ADAM-4577 User’s Manual
This chapter includes an overview of the ADAM-4577 hardware
installation procedures. As mentioned in the previous chapter, the
ADAM-4577 comes ready for all network connections, including
Ethernet, and RS-232/422/485 port connections.
2.1
Understanding ADAM-4577
The ADAM-4577 is an advanced peer-to-peer data gateway unit. It
extends traditional RS-232/422/485 interfaces to Ethernet network.
Through networking, you can control and monitor remote serial
devices either over a LAN or over the WAN.
Since the ADAM-4577 is connected through a TCP/IP network, you
will need to know some basic facts about networking in order to get
the server hooked up correctly.
2.1.1
Network Architecture
Traditional serial devices uses RS-232/422/485 interface to issue
commands or transmits data to another one. By doing this, both of
these two devices will be constrained by the length of wire. With the
ADAM-4577, you are now able to communicate with each other via
Internet. Even more, you can connect any networking device dynami-
cally. ADAM-4577 provides 3 networking architectures: Polling, Event
handling, Peer-to-peer. For details, you can refer to chapter 4.
