Industio CP-132 Series User’s Manual
Windows 95/98
Windows 95/98 supports up to
128
serial ports, from
COM1
to
COM128
. To fully
integrate the advanced features of Windows 95/98, multi-process and multi-thread,
pure 32-bit Windows 95/98 virtual device port drivers (VxD) compliant with
communication drivers (VCOMM) are developed for the
Industio
CI-132 Series and
other MOXA multiport boards. The drivers conform to the Win32 COMM API
standard.
To install the driver for the first time driver, 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”.
To upgrade or remove driver, please go to the sections, “Updating Driver”
and “Removing Driver”.
Installing Driver
You can easily plug the
Industio
CP-132 Series board and work right away with
very little installation efforts under Windows 95/98 supporting
Plug and Play
capability. Windows 95/98 will automatically detect the presence of the newly
plugged board and prompt you to install the software driver for the first time. In this
case, you need the driver diskette.
At most 4
Industio
CP-132 Series boards can be installed in ONE system as long as
the I/O addresses and IRQ number resources are sufficient and available in the
system.
The following flow chart illustrates the driver installation stages of the
Industio
CP-
132 Series boards.
Each stage will be discussed later.
