1. Introduction

The UPort 1100 Series of USB-to-serial converters provide an easy way to add COM ports to your computer.

The UPort 1110 provides one RS-232 port, the UPort 1130 and UPort 1130I each provide one RS-422/RS-485

port, and the UPort 1150 and UPort 1150I each provide one RS-232/422/485 port. As a plug and play USB

device, the converters are perfect for mobile, instrumentation, and point-of sale applications.

The UPort 1100 series include 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 1100 Series Introduction

1-2

Overview

The UPort 1100 series is a part of Moxa’s UPort line of USB-to-serial converters. The UPort line provides a range

of easy-to-use solutions for adding COM ports through a PC’s USB port. Simply install the drivers, 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.

The UPort 1100 series provides single COM port expansion. The UPort 1110 adds one RS-232 port to your

computer, which is the same type of COM port that is built into most PC motherboards. The UPort 1130/1130I

adds one port that is configurable for RS-422, 2-wire RS-485, and 4-wire RS-485 modes. The UPort

1150/1150I adds one RS-232, RS-422, 2 wire RS-485, or 4 wire RS-485 port to your computer. All of these

models can operate at speeds of up to 12 Mbps, which is much faster than the current maximum serial transfer

rate. The converter is bus-powered, so no external power supply is required.

ARDC (Automatic Recovery Data Communication)

ARDC (Automatic Recovery Data Communication) makes it easier to recover data transmission, even if the

cable is accidentally unplugged. This means that you do 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 eliminates the need for reconfiguration, but also reduces the probability of data loss.

Adjustable Pull High/low, Terminator Resistors for the

RS-485 Port

In some critical environments, you may need to add termination resistors to prevent the reflection of serial

signals. When using termination resistors, it is important to set the pull high/low resistors correctly so that the

electrical signal is not corrupted. The UPort uses DIP switches to set the pull high/low resistor values for each

serial port.

To set the pull high/low resistors to 150 KΩ, make sure both of the assigned DIP switches are in the OFF

position.

To set the pull high/low resistors to 1 KΩ, make sure both of the assigned DIP switches are in the ON

position. This is the default setting.

Initial Driver Installation

The Documentation and Software CD contain the drivers for the converter. You may also download the drivers

at www.moxa.com

. The installation procedure is the same for all Windows operating systems.

Use Windows Explorer to locate the driver installation file, which will be Setup or Install. On the

Documentation and Software CD, this file will be located in the UPort 1100/Software folder, filed by

operating system. Double-click the Setup or Install file.

1. The Setup Wizard will open. Click Next to begin installing the driver.

2. Click Next to install the driver in the indicated folder, or use the drop-down folder list to locate a different

folder.

Hardware Installation

After installing the driver, plug the converter into any upstream USB port, such as a USB port on your computer.

Windows will automatically detect the converter and begin installing the driver. When the Windows finishes

installing the driver for the converter, it will then detect a new COM port, and will then install another driver for

the new COM port.

ATTENTION

For best results, we recommend that you install the dri

ver before plugging the converter into the USB port.

Please refer to the previous section on Initial Driver Installation for instructions.

Windows 98/ME and Windows 2000

The following instructions are for Windows 98 and Windows 2000 systems:

1. After plugging the converter into a USB port, the Found New Hardware window should open

automatically. The USB icon indicates that the USB port is being installed. No action is required.

2. Windows 98 users may skip to the next step. On Windows 2000 systems, a window will pop up cautioning

you that this software has not passed Windows logo testing. This is a standard warning, and Moxa has

thoroughly tested the driver for safe Windows operation. Please click Yes to proceed.

3. Windows will automatically detect and install the new serial port. No further action is required
