3.1 Driver and Utility Installation

In order to use a PC via an Ethernet network to control serial devices connected to the ADAM-4570/ADAM-4571/EDG- 4504, you must first have a host running Windows 95/98/ME/ NT/2000/XP. This type of application also requires the host to have an Ethernet card and TCP/IP protocol installed. Following are the installation instructions to set up the ADAM-4570/ ADAM-4571/EDG-4504.

1.Insert the Advantech industrial communication CD-ROM into the drive (e.g. D:\) on the host PC. Change the host comput- er’s default drive from C: to D:

2.Use your Windows Explorer or the Windows Run command to execute the Setup program (the path for the Setup program on the CD-ROM should be D:\ADAM4570\utility&driver\ portmaputility1.01\setup.exe, if your default floppy drive is D:).

3.The Setup program will specify a default installation path, C:\Program Files\Advantech\EDG COMport\1, 2 and 4 ports Mapping utility. If a new destination path is necessary, just click the Browse button to change to another path. After you have specified the installation path, click the Next button.

4.Use your Windows Explorer or the Windows Run command to execute the Setup program.the path for the Setup program on the CD-ROM should be D:\ADAM-4570\utility&driver\ configutility1.01\setup.exe, if your default floppy drive is D:). Use the same way to execute the Setup program. The default path is C:\Program Files\Advantech\EDG COMport\1, 2 and 4 Configuration utility.

5.After setup has copied all program files to your computer, click the Finish button to finish the installation.
