Windows 2008 and Windows Vista support up to 256 serial ports from COM1 to COM256. In order to make the
best use of Windows 2008/Vista’s multi-process/multi-thread advanced features, 32-bit and 64-bit Windows
2008/Vista device drivers were developed for Moxa multiport boards. The drivers conform to the Win32 COMM
API standard.
Installing the Driver
The following instructions show how to install the driver for the first time under Windows 2008/Vista. You will
need to plug the board in an available PCI or PCI-X slot first, before installing the driver.
ATTENTION
The following steps will not be necessary if a Moxa UPCI board was already installed on your computer.
Windows will automatically detect and install any additional board(s) at bootup. In this case, you may proceed
directly to configuring the ports.
Note that these instructions use the CP-118U as an example. The procedure for installing all models is the
same.
1.
After the board is physically installed and the PC boots up, Windows will automatically detect the new board.
The Found New Hardware Wizard window will open automatically. Select Locate and install driver
software (recommended).
