Windows 95/98
In this section, we describe the installation procedure for Windows 98. The installation procedure
for Windows 95 is similar.
The Windows 95/98 driver supports up to 128 serial ports, from COM1 to COM128. To utilize
fully the advanced multi-process and multi-thread features of Windows 95/98, pure 32-bit
Windows 95/98 virtual device port drivers (VxD) compliant with communication drivers
(VCOMM) have been developed for the CP-118U and other MOXA multiport boards. The drivers
conform to the Win32 COMM API standard.
Installing the Driver for the First Time
The following procedure shows how to install the CP-118U driver for the first time under
Windows 98. First, make sure the board or boards have already been plugged into the system’s PCI
or PCI-X slot(s).
NOTE
If you have already installed a CP-118U or other MOXA Smartio/Industio board in your
computer, and you install additional boards, Windows 98/95 will automatically detect and install
the new board(s) the next time you boot up the computer. In this case, proceed directly to the
next section, “Configuring the Ports,” to configure the ports’ serial transmission parameters.
