Chapter 2 Getting Started
In this chapter, you will be given an overview of the ADAM-4570 series
hardware installation procedures.
2.1 Understanding the Advantech ADAM-4570 Series
The ADAM-4570 series are advanced device servers. They extend tradi-
tional 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.Since the ADAM-4570 series 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 port communication uses a COM port board that slides
into one of the slots at the back of your PC. In this case, only the com-
puter containing the board can access the serial port. With the ADAM-
4570 series, you are now able to access the COM port from a distance
through local area network. The ADAM-4570 series can be integrated
within the network architecture of any protocol. Note, all serial devices
which are connected to the port must have the same protocol running and
the same transmission speed. Connect devices running different protocols
to different ports of the ADAM-4570 series.
9 Chapter 2
2.1.2 LED Indicators
There are three or four LEDs located on the top panel of ADAM-4570
series, each with its own specific function.

2.1.4 Stickers
If you forgot the IP addresses of specific ADAM-4570 series or where the
host PC is mapped to the ADAM-4570 series 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 series
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 serial device
server, and then explain how to connect to the network, hook up the
power cable, and connect to the ADAM-4570 series’s serial port.
Note: Before you install ADAM-4570 series, you can install other com-
munication cards first.
2.2.1 Choosing a Location
Due to its versatile and innovative design, the ADAM-4570 series can be:
• Fixed to a panel mount
• Fxed to a DIN-rail.
• Piggyback Stack
ADAM-4570 Series User Manual 12
Panel Mounting
The ADAM-4570 series 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 series. Next, screw each
bracket to a wall.
Figure 2.4: Panel Mounting
13 Chapter 2
DIN-rail Mounting
You can mount the ADAM-4570 series 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. Next, use the remain-
ing screws to put the metal plate on the bottom of the ADAM-4570 series.

ADAM-4570 Series User Manual 14
Piggyback Stack
ADAM-4570 series can be stacked as seen in the figure below.
Figure 2.6: Piggyback Stack
15 Chapter 2
2.2.2 Network Connection
There are two ways to use the 10/100Base-T Ethernet connector located
on the ADAM-4570 series:
1. For Local Area Network (LAN) applications using the
ADAM-4570 series, you will simply plug one end of your Ethernet cable
into the 10/100Base-T connector, and the other end into the hub con-
nected to your network.
2. When installing and configuring, you will find it convenient to hook
the ADAM-4570 Series directly to your computers Ethernet card. To do
this you will need to use a “crossed-cable”, such as the one supplied with
your server.
Cabling requirements for the Ethernet side
Use an RJ-45 to connect the Ethernet port of the ADAM-4570 series to
the network hub. The cable for connection should be Category 3 (for
10Mbps data rate) or Category 5 (for 100 Mbps data rate) UTP/STP
cable, which is compliant with EIA/TIA 586 specifications. Maximum
length between the hub and any ADAM-4570 Series is up to 100 meters
(ca.300 ft).
Figure 2.7: Connecting ADAM-4570 Series to a Hub
ADAM-4570 Series User Manual 16
2.2.3 Power Connection
You should take the following steps to connect ADAM-4570 series
power.
1. Connect the power cable to 2-pin connector
2. Connect power cable to power adapter
Figure 2.8: Power Connection
If the ADAM-4570 Series is working properly, the green power LED will
light up, indicating that the ADAM-4570 Series is receiving power.
2.2.4 Serial Connection
The model of the ADAM-4570 Series that you purchased has RJ-48
serial ports or DB-9 male connector on the bottom of module. Depending
on your serial device and serial interfaces, there are two options:
1. For an RS-232/422/485 port you may use a RJ-48 to DB-9 cable
which we supply to connect your serial device to the ADAM-4570/
4570L. Simply plug one end of the cable into the jack, and plug the
other end into the serial port jack on your serial device.
2. Refer to the following table for details on serial cable RJ-48 to DB-9
pinouts.

3.3 Setting Ethernet Parameters
This section explains how to configure the ADAM-4570 series network
using this utility so that it can communicate over a network with serial
devices.
