2.1 Understanding EDG-4508+ and EDG-4516+

EDG-4508+ and EDG-4516+ are advanced Ethernet data gateway units. They extend traditional COM ports of a PC to Ethernet access. Through Ethernet networking, users can control and monitor remote serial devices and equipment over LAN or WAN.

Since EDG-4508+ and EDG-4516+ are connected with the TCP/IP proto- col, you will have to know fundamental facts about Ethernet networking to get the server setup correctly.

To allow for easier configuration, we provide several system configura- tion methods such as Configuration Utility, Web Configuration and Con- sole mode Configuration. More details will be available in the following chapters.
