Overview

UPort 1200/1400/1600 Series products are easy to install and use. After installing the drivers on your PC, 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.

UPort 1200/1400/1600 Series products are compliant with USB 1.1, and 2.0 specifications, and meet the 480 Mbps high-speed requirement of Hi-Speed USB 2.0. Using your computer's USB ports to connect serial devices reduces the total cost of ownership, investment in hardware, and long term management and integration costs.

The UPort 1400 series converters support both bus power and external power. The UPort 1250I, UPort 1600-8, and UPort 1600-16 converters support external power only. When using bus power, the UPort will get 500 mA through the laptop's or workstation's USB port. When an external power adaptor or power cord is used, the UPort will only get 100 mA through the laptop's or workstation's USB port.

ADDC™ (Automatic Data Direction Control) for RS-485

ADDC ^™ (Automatic Data Direction Control) makes it easier to manage 2-wire RS-485 half-duplex connections, eliminating the need for software interference. This means that it is not necessary to write extra code for Windows applications to control the half-duplex protocol. ADDC ^™ intelligence is built into the UPort 1200/1400/1600 USB-to-serial converters that support the RS-485 serial interface.

ARDC (Automatic Recovery Data Communication)

ARDC (Automatic Recovery Data Communication) makes it easier to auto recover data transmission and even the cable from getting unplugged accidentally. This means the user does 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 reduces reconfiguration time, but also the probability of data loss.

Hardware Description

We recommend installing the driver before connecting the UPort to your PC. Some UPort models require an external power adaptor or cord, and other models support both external and bus power.

UPort 1	250 UPort 1250	I UPort 1400	UPort 1600-8	UPort 1600-16
Bus Power	√	---	√	---	---
External Power (adaptor)	--- √ √	√			---
External Power (cord)	---	---	---	---

√

If you want to use bus power with the UPort 1410/1450, set the DIP switch to bus when you connect the USB cable between the host PC and the UPort 1410/1450. The UPort 1450I requires external power.

Using an External Power Source

The UPort 1250I, UPort 1450/1450I, and UPort 1600-8 come with a power adaptor for connecting to an external AC power source. UPort 1410 users can purchase a power adaptor separately. The UPort 1600-16 comes with a power cord as a standard accessory.

If the power is properly supplied, the Active LED will glow a solid green.

Buzzer (UPort 1400 and 1600 only)

The UPort 1400 and UPort 1600 will sound the built-in buzzer twice when the power is turned on. You will also hear the buzzer when using the Locate function from the driver property page of the UPort utility.

Connecting the Hardware

Please install the driver before connecting the UPort series to your PC's USB port. See the previous section for details.

Connecting to a Serial Device

Use the proper serial cables to connect your serial devices to the UPort's serial ports, which support the RS-232 and/or RS-422/485 interface. The UPort's serial ports use DB9 male connector with standard pin assignment. Please see Chapter 3 for detail pin assignment.

Installing the Driver for the Converter

NOTE

The operating system will automatically detect the UPort when you plug it into one of your computer's USB ports. If you have installed the latest UPort driver, the UPort and the UPort's serial port will be installed automatically. If the UPort and the serial ports are not installed automatically, follow the instructions below.

Case 1: The UPort Driver is Certified

If the UPort driver that you installed has been certified by Microsoft, the UPort and the UPort's serial ports will be installed automatically when you plug the UPort into your computer's USB port.

Case 2: The UPort Driver is NOT Certified

If the UPort driver that you installed has not been certified by Microsoft, then plugging the driver into your computer's USB port will activate the UPort installation program. The first part of the installation procedure installs the software for the UPort itself (the second part of the procedure installs the serial ports).

1. After connecting the USB cable from the UPort to the host PC, Windows XP will automatically detect the new UPort, and the Found New Hardware balloon will open in the bottom right corner of the Windows desktop.

Auto Enumerating COM Number

If the “Auto Enumerating COM Number” checkbox is checked, COM numbers will be assigned automatically and in sequence to the ports. E.g., COM3 to Port 1, COM4 to Port 2, etc.

