Port number:
This is the port ID of each port. Application software will refer to a port
by its port number (ID). Port numbers must be unique; duplicate port
numbers are not allowed. The port number can range from 0 to 255 as
long as it does not overlap with another port. Generally, you should
consider the convenience of programming when specifying the port
number.
TxD buffer size:
This is the transmission (output) buffer allocated in the system for each
port.
RxD buffer size:
This is the receiving (input) buffer allocated in the system for each port.
F5: Group Edit:
This allows you to configure several ports simultaneously as a group.
Press F10 to save the latest configuration and exit the setup program.
Loading the Driver
After setting up the driver, you must load the driver in order to gain access to the serial ports on the
serial board. Run BIN\DP-DRV.EXE at the DOS prompt. The driver will detect your multiport
serial board automatically. You should see messages indicating successful detection of your module,
such as the following:
Smartio/Industio Family DOS driver Version 1.9
Setup driver .
CP-134U series (Bus= x ,Dev=y) : OK!
Device driver setup O.K.
At this point, you can execute applications that support API-232 functions, or start developing
applications using the API-232 library.
