Standard COM Driver Software COM Setup Disk (Bundled)

The purpose of this software is to allow the CONTEC serial

communication boards to be used under Windows or Linux in

the same way as the standard COM ports on the PC. By

installing additional boards, you can use COM ports in the

range COM1 - COM256.

The boards can be used for all types of serial communications

such as for remote access service (RAS) and uninterruptible

power supply (UPS) applications.

Under Windows, the serial ports can be accessed using the

standard Win32 API communication routines (CreateFile( ),

WriteFile( ), ReadFile( ), and SetCommState( ), etc.) The

serial ports are also compatible with the Visual Basic

communication control (MSComm). Supports the

communication class of .NET Framework 2.0 (SerialPort class).

Under Linux, the serial ports are compatible with the operating

system's standard tty driver. The standard routines including

open( ), close( ), read( ), write( ) are supported.

< Operating environment >

OS

Windows 7, Vista, XP, NT, Me, 98, Linux etc.

You can download the updated version from the CONTEC's

Web site (http://www.contec.com/comdrv/). For more details on

the supported OS, applicable language and new information,

please visit the CONTEC's Web site.

CAUTION

The maximum number of COM ports able to be used

depends on the configuration of your OS.

Driver library API-PAC(W32) (Available for downloading

(free of charge) from the CONTEC web site.)

API-PAC(W32) is the library software that provides the

commands for CONTEC hardware products in the form of

Windows standard Win32 API functions (DLL). It makes it

easy to create high-speed application software taking

advantage of the CONTEC hardware using various

programming languages that support Win32 API functions,

such as Visual Basic and Visual C/C++.

It can also be used by the installed diagnosis program to check

hardware operations.

CONTEC provides download services (at

http://www.contec.com/apipac/) to supply the updated drivers

and differential files.

For details, visit the CONTEC’s Web site.

< Operating environment >

OS

Windows Vista, XP, Server 2003 etc.

Adaptation language Visual C/C++, Visual Basic, Delphi,

Builder, etc.

Others

Each piece of library software requires

50 megabytes of free hard disk space.

CAUTION

This library provides local routines that are specific to

CONTEC (SioOpen( ), SioWrite( ), SioRead( ), SioStatus( ),

etc.). These are not compatible with the standard Win32 API

communication routines (CreateFile( ) and WriteFile( ), etc.).
