UPort 1100 Series Introduction

Overview
The UPort 1100 series is part of Moxa’s UPort line of USB-to-serial converters. The UPort line provides a range
of easy-to-use solutions for adding COM ports through a PC’s USB port. Simply install the drivers, connect the
UPort to your computer, plug in your serial devices, and you’re ready to go. Programming is not required, and
you do not need to worry about IRQs, configuring a board, power requirements, or connection schemes.

The UPort 1100 series provides single COM port expansion. The UPort 1110 adds one RS-232 port to your
computer, which is the same type of COM port that is built into most PC motherboards. The UPort 1130/1130I
adds one port that is configurable for RS-422, 2-wire RS-485, and 4-wire RS-485 modes. The UPort
1150/1150I adds one RS-232, RS-422, 2 wire RS-485, or 4 wire RS-485 port to your computer. All of these
models can operate at speeds of up to 12 Mbps, which are much faster than the current maximum serial
transfer rate. The converter is bus-powered, so no external power supply is required.

ARDC (Automatic Recovery Data Communication)

ARDC (Automatic Recovery Data Communication) makes it easier to recover data transmission, even if the
cable is accidentally unplugged. This means that you do not need to worry about reconfiguring complex
settings to ensure smooth data transmission. If the USB cable is accidentally unplugged, simply plug it back
into the same port, and the converter will automatically reconnect with the host and continue to transfer data.
This feature not only eliminates the need for reconfiguration, but it also reduces the probability of data loss.

Adjustable Pull High/Low, Terminator Resistors for the

RS-485 Port
In some critical environments, you may need to add termination resistors to prevent the reflection of serial
signals. When using termination resistors, it is important to set the pull high/low resistors correctly so that the
electrical signal is not corrupted. The UPort uses DIP switches to set the pull high/low resistor values for each
serial port.

To set the pull high/low resistors to 150 kΩ, make sure both of the assigned DIP switches are in the OFF
position.

To set the pull high/low resistors to 1 kΩ, make sure both of the assigned DIP switches are in the ON
position. This is the default setting.

Configuring the COM Port

After the driver and hardware have been successfully installed, the new COM port will have a COM number and
can be accessed and controlled just like your PC’s built-in COM ports. If you need to change the baudrate, parity,
or other COM port settings, you may use your serial communication application to make those changes. You
may also go to Device Manager and right-click the MOXA USB Serial Port, which will be listed under Ports
along with your PC’s built-in COM ports. In the context menu that pops up, you may select Properties in order
to modify the COM port settings.

2-10
UPort 1100 Series Installation and Configuration

Configuring the Converter

If you need to change the COM number that the converter assigns to the COM port, or adjust other advanced
settings, you may go to Device Manager and right-click the UPort converter, which will be listed under
Multi-port serial adapters. In the context menu that pops up, you may select Properties in order to modify
the COM port settings.

In the Port Configuration tab, you will see the new COM port listed. Click Port Setting to modify the COM
number and other parameters.

2-11
UPort 1100 Series Installation and Configuration

ATTENTION
Before modifying these settings, make sure that you have closed any applications that may be accessing the
COM port, such as HyperTerminal.

You may change the Port Number and enable or disable the Fast Flush function. For the UPort 1130/1130I, you
may also select between RS-422, 2-wire RS-485 and 4-wire RS-485 modes. Please note that Auto
Enumerating COM Number and Set the change to all ports are not available for this model of UPort.

* The UPort 1100 only supports RS-232. For this reason, when using the UPort 1100, the Interface drop-down
box will be inactive.

*The UPort 1150/1150I support RS-232, RS-422, 2-wire RS-485, and 4-wire RS-485. The default setting is
RS-232.

The Fast Flush function is specifically designed to handle Win32 PurgeComm() function calls and is enabled by
default. When Fast Flush is enabled, the driver will automatically clear the local buffer when it receives a
PurgeComm() command. When Fast Flush is disabled, the driver will repeatedly query the converter until it
verifies that there is no more data in the buffer. Disabling this function can cause lower throughput for
applications that use PurgeComm() heavily.

UPort 1100 Series Installation and Configuration

Removing the Converter

The converter is a plug-and play-device. No special procedures are required to remove the converter; you may
simply pull the converter out of the USB port. You should verify that no data is being transmitted before
removing the converter.

Removing the converter does not remove the drivers. The drivers remain in place so that the converter can be
automatically detected and installed if it is plugged back into the USB port.

The converter can also be uninstalled through the Device Manager, the same as other Windows devices.
Right-click the converter, which will be found under Multi-port serial adaptors; then, select Uninstall from
the context menu.

