1 1 Introduction Overview Smartio—The Smart Multiport Async Solution The term Smartio stands for smart multiport serial I/O solution. Th e Smartio CP-168U board is designed for the 32-bit PC I bus with Plug and Play feature.
PCI Solution The CP-168U board complie s with PCI Spec. 2.1, and does not use either switches or jumpers. The hardware configuration for t he IRQ and memory addresses is automatically assigned by the PCI BIOS. Hence, the board MUST be plugged in before installing the driver software.
Introduction Features The Smartio CP-168U board has 8 RS-232 ports, em bedded ESD 16 KV surge protection, and uses a Moxa or 16C550C com patible UART, and has the following im portant features: Supports uni versal PCI, plug and play (no switc hes or jumpers) Fits both 3.
Package Checklist You should find the followi ng items i n the Smartio CP-168U board package: Sm artio CP-168U 8-port serial board Software CD t hat contains drivers for Windows NT/2000/XP, Windows 95/98, and Linux.
Introduction Installation Guide This section gives a brief summa ry of how to install the Smartio CP-168U board under each supported operating system . The installation i s simple and invol ves the following stages: Check the PCI BIOS settings. Install the Smartio CP-168U board.