Click on the "+" before the model name (e.g. ADAM-4570), and the util-
ity will expand the tree structure to show the individual device name. And
click on the “+” before the device name, and the utility will expand the
interfaces on this device server. Select the Ethernet interface (Eth1).
MAC Address:
The MAC address is for the local system to identify and locate each serial
device servers. This MAC address is already set before delivery from fac-
tory, hence no need for further configuration.
IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway:
The IP address identifies your Advantech serial device server on the glo-
bal network. Each ADAM-4570 series has the same default IP address
10.0.0.1. Obtain these specific IP addresses from your network adminis-
trator and then configure each Advantech serial device server with indi-
vidual IP addresses, related Subnet Mask and Gateway Setting.
You can choose from four possible IP configure modes: Static, DHCP,
BOOTP, and DHCP/BOOTP.
ADAM-4570 Series User Manual 30
Static IP
User defines IP address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, and DNS.
DHCP + Auto-IP
DHCP server assigns IP address.
BOOTP + Auto-IP
BOOTP server assigns IP address.
DHCP + BOOTP + Auto-IP
DHCP server assigns IP address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, and
DNS or BOOTP server assigns IP address (If DHCP server does not
respond).
DNS Setting
In order to use DNS feature, you need to set the IP address of DNS server
to be able to access the host with the domain name. The ADAM-4570
serial device server provides Primary DNS server and Secondary DNS
server configuration items to set the IP address of the DNS server. Sec-
ondary DNS server is included for use when Primary DNS sever is
unavailable.
31 Chapter 3
DHCP Timeout(s)
If you select DHCP as IP configuration mode, the ADAM-4570 will retry
DHCP timeout(s) (default: 180s) until network settings are assigned by
the DHCP server. If the DHCP/BOOTP server is unavailable, the
ADAM-4570 will use Address auto configuration (based on RFC 3330
and RFC 3927) for IP setting.
3.4 Setting Serial Parameters
This section explains how to configure the ADAM-4570 series serial
communication parameters using this utility. There are various operation

ADAM-4570 Series User Manual 34
3.4.2 Operation Mode Configuration
COM Redirector Setting:
The Advantech serial device servers extend traditional COM ports of a
PC to Ethernet access. Through Ethernet networking, users can control
and monitor remote serial devices and equipments over LAN or WAN.
Advantech serial device servers come with a COM port redirector
(Virtual COM driver) that transmits all serial signals intact. This means
that your existing COM-based software can be preserved, without modi-
fying to fulfill the needs. The Virtual COM mode allows user to continue
using RS-232 serial communications software that was written for pure
serial communication applications.
The ADAM-4570 series comes with COM port redirector (virtual COM
driver) that work with series comes with COM port redirector Window
2000/XP/Vista systems. The driver establishes a transparent connection
between host and serial device by mapping the IP of Advantech serial
device server serial port to a local COM port on the host computer.
The ADAM-4570 series provides Multi-access function through Ethernet
connection path. Allow the maximum of 5 connections to open one serial
port simultaneously. In this mode, all connection has to use the same
serial setting. If one serial setting of these connections is different from
others, the data communication may operate incorrectly.
35 Chapter 3
Host Idle Timeout (10 to 255 seconds):
The "Host Idle Timeout" setting monitors the connection between the
host and the device. If the "Host Idle Timeout" setting time is reached, the
device server will release the resources allocated to the port mapping.
This prevents a stalled host from affecting the connective device.
The ADAM-4570 series provides Multi-access function through Ethernet
connection path. Allow the maximum of 5 connections to open one serial
port simultaneously. In the mode, all connection has to use the same
serial setting. If one serial setting of these connections is different from
others, the data communication may operate incorrectly.
There are two operating mode of Multi-access function. One is Normal
mode; another is Round-Robin mode.
Normal mode:
Disabling “Response Timeout” parameter, the ADAM-4570 series will
operate in “normal mode”. When multiple hosts open the serial port
simultaneously, the ADAM-4570 series only offers control ability for the
first connected host and provides data communication function for others.
