| 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 |
| support@moxa.com.tw. |
| |
| 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. |
