+1. Introduction
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+ The Smartio/Industio/UPCI family Linux driver supports following multiport
+ boards:
+
+ - 2 ports multiport board
+ CP-102U, CP-102UL, CP-102UF
+ CP-132U-I, CP-132UL,
+ CP-132, CP-132I, CP132S, CP-132IS,
+ (CP-102, CP-102S)
+
+ - 4 ports multiport board
+ CP-104EL,
+ CP-104UL, CP-104JU,
+ CP-134U, CP-134U-I,
+ C104H/PCI, C104HS/PCI,
+ CP-114, CP-114I, CP-114S, CP-114IS, CP-114UL,
+ (C114HI, CT-114I),
+ POS-104UL,
+ CB-114,
+ CB-134I
+
+ - 8 ports multiport board
+ CP-118EL, CP-168EL,
+ CP-118U, CP-168U,
+ C168H/PCI,
+ CB-108
+
+ If a compatibility problem occurs, please contact Moxa at
+ support@moxa.com.tw.
+
+ In addition to device driver, useful utilities are also provided in this
+ version. They are:
+
+ - msdiag
+ Diagnostic program for displaying installed Moxa
+ Smartio/Industio boards.
+ - msmon
+ Monitor program to observe data count and line status signals.
+ - msterm A simple terminal program which is useful in testing serial
+ ports.
+
+ All the drivers and utilities are published in form of source code under
+ GNU General Public License in this version. Please refer to GNU General
+ Public License announcement in each source code file for more detail.
+
+ In Moxa's Web sites, you may always find the latest driver at
+ https://www.moxa.com/.
+
+ This version of driver can be installed as a Loadable Module (Module driver)
+ or built-in into kernel (Static driver). Before you install the driver,
+ please refer to hardware installation procedure in the User's Manual.
+
+ We assume the user should be familiar with following documents:
+
+ - Serial-HOWTO
+ - Kernel-HOWTO
+
+2. System Requirement
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+ - Maximum 4 boards can be installed in combination
+
+3. Installation
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+3.1 Hardware installation
+=========================
+
+PCI/UPCI board
+--------------
+
+ You may need to adjust IRQ usage in BIOS to avoid IRQ conflict with other
+ ISA devices. Please refer to hardware installation procedure in User's
+ Manual in advance.
+
+PCI IRQ Sharing
+---------------
+
+ Each port within the same multiport board shares the same IRQ. Up to
+ 4 Moxa Smartio/Industio PCI Family multiport boards can be installed
+ together on one system and they can share the same IRQ.
+
+
+
+3.2 Device naming convention
+============================
+
+ The device node is named "ttyMxx".
+
+Device naming when more than 2 boards installed
+-----------------------------------------------
+
+ Naming convention for each Smartio/Industio multiport board is
+ pre-defined as below.
+
+ ============ ===============
+ Board Num. Device node
+ 1st board ttyM0 - ttyM7
+ 2nd board ttyM8 - ttyM15
+ 3rd board ttyM16 - ttyM23
+ 4th board ttyM24 - ttyM31
+ ============ ===============
+
+4. Utilities
+^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+ There are 3 utilities contained in this driver. They are msdiag, msmon and
+ msterm. These 3 utilities are released in form of source code. They should
+ be compiled into executable file and copied into /usr/bin.
+
+msdiag - Diagnostic
+===================
+
+ This utility provides the function to display what Moxa Smartio/Industio
+ board was found by the driver in the system.
+
+msmon - Port Monitoring
+=======================
+
+ This utility gives the user a quick view about all the MOXA ports'
+ activities. One can easily learn each port's total received/transmitted
+ (Rx/Tx) character count since the time when the monitoring is started.
+
+ Rx/Tx throughputs per second are also reported in interval basis (e.g.
+ the last 5 seconds) and in average basis (since the time the monitoring
+ is started). You can reset all ports' count by <HOME> key. <+> <->
+ (plus/minus) keys to change the displaying time interval. Press <ENTER>
+ on the port, that cursor stay, to view the port's communication
+ parameters, signal status, and input/output queue.
+
+msterm - Terminal Emulation
+===========================
+
+ This utility provides data sending and receiving ability of all tty ports,
+ especially for MOXA ports. It is quite useful for testing simple
+ application, for example, sending AT command to a modem connected to the
+ port or used as a terminal for login purpose. Note that this is only a
+ dumb terminal emulation without handling full screen operation.
+
+5. Setserial
+^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+ Supported Setserial parameters are listed as below.
+
+ ============== =============================================================
+ uart set UART type(16450 --> disable FIFO, 16550A --> enable FIFO)
+ close_delay set the amount of time (in 1/100 of a second) that DTR
+ should be kept low while being closed.
+ closing_wait set the amount of time (in 1/100 of a second) that the
+ serial port should wait for data to be drained while
+ being closed, before the receiver is disabled.
+ spd_hi Use 57.6kb when the application requests 38.4kb.
+ spd_vhi Use 115.2kb when the application requests 38.4kb.
+ spd_shi Use 230.4kb when the application requests 38.4kb.
+ spd_warp Use 460.8kb when the application requests 38.4kb.
+ spd_normal Use 38.4kb when the application requests 38.4kb.
+ spd_cust Use the custom divisor to set the speed when the
+ application requests 38.4kb.
+ divisor This option sets the custom division.
+ baud_base This option sets the base baud rate.
+ ============== =============================================================
+
+6. Troubleshooting
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+ The boot time error messages and solutions are stated as clearly as
+ possible. If all the possible solutions fail, please contact our technical
+ support team to get more help.
+
+
+ Error msg:
+ More than 4 Moxa Smartio/Industio family boards found. Fifth board
+ and after are ignored.
+
+ Solution:
+ To avoid this problem, please unplug fifth and after board, because Moxa
+ driver supports up to 4 boards.