Each serial port supports up to five simultaneous connections, so multiple
hosts can transmit/receive data to/from the same serial port simulta-
neously. Every host can transmit data to the same serial port, and the
ADAM-4570 series will also transmit data to every hosts. When the mul-
tiple hosts transmit data to the same serial port at the same time, the
received data from Ethernet and the outputs of serial port are mixed.
When the ADAM-4570 series receives data from serial port, the data will
also be transmitted to the connected hosts simultaneously.
Note The default value of "Host Idle Timeout" is 60 seconds.
Note This operating mode is suitable for the one major
host send the command and others hosts just lis-
ten the data from serial port. If two of connected
hosts send the command at the same time, it is
possible that ADAM-4570 series serial device
server will not handle the command and will
response the incorrect data.
ADAM-4570 Series User Manual 36
Round-Robin mode:
Enabling “Response Timeout” parameter, the ADAM-4570 series will
operate in “Round-Robin mode”. Each serial port supports up to five
simultaneous connections, so multiple hosts can transmit/receive data to/
from the same serial port simultaneously. Every host can transmit data to
the same serial port simultaneously, but the ADAM-4570 series will pro-
cess the data communication in order. ADAM-4570 series will process
the first host’s request and reply the response to the first host. ADAM-
4570 serial device server can determine the end of the serial acknowl-
edgement via response timeout. When ADAM-4570 serial device server
receives nothing from serial port after the setting of response timeout, the
device will reply the acknowledgement to the host and then process the
next host’s request. While the connected hosts are more and “Response
Timeout” is long, the process time is much longer.
Frame Break is a very import parameter for Round Robin mode. This
parameter is the smart way to reduce inefficient waiting time and the
ADAM-4570 series can transmit data more efficiently. Disabling the
Frame Break function, the ADAM-4570 series will wait “Response Tim-
eout” period, whether the device have transmitted the data. During this
period, the commands from hosts will be queued and the ADAM-4570
series just processes this command. Enabling “Frame Break”, if the serial
port idle is longer than the “Frame Break” period, ADAM-4570 series
will assume the communication is completed and continue the next host’s
query. This is an efficient way to reduce the waiting time and improve the
performance.
3.4.3 Data Mode (USDG Mode)
The ADAM-4570 series can be Data Server or Data Client either. Both
operations support TCP and UDP protocol. The ADAM-4570 series
makes your serial devices behave just like networking devices. You can
issue commands or transmit data from serial devices, which connected to
the ADAM-4570 series, to any devices that are connected to the Internet.
The ADAM-4570 series allows most 5 host PCs accessing data simulta-
neously via polling networking architecture. You can use it according to
your application. If you want to access the ADAM-4570 series, you must
ascertain your application software supports standard networking appli-
cation programming interface (API) such as: WinSock Socket.
You might select “USDG Mode” as the following figure to change the
mode of the port to TCP server/client or UDP mode.
37 Chapter 3
Protocol
The ADAM-4570 series provides TCP/IP and UDP two protocols. In
settings, you can choose either TCP mode or UDP mode according to
your application.
Data Listen Port
The TCP/UDP port number represents the source port number, and the
number is used to identify the channel for remote initiating connections.
Range: 1024-65533. If an unknown caller wants to connect to the system
and asks for some services, they need to define the TCP/UDP port to
carry a long-term conversation.
Each node on a TCP/IP network has an IP address, and each IP address
can allow connections on one or more TCP port. The well known TCP
ports are those that have been defined; for example, port 23 is used for
Telnet connections. There are also custom sockets that users and develop-
ers define for their specific needs. The default TCP/UDP port of the
ADAM-4570 series is 5300. The example initial 5300 is System Port, and
5301 is Data Port. But users can adjust them by one's preference or appli-
cation.
Each port has its own data listen port to accept connected request of other
network device. So, the data listen port can’t be set the same value. You
can transmit/receive data to/from device via the data listen port.
