Overview
Chapter 1 Overview
1.1 Introduction
This manual provides the necessary information to use EDG-4508+,
EDG-4516+ and the rear-wired versions of these. 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+ and 4516+ are part of the Ethernet Data Gateway (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.
EDG-4508+ and 4516+ provide 8 and 16 serial ports respectively, that
can be easily configured. To increase the reliability of systems, EDG4508+ and EDG-4516+ provide two significant functions:
• Auto-reconnection and IP access control.
• Support for transmission speeds up to 230 kbps (RS-485), meeting
today's demand for high-speed data exchanges.
1.2 Features
• Supports 8/16 channels (8 Channels for EDG-4508+, 16 Channels for
EDG-4516+)
• Supports RS-232/422/485
• 4 DI, 4 DO for alarm handling
• Redundant power supply (optional)
• Web-based configuration
• Auto-reconnection: automatic connection recovery to network
• LEDs for power status and all ports Tx/Rx monitoring
• Console mode configuration
• Supports front wiring access for EDG-4508+ and EDG-4516+, rear
wiring access for EDG-4508R+ and EDG-4516R+

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 protocol, 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 configuration methods such as Configuration Utility, Web Configuration and Console mode Configuration. More details will be available in the following
chapters.

2.3 Installation
2.3.1 Install/Uninstall Driver & Utility
In order to use a PC and an Ethernet network to control serial devices
connected to EDG-4508+/4516+, you must first have a host running Windows 98/NT/2000/XP. This type of application also requires the host to
have an Ethernet card and the TCP/IP protocol installed. The following
are the required steps for installing EDG-4508+/4516+.
1. Insert the Advantech industrial communication CD-ROM into the
drive (e.g. D:\) on the host PC. Change the host computer'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:\ EDG-4508(R)+_4516(R)+\COMPortUtility\SETUP.EXE, if your default CD-ROM drive is D: ).
3. Upon executing the setup program, the Welcome Dialog Box will
pop-up. Press the "Next" button to continue.
EDG-4508+/4516+ User Manual 16
4. Carefully read the Software License Agreement, and press "Next" to
continue.
5. The Setup program will specify a default installation path, C:\Program
Files\Advantech\EDG COMPort Utility.
17 Chapter 2
If a new destination path is necessary,
just click the Browse button to change
the path. After you have specified the
installation path, click the Next button.
6. In this step, you may select a specific program folder or just use the
default setting and press "Next".

3.1 Auto Search
EDG-4508+ and EDG-4516+ provides an easy-to-use configuration utility to configure your Ethernet Data Gateway Device through an Ethernet
connection. The utility provides an auto-search function to show your
device(s) by simply executing the configuration utility program from the
Start Menu as follows.
Start Menu --> All Program --> Advantech --> EDG COMPort
This EDG configuration utility will automatically search all the EDG
devices on the network and show them on the left side of the utility. From
here you can easily configure various parameters for TCP/IP configuration. (In this example, the system finds the Ethernet Data Gateway device
for ADAM-4570 & EDG-4516+ in a local network)
