Before plugging the adaptor into your computer’s USB port, we
recommend installing the driver first. Please refer to Section 3
for driver installation procedures.
The UPort 1100 series is part of Moxa’s UPort Line of USB-to-Serial
adaptors. The UPort product line provides a wide range of easy-to-use
solutions for adding Windows COM ports and Linux tty ports through a
PC’s USB port. The UPort 1100 series includes the following models:
After the driver is installed, the adaptor can be plugged into any
upstream type A USB port, either on a PC host or on an upstream hub.
The adaptor is hot-pluggable, so there is no need to power down your
computer prior to installation. The Found New Hardware wizard will
automatically locate the appropriate drivers, and various windows will
appear as the adaptor is being installed.
After the Found New Hardware wizard finishes installing the adaptor,
the Windows Device Manager may be used to modify the settings for
the new COM port. The new COM port will be listed under Ports (COM &
LPT) and the new adapters will be listed under Multi-port serial
adapters. For more information about port configuration, please refer to
the UPort 1100 series user manual.

Installing the Hardware
1. 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).
Plug the adaptor into any upstream USB port (e.g., a USB port on
your computer). Windows are done with hardware installation at
this point and may continue on to port configuration. Windows will
auto-detect the UPort cable and show Found New Hardware in
the System Tray.
2. The following window will appear. Select No, not this item click
Next.
3. Select Install the software automatically (Recommended),
and then click Next to proceed.

Installing the Win CE 5.0/6.0 Driver
Moxa provides two installation procedures that can be used to install
the Windows CE 5.0/6.0 driver: by “CAB file” and with the “installation
package.” In this document, we only cover the CAB file installation. If
you need to use package to install the WinCE driver, please refer to the
user’s manual.
Installation with a CAB File
Step 1: Install Microsoft ActiveSync on the source PC. Before running
ActiveSync on the source PC, use an RS-232 null modem cable to
connect the WinCE device (CEPC) to the PC.
Step 2: Go to the “Command Prompt” on the WinCE device and
execute the repllog command. A new partnership window will appear.
Select “No” and then click on “Next.” You will see “Connected” in
ActiveSync.
Step 3: Click on the “Explore” button in the ActiveSync window, and
then copy the
UP1100_COM_v1.0_Setup.CAB (For WinCE 6.0) or
UP1100_COM_v1.1_Setup.CAB (For WinCE 5.0)
file to the Mobile/Target Device.
Step 4: Double click on the CAB file to start installing the UPort 1100
series WinCE driver.

After installing the driver, plug the UPort 1100 series device into the
USB port of the WinCE Device. The driver will be loaded automatically.
At this point, the UPort 1100 series is ready to use.
