Advantech’s customer services. To ensure you get the full benefit of

our services, please follow the instructions below carefully.

Technical Support

We want you to get the maximum performance from your products. So

if you run into technical difficulties, we are here to help. For most

frequently asked questions you can easily find answers in your

detailed than the ones we can give over the phone.

Please consult this manual first. If you still cannot find the answer,

gather all the information or questions that apply to your problem and,

with the product close at hand, call your dealer. Our dealers are well

trained and ready to give you the support you need to get the most

from your Advantech products. In fact, most problems reported are

minor and are able to be easily solved over the phone.

In addition, free technical support is available from Advantech

engineers every business day. We are always ready to give advice on

application requirements or specific information on the installation and

operation of any of our products.

Product Warranty

Advantech warrants to you, the original purchaser, that each of its

products will be free from defects in materials and workmanship for

two years from the date of purchase.

This warranty does not apply to any products which have been

repaired or altered by other than repair personnel authorized by

Advantech, or which have been subject to misuse, abuse, accident or

improper installation. Advantech assumes no liability as a conse-

quence of such events under the terms of this Warranty.

Because of Advantech’s high quality-control standards and rigorous

testing, most of our customers never need to use our repair service. If

an Advantech product ever does prove defective, it will be repaired or

replaced at no charge during the warranty period. For out-of-warranty

repairs, you will be billed according to the cost of replacement materi-

als, service time and freight. Please consult your dealer for more

details.

If you think you have a defective product, follow these steps:

1. Collect all the information about the problem encountered (e.g. type

of PC, CPU speed, Advantech products used, other hardware and

software used etc.). Note anything abnormal and list any on-screen

messages you get when the problem occurs.

2. Call your dealer and describe the problem. Please have your manual,

product, and any helpful information readily available.

3. If your product is diagnosed as defective, you have to request an

RMA number. When requesting an RMA (Return Material Authori-

zation) number, please access ADVANTECH’s RMA website: http://

www.advantech.com.tw/rma. If the web sever is shut down, please

contact our office directly. You should fill in the “Problem Repair

Form”,describing in detail the application environment, configura-

tion, and problems encountered. Note that error descriptions such as

“does not work” and “failure” are so general that we are then

required to apply our internal standard repair process.

4. Carefully pack the defective product, a completely filled-out Repair

and Replacement Order Card and a photocopy of dated proof of

purchase (such as your sales receipt) in a shippable container. A

EDG-4508/4516 User's Manual

product returned without dated proof of purchase is not eligible for

warranty service.

5. Write the RMA number visibly on the outside of the package and

ship it prepaid to your dealer.

Overview

WelcometoAdvantechEDG-4508/4516, anIndustrialSerialDeviceServer

that greatly enhances the ability of a Windows NT/95/98 host to control

multiple serial port devices over a TCP/IP based Ethernet network.

ing:

❒Features

❒Package Checklist

❒FrontPanelView

❒RearPanel View

EDG-4508/4516 providesa data communication solution for connecting

Windows NT/95/98 hosts to multiple asynchronous RS-232 serial ports

througha TCP/IP network. Each model has 8 or 16asynchronous RS-232

serial port connections, and one 10/100 Mbps Ethernet connection, al-

lowing any device that supports primarily the asynchronous communi-

cations protocol to attach to a network. EDG-4508/4516 works like an

add-on multi-port serial board to the NT/95/98 server, but with one major

advantage-the TCP/IP network. Since the Windows NT/95/98 host com-

municates with the COM ports on EDG-4508/4516 over a TCP/IP net-

work, you are able to control asynchronous serial devices from virtually

anywhere in the world.

Although it connects through the virtual link of the Ethernet, the ports

on EDG-4508/4516 are recognized as real COM ports by the Windows

NT/95/98operatingsystem.EDG-4508/4516 providesthebasictransmit/

receivedatafunctions,aswellasRTS, CTS, DTR, DSR, and DCD control

signals.Moreover, the EDG-4508/4516 driver is fully compatiblewiththe

Windows NT/95/98 standard COM driver.

EDG-4508/4516 canbe used with your existing applications thatsupport

serial communication. It also comes with a utility program providing a

simple step-by-step installation procedure, and a maintenance wizard

that gives you easy access to your asynchronous devices.
