- 1. Introduction
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- The Smartio/Industio/UPCI family Linux driver supports following multiport
- boards:
- - 2 ports multiport board
- CP-102U, CP-102UL, CP-102UF
- CP-132U-I, CP-132UL,
- CP-132, CP-132I, CP132S, CP-132IS,
- (CP-102, CP-102S)
- - 4 ports multiport board
- CP-104EL,
- CP-104UL, CP-104JU,
- CP-134U, CP-134U-I,
- C104H/PCI, C104HS/PCI,
- CP-114, CP-114I, CP-114S, CP-114IS, CP-114UL,
- (C114HI, CT-114I),
- POS-104UL,
- CB-114,
- CB-134I
- - 8 ports multiport board
- CP-118EL, CP-168EL,
- CP-118U, CP-168U,
- C168H/PCI,
- CB-108
- If a compatibility problem occurs, please contact Moxa at
- [email protected].
- In addition to device driver, useful utilities are also provided in this
- version. They are:
- - msdiag
- Diagnostic program for displaying installed Moxa
- Smartio/Industio boards.
- - msmon
- Monitor program to observe data count and line status signals.
- - msterm A simple terminal program which is useful in testing serial
- ports.
- All the drivers and utilities are published in form of source code under
- GNU General Public License in this version. Please refer to GNU General
- Public License announcement in each source code file for more detail.
- In Moxa's Web sites, you may always find the latest driver at
- https://www.moxa.com/.
- This version of driver can be installed as a Loadable Module (Module driver)
- or built-in into kernel (Static driver). Before you install the driver,
- please refer to hardware installation procedure in the User's Manual.
- We assume the user should be familiar with following documents:
- - Serial-HOWTO
- - Kernel-HOWTO
- 2. System Requirement
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- - Maximum 4 boards can be installed in combination
- 3. Installation
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- 3.1 Hardware installation
- =========================
- PCI/UPCI board
- --------------
- You may need to adjust IRQ usage in BIOS to avoid IRQ conflict with other
- ISA devices. Please refer to hardware installation procedure in User's
- Manual in advance.
- PCI IRQ Sharing
- ---------------
- Each port within the same multiport board shares the same IRQ. Up to
- 4 Moxa Smartio/Industio PCI Family multiport boards can be installed
- together on one system and they can share the same IRQ.
- 3.2 Device naming convention
- ============================
- The device node is named "ttyMxx".
- Device naming when more than 2 boards installed
- -----------------------------------------------
- Naming convention for each Smartio/Industio multiport board is
- pre-defined as below.
- ============ ===============
- Board Num. Device node
- 1st board ttyM0 - ttyM7
- 2nd board ttyM8 - ttyM15
- 3rd board ttyM16 - ttyM23
- 4th board ttyM24 - ttyM31
- ============ ===============
- 4. Utilities
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^
- There are 3 utilities contained in this driver. They are msdiag, msmon and
- msterm. These 3 utilities are released in form of source code. They should
- be compiled into executable file and copied into /usr/bin.
- msdiag - Diagnostic
- ===================
- This utility provides the function to display what Moxa Smartio/Industio
- board was found by the driver in the system.
- msmon - Port Monitoring
- =======================
- This utility gives the user a quick view about all the MOXA ports'
- activities. One can easily learn each port's total received/transmitted
- (Rx/Tx) character count since the time when the monitoring is started.
- Rx/Tx throughputs per second are also reported in interval basis (e.g.
- the last 5 seconds) and in average basis (since the time the monitoring
- is started). You can reset all ports' count by <HOME> key. <+> <->
- (plus/minus) keys to change the displaying time interval. Press <ENTER>
- on the port, that cursor stay, to view the port's communication
- parameters, signal status, and input/output queue.
- msterm - Terminal Emulation
- ===========================
- This utility provides data sending and receiving ability of all tty ports,
- especially for MOXA ports. It is quite useful for testing simple
- application, for example, sending AT command to a modem connected to the
- port or used as a terminal for login purpose. Note that this is only a
- dumb terminal emulation without handling full screen operation.
- 5. Setserial
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^
- Supported Setserial parameters are listed as below.
- ============== =============================================================
- uart set UART type(16450 --> disable FIFO, 16550A --> enable FIFO)
- close_delay set the amount of time (in 1/100 of a second) that DTR
- should be kept low while being closed.
- closing_wait set the amount of time (in 1/100 of a second) that the
- serial port should wait for data to be drained while
- being closed, before the receiver is disabled.
- spd_hi Use 57.6kb when the application requests 38.4kb.
- spd_vhi Use 115.2kb when the application requests 38.4kb.
- spd_shi Use 230.4kb when the application requests 38.4kb.
- spd_warp Use 460.8kb when the application requests 38.4kb.
- spd_normal Use 38.4kb when the application requests 38.4kb.
- spd_cust Use the custom divisor to set the speed when the
- application requests 38.4kb.
- divisor This option sets the custom division.
- baud_base This option sets the base baud rate.
- ============== =============================================================
- 6. Troubleshooting
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- The boot time error messages and solutions are stated as clearly as
- possible. If all the possible solutions fail, please contact our technical
- support team to get more help.
- Error msg:
- More than 4 Moxa Smartio/Industio family boards found. Fifth board
- and after are ignored.
- Solution:
- To avoid this problem, please unplug fifth and after board, because Moxa
- driver supports up to 4 boards.
