What is the MOXA Port 5 Windows Driver?
The MOXA Port 5 Windows Driver is software provided by MOXA, a company specializing in industrial networking, automation, and communication solutions. This specific driver is typically used for MOXA serial device servers or serial-to-Ethernet converters that create virtual COM ports on your Windows computer. The "Port 5" likely refers to a virtual COM port (such as COM5) that is mapped to the physical serial port on a MOXA device, allowing software applications to communicate with hardware connected via serial interfaces (RS-232, RS-485, etc.) over a network.
MOXA products such as serial device servers (e.g., NPort series) allow you to connect serial devices (like sensors, industrial controllers, or modems) to a network, enabling remote management and communication. The driver creates the necessary COM ports for Windows applications to interface with these devices.
