Installing Windows Driver

Launch the Windows XP/7/8/10/2012/ 2016 (32/64-bit) driver setup program (PCIe_SPCard_Win_Setup_1.00.02.exe), which can be obtained from either the companion CD-ROM or the web site:
CD: \Napdos\multiport\windows\
https://www.icpdas.com/en/download/index.phpnation=US&kw=PCIe+Series+Card+Windows+Drive
Click the “Next>” button to start the installation.
Click the “Next>” button to install the driver into the default folder.
In the installation process, the Command Prompt windows will be displayed, don’t care. And please do not close this Command Prompt window in the installation process.
Select the “NO, I will restart the computer later” and click the “Finish” button.

Installing the Hardware

ICPDAS PCIe S118 Serial Communication Card-Connector 1

Shut down and power off your computer.

Remove the cover from the computer.

Select an unused PCI Express slot.

Carefully insert your PCIe-S1x8 card into the PCI Express slot.

Replace the PC cover.

Power on the computer.

Follow the prompt message to finish the Plug & Play steps.

Please open the “Device Manager” to verify the COM port installation, as follows steps:
8-1: In Windows 7, Click “Start” button, and then click “Control Panel”.
8-2: Click “System and Maintenance”, and then click “Device Manager”.
8-3: Verify that the COM ports of PCIe-S118/S148 card are listed correctly.

Manual COM Port Configuration

If the auto-configuration for COM Port is messy or that is not what you need, you can change the COM port mappings. For detailed configuration steps, please refer to the following:

Open Windows Device Manager and right-click on the serial port of the PCIe-S1x8 series card.
Select the “Properties” item from the popup menu.
Click the “Port Settings” tab and click the “Advanced…” button.
Select the appropriate COM Port number from the “COM Port Number:” drop-down options and click the “OK” button. Note that the COM port display “(in use)” means this COM port is being used.
Therefore, please do not select it.
Click the “OK” button in the “Properties” dialog box.
Restart your computer to complete the configuration.
