Windows 2003/XP (32-bit/64-bit)

In this section, we describe the installation procedure for Windows XP. The installation procedure
for Windows 2003 is similar.
Windows 2003/XP support up to 256 serial ports, from COM1 to COM256. In order to make the
best use of Windows 2003/XP's multi-process/multi-thread advanced features, 32-bit and 64-bit
Windows 2003/XP device drivers were developed for Moxa multiport boards. The drivers
conform to the Win32 COMM API standard.
Installing the Driver
The following procedure shows how to install the CP-118EL driver for the first time under
Windows XP. First, make sure that you have already plugged the board or boards into the system's
PCI Express slot(s).
NOTE
If you have already installed a CP-118EL or other Moxa PCI Express board in your computer,
and you are installing additional boards, Windows 2003/XP will automatically detect and install
the new board(s) the next time you boot up the computer. In this case, proceed directly to the next
section, "Configuring the Ports," to configure the ports' serial transmission parameters.
