Chapter 1 Overview
1.1 Introduction
ADAM-4570W and ADAM-4571W are cost-effective data gateways
between RS-232/422/485 and 802.11b Wireless LAN interfaces. They
provide a quick and low-cost method to connect any RS-232/422/485
device to 802.11b wireless LAN. Functionally transparent and efficient,
ADAM-4570W and ADAM-4571W saves costs when existing hardware
and software must continue to be used. ADAM-4570W and ADAM-
4571W bring the advantages of remote management and data accessibil-
ity to thousands of RS-232/422/485 devices that cannot connect to the
network.
ADAM-4570W and ADAM-4571W provide one or two RS-232/422/485
serial ports, and the transmission speed is up to 230 kbps, meeting the
demand for high-speed data exchange. In addition, you can use a Win-
dows utility to configure ADAM-4570W and ADAM-4571W without
further programming. This not only protects your current hardware
investment but also ensures future network expandability. Since the pro-
tocol conversion is transparent, all your existing devices can be seam-
lessly integrated with the 802.11b wireless LAN network. Therefore,
ADAM-4570W and ADAM-4571W can be used in security systems, fac-
tory automation, SCADA, transportation and more.
ADAM-4570W and ADAM-4571W integrate both your existing human-
machine interface software (HMI) and the RS-232/422/485 system archi-
tecture with an 802.11b Wireless LAN network. The result helps you
save cabling and software development costs. Another benefit is that
ADAM-4570W and ADAM-4571W makes it possible to remotely down-
load programs to a designated device via an 802.11b wireless LAN. This
reduces the need for on-site maintenance and diagnosis. In addition,
ADAM-4570W and ADAM-4571W comes with a Windows configura-
tion and a port-mapping utility. The configuration tool can auto-detect all
802.11b wireless LAN Data Gateway products on the local network. It
also lets you adjust all settings easily. The port mapping utility helps you
to set up COM ports for a Windows 98/NT/2000 or XP platform. This
helps you configure all ports to meet your requirements.
