Chapter 7 Universal Serial Device Gateway

Advantech EDG-4508+/4516+ provides a mechanism that allows user to upgrade the firmware. After upgrading the firmware, EDG-4508+/4516+ will turn into universal serial device gateway and denominate "EDG- 4508+U/4516+U". EDG-4508+U/4516+U allows nearly any device to serial ports to connect to the Ethernet and share networks quickly. It provides a fast, simple and cost-effective way to bring the advantages of remote management and data accessibility to thousands of devices that cannot connect to the network.

EDG-4508+U/4516+U supports standard networking application programming interface (API) such as WinSock and Socket, therefore, your serial devices can be used in most popular operating systems with EDG-4508+U/4516+U. Moreover, EDG-4508+U/4516+U allows the serial device to communicate with other devices by peer-to-peer without any intermediate host PCs and software programming, which saves cost and effort.
