Chapter 1 Overview
1.1 Introduction
This manual provides the necessary information to use EDG-4508(R)+
and EDG-4516(R)+. The Advantech Ethernet Data Gateway series (EDG
series) consists of fast and cost-effective data gateways between RS-232/
422/485 and Ethernet interfaces.
EDG-4508(R)+ and EDG-4516(R)+ are part of the Ethernet Data Gate-
way (EDG) family of multiple port modules. They provide reliable and
cost-effective network connections for serial devices, allowing users to
extend their limited COM ports without changing the architecture of their
existing application (s). EDG immediately upgrades users' existing device
to the Internet world and make it possible for your software to access
serial devices anywhere over a local LAN or the Internet.
To ensure the compatibility of network software that uses the standard
network API(BSD sockets or Winsock), EDG-4508(R)+ and EDG-
4516(R)+ also provideTCP/UDP control and TCP/UDP data mode. These
units upgrade your existing device for integration into the Internet world
and makes your serial devices behave just like networking devices.
EDG-4508(R)+ and EDG-4516(R)+ provide 8 and 16 serial ports respec-
tively, that can be easily configured. To increase the reliability of sys-
tems, EDG-4508(R)+ and EDG-4516(R)+ provide various significant
functions:
• Auto-reconnection and Host Idle
• IP access control
• Support for Baud rates up to 230 kbps, meeting today's demand for
high-speed data exchanges.