If you do not enable this check box, only the first COM Number will be changed to new COM number list in the drop-down list box. Enable this function if you want to configure several ports with sequential numbers.

Friendly Name

Setting Factory Default Necessity

1 to 20 characters

(E.g., UPort 1610-8)

Moxa UPort COM Optional

Use the “Friendly name” to allow easy identification of the serial devices that are connected to the UPort’s serial ports.

UART FIFO

Setting Factory Default Necessity

Enable/Disable

Enable

Required

The UPort's serial ports provide a 128-byte FIFO both in the Tx and Rx directions. Disable UART FIFO setting when your serial device does not have a FIFO to prevent data loss during communication. For a slow serial device, we recommend you disable FIFO to improve the latency. If you want to use XON/XOFF flow control, we recommend disabling UART FIFO.

Tx Mode

Setting Factory Default Necessity

Hi-Performance, Classical Hi-Performance Required

To improve the write performance, you can select Hi-Performance mode. Under classical mode, the driver will not notify the user's program that Tx is completed until all Tx data has been sent out from the UPort; this mode will cause lower throughput. If you want to ensure that all data is sent out before further processing, classical mode is recommended. Classical mode is the same as the COM Port behavior: The WriteFile() call will only finish when all queued data are sent out.

Fast Flush

Setting Factory Default Necessity
Enable/Disable	Enable	Required

1. For some applications, the user's program will use the Win32 PurgeComm() function before it reads or writes data. With our design, after the program uses this PurgeComm() function, the UPort driver will keep querying the UPort's firmware several times to make sure that no data is queued in the UPort's firmware buffer, rather than just flushing the local buffer. This kind of design is used because of some special considerations. However, it might take more time (about several hundred milliseconds) than a native COM1, because it needs to work over Ethernet. This is why the native COM ports on the motherboard can work fast with this function call, but the UPort requires much more time.
2. To begin with, make sure there are some PurgeComm() functions being used in your application program. In this kind of situation, you might find that your UPort exhibits a much poorer operation performance than when using the native COM1 port. Once you have enabled the Fast Flush function, you can check to see if there has been an improvement in performance.
3. By default, the optional Fast Flush function is enabled, which allows the UPort driver to work faster when using the PurgeComm() function.
4. Win32 function PurgeComm() with PURGE_TXCLEAR will clear all queued Tx data. But for some applications, it will call this function for each transaction and result in low throughput. To avoid this, you can enable this function. The driver will only clear the data queued in the local buffer; it will not send firmware through the USB port to clear the data queued in the firmware buffer.

Advanced Settings

Serial transmission applications use names such as COM3 and COM4 to identify COM ports. Unfortunately, most USB-to-serial products are unable to use fixed COM names on the host PC. This means the names of the COM ports change when the USB-to-serial device is plugged into a different USB port, either on the same or a different PC, forcing the user to reconfigure the COM names manually from within the application. Moxa's UPort™ 1200/1400/1600 USB-to-serial converters have two advanced features that allow them to use fixed COM names when the user enables the COM port.

With Moxa's COM Preserver™ function or fixed-base COM mode, the COM names remain on the UPort™ device. Moreover, the COM Preserver™ function can even create the same COM port names on a different host PC. With this feature, you do not need to modify application programs, or rebuild the entire project every time you install a new operating system or upgrade the computer. Don't worry about moving the UPort™ from one USB hub to another, or even from one computer to another.

COM Preserver - Driver Setting Management

UPort provides one special function to help you manage the UPort settings. In the general case, you need write down all the settings including COM number to prevent them from being lost. In some applications, to clone multiple systems you also need to worry about how to clone the COM Port settings. Using the UPort COM Preserver function, you just need to save all the settings into UPort device directly—just like a USB Mass Storage device. You do not need to record it using additional paper or disk. If your host crashes, you can just install the driver into new host, plug the original UPort and click the Restore button to restore all settings back very quickly.

NOTE

If you want to use these settings in another PC, be sure the PC has a free COM port available. Otherwise, the new settings will copy over the settings of a COM port that is already in use.

