13 3.1 Hardware installation
14 3.2 Device naming convention
22 The Smartio/Industio/UPCI family Linux driver supports following multiport
25 - 2 ports multiport board
26 CP-102U, CP-102UL, CP-102UF
28 CP-132, CP-132I, CP132S, CP-132IS,
31 - 4 ports multiport board
35 C104H/PCI, C104HS/PCI,
36 CP-114, CP-114I, CP-114S, CP-114IS, CP-114UL,
42 - 8 ports multiport board
48 If a compatibility problem occurs, please contact Moxa at
51 In addition to device driver, useful utilities are also provided in this
55 Diagnostic program for displaying installed Moxa
56 Smartio/Industio boards.
58 Monitor program to observe data count and line status signals.
59 - msterm A simple terminal program which is useful in testing serial
62 All the drivers and utilities are published in form of source code under
63 GNU General Public License in this version. Please refer to GNU General
64 Public License announcement in each source code file for more detail.
66 In Moxa's Web sites, you may always find the latest driver at
67 https://www.moxa.com/.
69 This version of driver can be installed as a Loadable Module (Module driver)
70 or built-in into kernel (Static driver). Before you install the driver,
71 please refer to hardware installation procedure in the User's Manual.
73 We assume the user should be familiar with following documents:
81 - Maximum 4 boards can be installed in combination
86 3.1 Hardware installation
87 =========================
92 You may need to adjust IRQ usage in BIOS to avoid IRQ conflict with other
93 ISA devices. Please refer to hardware installation procedure in User's
99 Each port within the same multiport board shares the same IRQ. Up to
100 4 Moxa Smartio/Industio PCI Family multiport boards can be installed
101 together on one system and they can share the same IRQ.
105 3.2 Device naming convention
106 ============================
108 The device node is named "ttyMxx".
110 Device naming when more than 2 boards installed
111 -----------------------------------------------
113 Naming convention for each Smartio/Industio multiport board is
114 pre-defined as below.
116 ============ ===============
117 Board Num. Device node
118 1st board ttyM0 - ttyM7
119 2nd board ttyM8 - ttyM15
120 3rd board ttyM16 - ttyM23
121 4th board ttyM24 - ttyM31
122 ============ ===============
127 There are 3 utilities contained in this driver. They are msdiag, msmon and
128 msterm. These 3 utilities are released in form of source code. They should
129 be compiled into executable file and copied into /usr/bin.
134 This utility provides the function to display what Moxa Smartio/Industio
135 board was found by the driver in the system.
137 msmon - Port Monitoring
138 =======================
140 This utility gives the user a quick view about all the MOXA ports'
141 activities. One can easily learn each port's total received/transmitted
142 (Rx/Tx) character count since the time when the monitoring is started.
144 Rx/Tx throughputs per second are also reported in interval basis (e.g.
145 the last 5 seconds) and in average basis (since the time the monitoring
146 is started). You can reset all ports' count by <HOME> key. <+> <->
147 (plus/minus) keys to change the displaying time interval. Press <ENTER>
148 on the port, that cursor stay, to view the port's communication
149 parameters, signal status, and input/output queue.
151 msterm - Terminal Emulation
152 ===========================
154 This utility provides data sending and receiving ability of all tty ports,
155 especially for MOXA ports. It is quite useful for testing simple
156 application, for example, sending AT command to a modem connected to the
157 port or used as a terminal for login purpose. Note that this is only a
158 dumb terminal emulation without handling full screen operation.
163 Supported Setserial parameters are listed as below.
165 ============== =============================================================
166 uart set UART type(16450 --> disable FIFO, 16550A --> enable FIFO)
167 close_delay set the amount of time (in 1/100 of a second) that DTR
168 should be kept low while being closed.
169 closing_wait set the amount of time (in 1/100 of a second) that the
170 serial port should wait for data to be drained while
171 being closed, before the receiver is disabled.
172 spd_hi Use 57.6kb when the application requests 38.4kb.
173 spd_vhi Use 115.2kb when the application requests 38.4kb.
174 spd_shi Use 230.4kb when the application requests 38.4kb.
175 spd_warp Use 460.8kb when the application requests 38.4kb.
176 spd_normal Use 38.4kb when the application requests 38.4kb.
177 spd_cust Use the custom divisor to set the speed when the
178 application requests 38.4kb.
179 divisor This option sets the custom division.
180 baud_base This option sets the base baud rate.
181 ============== =============================================================
186 The boot time error messages and solutions are stated as clearly as
187 possible. If all the possible solutions fail, please contact our technical
188 support team to get more help.
192 More than 4 Moxa Smartio/Industio family boards found. Fifth board
193 and after are ignored.
196 To avoid this problem, please unplug fifth and after board, because Moxa
197 driver supports up to 4 boards.
