CB Series PC104 Plus User’s Manual Hardware Installation Hardware Installation Installing the CB Series module is easy. Before inserting the module into the PC/104-Plus slot, you must first configure the I/O base address, interrupt vector, IRQ, and serial interface (for select models). ATTENTION Safety First! To prevent damage to your system or board, make sure your embedded PC’s power is turned off before installing your CB Series module. Step 1: Shut off power to your embedded PC and to any peripheral devices. After shutting off power, remove the cover of your embedded PC. Step 2: Use the DIP switches on the module to select the serial interface. Details for each model are provided later in this chapter. Step 3: Insert the module firmly into the embedded PC’s PC/104-Plus slot. Step 4: Screw the control board in place. Step 5: Connect the cables. Step 6: Power on the embedded PC. The BIOS will automatically set the IRQ and I/O address Step 7: Proceed with the software installation. Please refer to Chapter 3.

The rotary switch, which looks like a clock, provides a bi-directional path with no signal propagation delay. The first module on the stack should be set to CLK0, the second to CLK1, etc., to eliminate clock skew between modules. Termination Resistor Onboard termination resistors can be activated individually for each serial port using jumpers JP1 through JP4. JP1 corresponds to serial port 1. Short the jumper pins to activate the termination resistor; leave the jumper pins open to bypass the termination resistor. 2-3

33 Chapter 3Software Installation After installing the CB Series module in your embedded computer, the next step is installing the software. Drivers for various operating systems are provided, including DOS, Windows, and Linux. This chapter explains how to install and remove the CB Series driver. The following topics are covered in this chapter:  Windows NT  Windows 95/98/ME  Windows Vista (32-bit and 64-bit)  Windows XP, 2003 (32-bit and 64-bit)  Windows 2000  Linux (32-bit and 64-bit)  DOS  Windows CE 5.0
CB Series PC104 Plus User’s Manual Software Installation Windows NT Installing the Driver You will need to plug the board in an available PCI or PCI-X slot first, before installing the driver. Note that these instructions use the CB-114 as an example. The procedure for installing all models is the same. 1. Log into Windows NT as Administrator. 2. Locate the appropriate folder for your board’s drivers on the Document & Software CD. The NT drivers will be located under the product folder in the \Software\WinNT directory (e.g., under \CB-114 Series\Software). Copy this folder to the PC’s hard disk and remember its location. 3. In the Control Panel, open Network applet. On the Adapters tab, click Add. When prompted to select a product, click Have Disk…. You will be prompted to enter the path to the driver. Enter the location of the drivers that you copied from the Document & Software CD (C:\Windows.nt in this example) and then click OK. 3-2
CB Series PC104 Plus User’s Manual Software Installation 4. When prompted, select your board model (Smartio/Industio Family multiport board in this example) and click OK. 5. After the files have been installed, a configuration panel will open. This is where boards are installed, configured, and removed. If another board has already been installed on the system, it will already be listed. Windows NT does not automatically detect Moxa UPCI boards, so you will need to click Add for a newly installed board. 6. Under Board Type, select the UPCI board that is being installed. The window will show the COM settings for the serial ports on the board. You can modify the COM settings for any port at this time by selecting a port and clicking Port Setting. If you are satisfied with the COM settings, click OK to return to the configuration panel. 3-3
CB Series PC104 Plus User’s Manual Software Installation 7. The board will now appear in the configuration panel (CB-114 Series in this example). Click OK to return to the Network applet. After that, click OK again to exit the Network applet 8. Restart the PC. After you have logged back into Windows NT, you may check the event log issued by the Moxa driver to see if the board’s ports have been initialized successfully. In the Administrative group, open Event Viewer and select Log and System. For each newly installed or configured Moxa UPCI board, check for a message stating that the board has been enabled (e.g., “MoxaCB-114 board, with first serial port COM3, has been enabled”). 3-4
CB Series PC104 Plus User’s Manual Software Installation Configuring the Ports 1. In Windows Control Panel, open the Network applet.
