In this section, we explain the meaning of some of the fields and functions.
Port number
This is the ID of the port. Application software uses port number (ID) when referring to a port. You can set the
port numbers to any number between 0 and 255 (inclusive). However, you must ensure that you assign each
port a unique port number. If you are developing your own application software, then you may want to select
port numbers that take into consideration the structure of the program.
TxD buffer size
The TxD buffer is the transmission (output) buffer allocated by the system for each port.
RxD buffer size
The RxD buffer is the receiving (input) buffer allocated by the system for each port.
F5 Group Edit
This convenient function allows you to edit the configuration of several ports at one time as a group.

Loading the Driver

After completing the setup procedure, run BIN\DP-DRV.EXE from the DOS prompt to load the driver. The
driver will automatically detect the boards that have already been installed. If one or more boards are detected,
you will see a message similar to the following:

Device driver setup O.K.
This indicates that the CP-168EL Series driver has been installed properly. At this point, you may execute
