Moxa Technologies UPORT 1130 User Manual

UPort 1100 Series Installation and Configuration
2-16
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.
• 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.
• UPort 1150I: 1-port RS-232/422/485 USB-to-Serial Converter with isolation protection.
In this section, we provide four procedures to introduce the Moxa Linux Driver.
1. Installing the Linux Driver File
2. Loading/Unloading the Moxa Driver
3. Setting the Serial Parameters