ADAM-4570 Series User Manual 38
Command Listen Port
Each port has its own command listen port to accept connected request of
other network device. So, the command listen port can’t be set the same
value. You can use ‘AT command’ to change the port setting via the com-
mand listen port. The Command Listen Port should be different from the
Data Listen port.
Data Idle Timeout
The default is 60 seconds. If you want to keep connection continually,
you can disable the Data Idle Timeout. Data idle Time is the time period
in which the device waits for data. If the ADAM-4570 series does not
receive data over an established idle time, the ADAM-4570 series will
disconnect temporarily. When the data comes to the ADAM-4570 series,
it will reconnect automatically. Users do not need to reconnect.
Enable Time Sharing
The ADAM-4570 series provides Multi-access function through Ethernet
connection path. Allow the maximum of 5 connections to open one serial
port simultaneously. In the mode, all connection has to use the same
serial setting. If one serial setting of these connections is different from
others, the data communication may operate incorrectly.
There are two operating mode of Multi-access function. One is Normal
mode; another is Round-Robin mode.
• Normal Mode
Disabling “Response Timeout” parameter, the ADAM-4570 series will
operate in “normal mode”. When multiple hosts open the serial port
simultaneously, the ADAM-4570 series only offers control ability for the
first connected host and provides data communication function for others.
Each serial port supports up to five simultaneous connections, so multiple
hosts can transmit/receive data to/from the same serial port simulta-
neously. Every host can transmit data to the same serial port, and the
ADAM-4570 series will also transmit data to every hosts. When the mul-
tiple hosts transmit data to the same serial port at the same time, the
received data from Ethernet and the outputs of serial port are mixed.
When the ADAM-4570 series receives data from serial port, the data will
also be transmitted to the connected hosts simultaneously.
39 Chapter 3
• Round-Robin Mode
Enabling “Response Timeout” parameter, the ADAM-4570 series will
operate in “Round-Robin mode”. Each serial port supports up to five
simultaneous connections, so multiple hosts can transmit/receive data to/
from the same serial port simultaneously. Every host can transmit data to
the same serial port simultaneously, but the ADAM-4570 series will pro-
cess the data communication in order. The ADAM-4570 series will pro-
cess the first hosts request and reply the response to the first host. The
ADAM-4570 series serial device server can determine the end of the
serial acknowledgement via response timeout. When ADAM-4570 series
serial device server receives nothing from serial port after the setting of
response timeout, the device will reply the acknowledgement to the host
and then process the next host’s request. While the connected hosts are
more and “Response Timeout” is long, the process time is much longer.
Frame Break is a very import parameter for Round Robin mode. This
parameter is the smart way to reduce inefficient waiting time and the
ADAM-4570 series can transmit data more efficiently. Disabling the
Frame Break function, the ADAM-4570 series will wait “Response Tim-
eout” period, whether the device have transmitted the data. During this
period, the commands from hosts will be queued and the ADAM-4570
series just processes this command. Enabling “Frame Break”, if the serial
port idle is longer than the “Frame Break” period, the ADAM-4570 series
will assume the communication is completed and continue the next host’s
query. This is an efficient way to reduce the waiting time and improve the
performance.
Peer Number
Set the number of network device which you want to connect. You can
set maximum sixteen network devices which you want to connect. You
need to fill out the IP Address and Port of network devices which you
want to connect.
ADAM-4570 Series User Manual 40
3.4.4 Control Mode (USDG Mode)
In controlling mode, the ADAM-4570 series presents a modem interface
to the attached serial device: it accepts AT-style modem commands to
connect / disconnect to other networking device. If you want serial device
running application program to connect/disconnect to different devices
dynamically, you can use controlling mode.
The “Control mode” provides three kinds of modem AT-style commands.
The serial devices can use these commands to control the ADAM-4570
series to connect/disconnect to remote networking device. Thus, intelli-
gent serial devices such as standalone PLC will send /receive data to/from
devices one by one via Ethernet.
41 Chapter 3
Please refer to the Data Mode (USDG Mode) to setup the Data Listen
Port, Command Listen Port, and Data Idle Timeout.
