ATTENTION

Before plugging the adaptor into your computer’s USB port, we recommend installing the driver first. Please refer to “Software Introduction” for driver installation procedures. After the driver is installed, the adaptor can be plugged into any upstream type A USB port, either on a PC host or on an upstream hub. The adaptor is hot-pluggable, so there is no need to power down your computer prior to installation. The Found New Hardware wizard will automatically locate the appropriate drivers, and various windows will appear as the adaptor is being installed.
After the Found New Hardware wizard finishes installing the adaptor, the Windows Device Manager may be used to modify the settings for the new COM port. The new COM port will be listed under Ports (COM & LPT) and the new adapters will be listed under Multi-port serial adapters. For more information about port configuration, please refer to the UPort 1100 series user manual.

Windows Driver Installation
The following instructions and screenshots are from a PC running Windows 32-bit, but the same instructions apply for a Windows 64-bit platform. If you want to know which Windows OSs Moxa supports, please go to support center on Moxa’s website to check the latest driver http://www.moxa.com/support/, under Product Support.

1. Run the Setup program, click Next to start installing the driver.

2. Click on Next to install the driver in the indicated folder.

3. Click on Install to proceed with installation.

4. Then, click Finish to complete the driver installation.

Installing the Hardware

1. Case 1: The UPort Driver is Certified

If the UPort driver that you installed has been certified by Microsoft, the UPort and the UPort’s serial ports will be installed automatically when you plug the UPort into your computer’s USB port.

Case 2: The UPort Driver is NOT Certified
If the UPort driver that you installed has not been certified by Microsoft, then plugging the driver into your computer’s USB port will activate the UPort installation program. The first part of the installation procedure installs the software for the UPort itself (the second part of the procedure installs the serial ports).
Plug the adaptor into any upstream USB port (e.g., a USB port on your computer). Windows are done with hardware installation at this point and may continue on to port configuration. Windows will auto-detect the UPort cable and show Found New Hardware in the System Tray. 2. The following window will appear. Select No, not this item click  Next. 3. Select Install the software automatically (Recommended), and then click Next to proceed. 4. The next window cautions you that this software has not passed Windows logo testing. This is a standard warning, and Moxa has thoroughly tested the driver for safe Windows operation. Please click Continue Anyways to proceed. Then, click Finish to complete the driver installation.
5. Repeat Step2 to Step 4 until COM port is installed.

Installing the Win CE 5.0/6.0 Driver
Moxa provides two installation procedures that can be used to install the Windows CE 5.0/6.0 driver: by “CAB file” and with the “installation package.” In this document, we only cover the CAB file installation. If you need to use package to install the WinCE driver, please refer to the user’s manual.
Installation with a CAB File
Step 1 : Install Microsoft ActiveSync on the source PC. Before running ActiveSync on the source PC, use an RS-232 null modem cable to connect the WinCE device (CEPC) to the PC.
Step 2 : Go to the “Command Prompt” on the WinCE device and execute the repllog command. A new partnership window will appear. Select “No” and then click on “Next.” You will see “Connected” in ActiveSync.
Step 3 : Click on the “Explore” button in the ActiveSync window, and then copy the
UP1100_COM_v1.0_Setup.CAB (For WinCE 6.0) or
UP1100_COM_v1.1_Setup.CAB (For WinCE 5.0)
file to the Mobile/Target Device.
Step 4 : Double click on the CAB file to start installing the UPort 1100 series WinCE driver.
After installing the driver, plug the UPort 1100 series device into the USB port of the WinCE Device. The driver will be loaded automatically. At this point, the UPort 1100 series is ready to use.
