3.1 Serial Device Server Configuration Utility Overview
The ADAM-4570 series provides an easy-to-use configuration utility to
configure your serial device server through an Ethernet connection. For
secure administration, it can also restrict the access rights for configura-
tion to only one host PC to enhance network security. With this secure
function enabled, other PCs will not have permission for configuration.
After the installation program on the Advantech IEDG Series Driver
Utility CD-ROM is finished, the serial device servers will be ready for
use and configure.
Advantech Serial Device Server Configuration Utility is an excellent
device server management tool. You can connect and configure the local
and remote Advantech serial device servers easily. Moreover, Virtual
COM port will be enabled in the same utility. Using this utility, you can:
• Configure the network settings (you can set the IP address, Gateway
address, and Subnet mask)
• View and set the serial port parameters ( configure operating mode,
baud rate, serial port settings and operating mode settings)
• Perform diagnostic tests (virtual COM port testing, port status list)
• Perform administrative functions (export and import the serial device
server setting, manage access IP, a descriptive name, upgrade
firmware)
• Configure COM port redirector(virtual COM port)