UPort 1100 Series Installation and Configuration

Advanced UPort 1100 Driver Functions

The utilities of Moxa’s UPort 1100 Series give users a convenient tool for configuring and maintaining UPort
series products. In this section, we introduce the “Fixed-base COM Mode” function that enables users to set
COM names on the host PC.

Enable Fixed-base COM Mode

Moxa’s UPort 1100 series provides the unique Fixed-base COM function that allows users to set a specific
beginning COM port number. Regardless of which UPort is plugged into the host, the COM port numbers for the
UPort’s serial ports will be numbered sequentially—starting with the initial COM port number.

To use “Fixed-base COM Mode,” be sure to check the “Enable Fixed-base COM Mode” check box. Note the
default setting for “Fixed-base COM Mode” is set at disable.

The COM numbers are assigned sequentially and are not tied to a specific UPort device or USB port number. For
example, let’s assume that you’ve set COM1 as the first COM number that will be assigned. If a UPort 1150 is
plugged into your computer’s USB port 1, your computer assigns COM1 to the UPort’s serial port. When the
UPort 1150 is plugged into USB port 2, the computer still assigns COM1 to the UPort’s serial port.

When “Fixed-base COM Mode” is enabled for the first time, all the COM port numbers and serial port
parameters will reset to their default values. You can then set the COM numbers and configuration parameters
to the values needed for your application(s). Note: If you subsequently disable “Fixed-base COM Mode,” all the
parameters will be restored to their original settings.

Install Linux Driver

Linux Kernel 2.4.20 and above

The Linux driver for the Moxa UPort 1000 Series converters will map Linux host ttyUSBxx ports to UPort device
ports. Once the mapping has been set up, Linux users and applications can connect to a device port as if it were
a ttyUSBxx port. These drivers have been designed and tested for the majority of Linux distributions, including
Linux kernel version 2.4.20 and above. Please check Moxa’s website (http://www.moxa.com) for the latest
Linux kernel support.

The Linux drivers support the following models:

• UPort 1110: 1-port RS-232 USB-to-Serial Converter.

Linux Kernel 2.6.x

The Linux driver provided with the UPort 1100 maps Linux host ttyUSBxx ports to UPort device ports. Once the
mapping has been set up, Linux users and applications can connect to a device port as if it were a ttyUSBxx port.
These drivers have been designed and tested for the majority of Linux distributions, including Linux kernel
version 2.6.x and higher versions. Please check Moxa’s website (http://www.moxa.com. ) for the latest Linux
kernel support.

The Linux drivers support the following models:

• UPort 1110: 1-port RS-232 USB-to-Serial Converter.

• UPort 1130: 1-port RS-422/485 USB-to-Serial Converter.
• UPort 1130I: 1-port RS-422/485 USB-to-Serial Converter with isolation Protection.
• UPort 1150: 1-port RS-232/422/485 USB-to-Serial Converter.

Installing the Windows CE Driver

In this section, the driver installation procedures for installing Windows CE 5.0 and Windows CE 6.0 driver are
described. Both WinCE 5.0 and WinCE 6.0 require the installation of WinCE 6.0 platform builder. In addition,
you will also need to install Visual Studio 2005 if you are using WinCE 6.0. WinCE 6.0 platform builder has all
the necessary tools to help you to design, create, build, test, and debug a Windows CE. WinCE 6.0 platform
Builder, together with Visual Studio 2005, provides a workspace where you can work on OS designs and
projects to build your own embedded system.

With WinCE 6.0, you need to install Visual Studio 2005 & WinCE 6.0 Builder first. When installing Visual Studio
2005, you can select the language with .NET Framework SDK or use the “default.”

After you’ve installed VS 2005; run WinCE 6.0 Builder “setup.exe” to install and download the files. You need
to select “x86” for the WinCE 6.0 operating system. Note that this process will take a couple of hours as the
folder size is around 3GB.

The Win CE drivers support the following models:

UPort 1110: 1-port RS-232 USB-to-Serial Converter.

UPort 1130: 1-port RS-422/485 USB-to-Serial Converter.
UPort 1150: 1-port RS-232/422/485 USB-to-Serial Converter.
UPort 1150I: 1-port RS-232/422/485 USB-to-Serial Converter with isolation protection.
UPort 1130I: 1-port RS-422/485 USB-to-serial converter with isolation protection.

Follow “Installing Visual Studio 2005” to install the UPort 1100 Series WinCE 6.0 driver.