Save

Fixed-base COM

Moxa's UPort 1200/1400/1600 Series Utility gives users a convenient tool for configuring and maintaining products from the UPort series. In this section, we introduce the “Fixed-base COM Mode” function that enables user to set COM names on the host PC. We use the UPort 1250 as an example.

Enable Fixed-base COM Mode

Moxa's UPort 1200/1400/1600 series provides a unique fixed-base COM function that allows users to set a specific initial 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. The default setting is disabling Fixed-base COM Mode. To use "Fixed-base COM Mode," be sure to check the "Enable Fixed-base COM Mode" check box.

UPort 1200/1400/1600 Series Configuration Tool Devices Configuration Enable Fixed-base COM Mode Select a beginning COM number COM3 View Settings Help OK Cancel

“Fixed-base COM Mode” allows users to specify which COM number will be assigned first. In addition, COM numbers are assigned sequentially, and are not tied to specific UPort converters. For example, assume that you have set COM10 as the first COM number that will be assigned. If UPort D1 is plugged into your computer first, your computer will assign COM10 and COM11 to the UPort’s serial ports. When UPort D2 is plugged in, the computer will assign COM numbers COM12 and COM13.

graph TD
    A["Laptop"] --> B["UPort D1 Plug in first"]
    A --> C["UPort D2"]
    B --> D["COM10-COM11"]
    B --> E["COM12-COM13"]

If both UPorts are unplugged from the computer, and then UPort D2 is plugged back in, the computer will now assign COM10 and COM11 to the UPort's serial ports. When UPort D1 is plugged back in, COM numbers COM12 and COM13 will be assigned the UPort's serial ports.

graph TD
    A["Laptop"] --> B["UPort D1"]
    A --> C["UPort D2 Plug in first"]
    B --> D["COM12-COM13"]
    C --> E["COM10-COM11"]

When "Fixed-base COM Mode" is enabled for the first time, all COM port numbers and serial port parameters will be reset to their default values. You can then set the COM numbers and configuration parameters to the values needed for your application.

For example, let's assume that before you enable "Fixed-base COM Mode" you set the parameters of the UPort 1250 as follows:

All Ports Configuration Port COM No. UART FIFO Tx Mode Fast Flush Interface Friendly Name 1 COM3 Disable Classical Enable RS-232 POS Device 2 COM4 Enable Hi-Performance Enable RS-485 4W Meter OK

If you enable "Fixed-base COM Mode," all parameters will be reset to their default values:

All Ports Configuration Port COM No. UART FIFO Tx Mode Fast Flush Interface Friendly Name 1 COM10 Enable Hi-Performance Enable RS-232 MOXA UPort COM 2 COM11 Enable Hi-Performance Enable RS-232 MOXA UPort COM OK

At this point you can set serial parameters to the values needed for your application.

All Ports Configuration Port COM No. UART FIFO Tx Mode Fast Flush Interface Friendly Name 1 COM10 Enable Hi-Performance Enable RS-232 POS Device 2 2 COM11 Enable Classical Enable RS-485 2W Meter 2 OK

If you subsequently disable "Fixed-base COM Mode," all parameters will be restored to the original settings:

All Ports Configuration Port COM No. UART FIFO Tx Mode Fast Flush Interface Friendly Name 1 COM3 Disable Classical Enable RS-232 POS Device 2 COM4 Enable Hi-Performance Enable RS-485 4W Meter OK

Installing the Linux Driver

Linux Kernel 2.6.x

The Linux driver provided with the UPort 1200/1400/1600 maps Linux host ttyMXUSBxx 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 ttyMXUSBxx port. These drivers have been designed and tested for the majority of Linux distributions, including Linux kernel version 2.6.x. Please check Moxa's website (http://www.moxa.com) for the latest Linux kernel support.

