Introduction The Drivers are designed for the Multi-port series cards. It creates COM ports for each card in Windows 2000/XP/2003/2008/Vista/7/8. Users can use standard Win32 APIs (for example: CreateFile, CloseHandle, ReadFile, WriteFile...) to access the COM ports of the Multi-port series cards. 2. Plug & Play supported: The Driver supports PnP in the Windows 2000/XP/2003/2008/Vista and Windows 7/8.(32/64Bit). 3. Tool A. Driver : VxCard I. COM port mapping by COM-Selector: VXC card is equipped with a DIP switch to act as a Board ID and COM port number selector. If the Board ID is 0, the VxCard Driver defines the COM port number to a valid one on the system automatically. When the Board ID is not 0, the VxCard Driver uses the "Board ID" to be the first COM port number and uses the "Board ID +1" to be the second COM port number, and so on. The Max. COM port number is up to COM256. II. Utility The VxCard Utility shows all COM ports on the system, and let you to change the software FIFO size for each port. B. Driver : VXC-1x8 I. Utility - ComPortRemap: The utility shows all COM ports on the system, and change the com port number. C. Driver : PCIe-S1x8 I. Device Manager - Port Settings: The COM port mapping can be adjusted depending on the requirements of you. Note: 1. It's recommended don't use COM1 ~ COM4, since the COM1 and COM2 are usually reserved by systems, while the COM3 and COM4 may be used by other Plug&Play serial ports in the future. 2.
