Linux (32-bit/64-bit)

Ensure that you are logged into the machine with superuser (root)
privileges. Insert the Moxa driver CD-ROM into the CD-ROM drive.

If necessary, use the mkdir command to create a mount point for
the CD-ROM. The following command creates a mount point in the
directory /cdrom; you can mount the CD-ROM at any location in
the machine’s local file system.

mkdir /cdrom

The commands in the steps below assume the CD-ROM is mounted
at /cdrom. If you mount the CD-ROM at a different location, use
that location when issuing commands.

Mount the CD-ROM drive by entering the following command:

# mount -t iso9660 -o ro /dev/cdrom /cdrom

1. Execute the following commands from the Linux prompt:

#mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
#cd /
#mkdir moxa
#cd moxa
#cp /mnt/cdrom/<driver directory>/mxser.tgz .
#tar xvfz mxser.tgz
#cd mxser
#make clean; make install
#cd /moxa/mxser/driver
#./msmknod
#modprobe mxser

2. Use the Moxa diagnostic utility to verify the driver status:

#cd /moxa/mxser/utility/diag
#./msdiag

3. Use the Moxa terminal utility to test the TTY ports:

#cd /moxa/mxser/utility/term
#./msterm #./msterm
