2. Plug the connection cable into the board’s connector. (Refer to Pin Assignments for the cable pin assignment).
3. Start system and verify the driver initialization.

Software Installation Information

1. Get the driver at www.moxa.com. Base on the OS type, choosing the corresponding driver.
2. Installing the driver:

• For Windows OS (Take the installation of Win7 as an example)

  1. Unzip and execute the .exe file
  2. Follow the instructions to install the drivers

• For Linux
  Execute the following commands from the Linux prompt:

  1. Get the driver at www.moxa.com and unzip the file: #cd / #mkdir moxa #cd moxa #cp //driv_linuxsmartbuild.tgz. #tar -zxvf driv_linuxsmartbuild.tgz
  2. Install the driver: #cd mxser #./mxinstall
  3. Verify the driver status Use the Moxa diagnostic utility to verify the driver status: #cd /moxa/mxser/utility/diag #./msdiag
  4. Test the tty port Use the Moxa terminal utility to test the tty ports: #cd /moxa/mxser/utility/term #./msterm

Intelligent RS-485
The following models support the intelligent RS-485 feature:

• CP-134EL-A-I without a cable
• CP-134EL-A-I-DB9M
• CP-134EL-A-I-DB25M
• CP-138E-A-I without a cable
• CP-118E-A-I without a cable
• CP-116E-A without a cable

If your multiport serial board is one of the above models, and has an RS-485 2W interface, then you could follow the sections below to complete the intelligent RS-485 setting.

NOTE
The other PCIe multiport serial boards don’t support the intelligent RS-485 feature.

For Windows OS

1. Go to the device management to complete the model properties setting.
2. Click Start Diagnosis. (It should be RS-485-2W). If the status is OK, nothing further needs to be done. If the status is Waveform Distortion, Data Error, or Receive Reflect Signal, go to next step to do the auto tuning
3. Auto Tuning Still in the Properties Settings page, click on the COM number that shows the error message. Click Auto Tuning. Click OK to apply the setting change for the bias resistor and termination resistor.

For Linux
Follow these steps to configure the Intelligent RS-485 in Linux

1. Detect the configurations of the port by the following command: #./muestty -g /dev/ttyMUE1#cd /
2. Use the following command to run diagnosis to see if the setting is correct. #./muestty -d /dev/ttyMUE1
3. If the alarm status shows OK, nothing further needs to be done. If the alarm status shows Fail, then there are problems with the setting. Do the auto-tuning process with the following command #./muestty -a /dev/ttyMUE1
4. Manually configure the Pull Up/Down resistor and the terminator resistor with the assigned values: #./muestty –p (assigned value) /dev/ttyMUE1 #./muestty –t (assigned value) /dev/ttyMUE1
5. Do the diagnosis again: #./muestty -d /dev/ttyMUE1
