CHAPTER 2 2 Getting Started
Chapter 2 Getting Started In this chapter, you will be given an overview of the EDG series hardware installation procedures. 2.1 Understanding the Advantech EDG Series The EDG series is an advanced data gateway unit. It extends traditional COM ports of a PC with access over a TCP/IP network. Through networking, you can control and monitor remote serial devices either over a LAN or over the WAN.
2.1.3 Data Integrity All records are protected using the symmetry encryption and checksum algorithms. Symmetry encryption protects the data privacy. With checksum, which is protected by encryption, we could guarantee the integrity of data. Transmissions also include a sequence number, which is protected by encryption, so that missing, altered or extra messages are detectable. 2.1.
2.1.5 ADAM-4571/4571L/4571S There are four LEDs located on the top panel of ADAM-4571/4571L/ 4571S, each with its own specific function. Table 2.
Figure 2.1: ADAM-4571/4571L/4571S—Top Panel Figure 2.2: ADAM-4571/4571L/4571S—Front Panel Figure 2.
2.1.6 ADAM-4570/4570L/4570S There are five network status LEDs located on the top panel of ADAM4570/4570L/4570S, each with its own specific function. Table 2.
Figure 2.5: Front Panel Figure 2.
2.1.7 EDG-4504 There are 13 LEDs located on the top panel of EDG-4504, each with its own specific function. Table 2.
Figure 2.8: EDG-4504—Front Panel Figure 2.9: EDG-4504—Front Panel 2.1.8 Stickers If you forgot the IP addresses of specific EDG Series or where the host PC is mapped to the ADAM-4570 port, we have provided five stickers for you to note the IP addresses and place in a secure location. For example, 172.20.20.5: The IP address of specific ADAM-4570 160.59.20.89: The IP address of the specific host PC mapped to this port.
2.2 Connecting the Hardware Next, we will explain how to find a proper location for your EDG COMPort series, and then explain how to connect to the network, hook up the power cable, and connect to the EDG Series’s serial port. Note: Before you install EDG Series, you can install other com- munication cards first. 2.2.1 Choosing a Location 2.2.1.
Panel Mounting The ADAM-4570/4570L/4570S/4571/4571L/4571S can be attached to a wall using the included metal brackets. Each bracket comes with four screws; first attach the brackets to the bottom of the ADAM-4570/4570L/ 4570S/4571/4571L/4571S. Next, screw each bracket to a wall. Figure 2.
DIN-rail Mounting You can mount the ADAM-4570/4570L/4570S/4571/4571L/ 4571S on a standard DIN Rail. First, using two screws, attach the metal plate to the DIN Rail bracket. Because the screw heads are beveled, the tops of the screws will be flush with the metal plate. Din Rail Mounting Brackets—Orientation of Metal Plates You can now screw the metal plate with the DIN rail bracket assembly to the bottom of the server is a more convenient way.
Piggyback Stack ADAM-4570/4570L/4570S/4571/4571L/4571S can be stacked as seen in the figure below. Figure 2.
2.2.2 EDG-4504 Figure 2.13: Din-rail Mounting Figure 2.
2.2.3 Network Connection There are two ways to use the 10/100Base-T Ethernet connector located on the EDG Series: 1. For Local Area Network (LAN) applications using the EDG Series, you will simply plug one end of your Ethernet cable into the 10/100Base-T connector, and the other end into the hub connected to your network. 2. When installing and configuring, you will find it convenient to hook the EDG Series directly to your computer’s Ethernet card.
2.2.4 Power Connection You should take the following steps to connect EDG Series power. Figure 2.15: Connecting EDG Series series to the hub 1. Connect the power cable to 2-pin connector 2.

The "Status" LED will remain steady for 8 minutes. 3.
3.3 Device System Configuration Four functional categories Device Name Firmware Version Device List Device Description The configuration utility only searches for EDG Series devices on the local network, and cannot search beyond a router or gateway. Make sure that the EDG Series device you want to monitor resides in the same local network segment as the host PC. Ethernet Data Gateway In this column, you will find a list of EDG products if you use the configuration utility to auto-search.
Password Setting While you select ADAM-4571S or ADAM-4570S, Password section will display. When you press down the "setting" button in Password section,a window pops up asking whether to use TDES encryption by entering user-defined password. The window will ask you to reenter the password for confirmation. If it doesn't match the original one, then you can't proceed other configurations. If you choose to use TDES encryption but leave the password column blank, the utility will apply default password.
3.4 Network Configuration TCP/IP Option Ethernet Option Ethernet Option MAC Address This does not need configuration. Link Speed This function will show the current linking speed to be either 10Mbps or 100Mbps. However, the utility will auto-detect the current transmission speed on the network segment and set the transmission speed for the device accordingly.
3.5 Port Configuration Port Setting Option Port Configuration Option Port Setting You can modify the description for individual port settings in the Port Setting Option. Name Specify which port will be connected to the the serial device 1 Port for ADAM-4571/4571L/4571S 2 Ports for ADAM-4570/4570L/4570S 4 ports for EDG-4504 Description Show individual description for each port. You can give more detailed description of the function of the port for easy management and maintenance.
Port Configuration You can modify port configuration in this Configuration Option such as Type, Parity, Flow Control, Data Bits, Stop Bits, Baud Rate and Host Idle Timeout. Type Serial Port Type EDG Series offers three kinds of serial interfaces, RS-232, RS-485 and RS-422. You can use any of the three serial interfaces according to your requirements.
Parity Parity Check Type You can follow the parity check type of your connected module. The following types are provided. • None • Odd • Even • Mark • Space Flow Control Flow Control Type You can choose the flow control type of your connected module. The following types are available.