The Linux drivers support the following models:

2-port UPort Models

• UPort 1250: 2-port RS-232/422/485 USB-to-serial converter
- UPort 1250I: 2-port RS-232/422/485 USB-to-serial converter with isolation

4-port UPort Models

• UPort 1410: 4-port RS-232 USB-to-serial converter
• UPort 1450: 4-port RS-232/422/485 USB-to-serial converter
- UPort 1450I: 4-port RS-232/422/485 USB-to-serial converter with isolation

8-port UPort Models

• UPort 1610-8: 8-port RS-232 USB-to-serial converter
• UPort 1650-8: 8-port RS-232/422/485 USB-to-serial converter

16-port UPort Models

Module Driver Configuration

We cover the following topics in this section:

▶ Building the Moxa Driver
➢ Installing the Moxa Driver

Building the Moxa Driver

Before using the Moxa driver, you will need to compile all of the source code. This only needs to be done once, unless you modify the source code. If the source code is modified, then you will need to re-compile it.

To compile the source code, change to the /moxa/mxuport directory, and then run the ls (list) command to check if the Makefile file is in the directory. Next, run the "make" command as follows:

# make

Installing the Moxa Driver

To install the Moxa driver, change to the /moxa/mxuport directory, and then run the ls (list) command to check if the Makefile file is in the directory. Next, run the “make install” command as follows:

# make install

The driver files “mxuport.ko” and “mxusbserial.ko” will be compiled and copied to system directories.

Loading the Moxa Driver

To load the Moxa driver, change to the /moxa/mxuport directory, and then run the ls (list) command to check if the Makefile file is in the directory. Next, run the "modprobe mxuport" command as follows:

# modprobe mxuport

After loading the Moxa driver, run the following command to check the Moxa serial port

# ls /dev/ttyMXUSB*

NOTE: The serial COM port will be ttyMXUSB[nnn], nnn = 0\~255.

For example,ttyMXUSB0,ttyMXUSB1 ...

Unloading the Moxa driver

To unload the Moxa driver, change to the /moxa/mxuport directory, and then run the ls (list) command to check if the Makefile file is in the directory. Next, run the two "rmmod" commands as follows:

# rmmod mxuport

rmmod mxusbserial

Uninstalling the Moxa driver

To uninstall the Moxa driver, change to the /moxa/mxuport directory, and then run the ls (list) command to check if the Makefile file is in the directory. Next, run the two “make remove” command as follows:

# make remove

Setting the Serial Parameters

After installing the Moxa Linux Driver, you will be able to configure parameters.

1. Serial Interface:

The UPort 1250/1250I/1450/1450I/1650-8/1650-16 supports four interfaces: RS-232, RS-485 2W, RS-485 4W, RS-422. If you want to switch to a different interface, execute the setserial command to set the port's interface. The supported parameters are listed below.

Parameter Value Interface
0x0 RS-232
0x1 RS-485 2W
0x2 RS-422
0x3 RS-485 4W

Example:

(i) The following command sets the interface of "/dev/ttyMXUSB0" to RS-422: # setserial /dev/ttyMXUSB0 port 0x2
(ii) Use the following command to look up the serial settings of the current port: # setserial -g /dev/ttyMXUSB0

2. Serial Baudrate:

spd_hi Use 57.6 KB when the application requests 38.4 KB.

spd_vhi Use 115.2 KB when the application requests 38.4 KB.

spd_shi Use 230 KB when the application requests 38.4 KB.

spd_warp Use 460 KB when the application requests 38.4 KB.

spd_normal Use 38.4 KB when the application requests 38.4 KB.

Example:

# setserial /dev/ttyMXUSB0 spd_vhi

Troubleshooting

1. Compile error

Building a Moxa driver requires kernel header files. If you get a compile error, run rpm -qa | grep kernel to check if the kernel-source package is installed properly. If not, get the kernel-source irpm package and run rpm -ivh to install it. You also need to make sure the build tool is ready by including make/gcc/lib. See Linux related documents for more information.

2. No such file or directory

This problem occurs when a device node is not generated automatically when loading the driver. It usually happens with previous kernel versions, such as versions 2.6.0 to 2.6.5. Therefore, just execute the make node script “upmknod” to generate the device node.

The UPort 1250/1250I have 2 RS-232/422/485 ports, the UPort 1410 has 4 RS-232 ports, the UPort 1450/1450I have 4 RS-232/422/485 ports, the UPort 1610-8/1610-16 have 8 or 16 RS-232 ports, and the UPort 1650-8/1650-16 has 8/16 RS-232/422/485 ports.
