Chapter 3 Installation & Configuration
3.1 Driver and Utility Installation
In order to use a PC via an Ethernet network to control serial devices con-
nected to ADAM-4570W or ADAM-4571W, you must first have a host
running Windows 98/NT/2000 or XP. You also need the host to have an
Ethernet card and TCP/IP protocol installed. Following are the installa-
tion instructions to set up ADAM-4570W / ADAM-4571W.
1. Insert the Advantech INET SERIES DRIVER UTILITY CD-ROM
into the CD-ROM drive (e.g. D:\) on the host PC.
2. Use Windows Explorer or the Windows Run command to execute the
Configuration Utility setup program. If your CD-ROM is D:, the path for
the setup program will be:
D:\ADAM-4570W_4571W\Utility&Driver
\EDG COMPort Configuration Utility\98_NT_2000_XP
3. The setup program will specify a default installation path, C:\Program
Files\Advantech eAutomation\ EDG COMport\Configuration Utility.
If a different 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. The setup program will lead you to finish the
installation.
4. After setup has copied all program files to your computer, click the
‘Finish’ button to finish the installation.
5. Use the same method to install COMPort Mapping Utility.
6. The Configuration Utility and COMPort Mapping Utility will be
placed in the shortcuts automatically, for faster execution. When you start
Configuration Utility, it will automatically locate for Advantech Ethernet
Data Gateway (EDG) devices in the host’s network.
