete the following tasks:
1. Installing the Linux Driver
2. Loading the Moxa Driver
3. Unloading the Moxa Driver
4. Removing the Moxa Driver and Utility files
5. Using the mxustty Utility