Hangup Character
The default character is “+”. After you have connected to another serial
device via ADAM-4570 series, you may need to disconnect. Then you
can use the command "+++" to disconnect. To do this leaves your key-
board idle (don't press any keys) for at least several seconds, then press
"+" three times. You can set "Guard Time" to define the idle time. Be sure
that you have to press "+" over the idle time.
Guard Time
The default value is 1000 ms.
Example: <Guard Time> + <Guard Time> + <Guard Time> +

3.4.6 Advanced Settings
The serial device server provides the advanced settings for some special
applications which need critical time requirements. In normal applica-
tions, these settings are recommended not to be set to avoid the unusual
action happened.
Delay Time (ms)
When enabled, the serial port will postpone the received data for the time
interval you set, and then send the received data to the TCP/IP network.
Ignore Purge
Some application program will purge the serial port the first time opens
this serial port. You can ignore the purge command by enable this option.
Disable Character Timeout Detection
Enable this option will disable the serial port character timeout detection.
Disable Multiple Connection
Enabling this option will disable the multi-access function, thus the only
one TCP connection is allowed on this serial port.
Note These settings are just for special applications. We recom-
mend not enabling advanced settings in normal usage.

Redirector
ADAM-4570 Series User Manual 52
Chapter 4 Setting the COM Redirector
Advantech Serial Device Sever Configuration Utility also creates virtual
COM ports that Windows applications will use to communicate with
remote serial devices. Advantech virtual COM ports follow the same
naming/numbering convention as Windows COM ports.
4.1 Setting COM Redirector (Virtual COM port)
Advantech COM port mapping software is a serial COM port redirector
that creates virtual COM ports and provides access to serial devices con-
nected to Advantech serial device servers. Your serial device applications
can communicate with serial devices connected to Advantech serial
device servers without software changes. Since the virtual COM ports
work like standard Windows COM ports, your application software sees
no difference between a local serial device and one connected to a Advan-
tech serial device server.
COM redirector utility and Virtual COM port Management utility are
integrated into one utility with same GUI. Advantech Serial Device
Server Configuration Utility can create all Virtual COM ports using
“Auto Mapping” function. You can map the Virtual COM port by
yourself.
4.1.1 Auto Mapping
Right click the serial device name on the sub-tree of Device Server List
area and select the “Auto Mapping” function.
53 Chapter 4
The serial ports that can be assigned to virtual COM will be shown in this
window. Select the serial ports you wish to map or click the <Select All>
button and press <Map Selected Ports> button. The selected serial ports
will be mapped to virtual COM ports in sequential order.
The COM ports in the “Virtual Com Ports” listing are now available for
use by Windows applications.
ADAM-4570 Series User Manual 54
4.1.2 Manual Mapping
Right click the serial device name on the sub-tree of Device Server List
area and select the “Manual Mapping” function.
ADAM-4570 series have only one IP address. You select the serial port
on the device server and the host COM that you want to set. Press <Map
it> to establish the virtual COM port on the host.
55 Chapter 4
Auto Reconnect Property:
Sometimes, the connection between Advantech serial device server and
HOST is interrupted by network traffic or powered-off by accident. In
such a situation, the host has to reconnect to Advantech serial device
server. The function "Auto Reconnect" is for this purpose, if the
Advantech serial device server loses the connection to its host, the COM
redirector will try to re-establish the connection while the host’s AP
access the virtual COM port. The COM redirector DOES NOT re-estab-
lish the connection automatically. When the connection is working again,
the host's commands will be automatically received by the Advantech
serial device server again. Reconfiguration is not necessary, so this func-
tion enhances the reliability of the system.
If the function is disabled, the connection can not be re-established again
unless the COM redirector or host is restarted.
4.1.3 Manual Direct Mapping Virtual COM Port
Click the button on the Quick Took bar, you can add a target by
selecting the Device Type and inputting the IP address without physically
connecting the serial device server to the network.
Note If you set the wrong IP address, COM redirector will
still try to connect the device. It might cause the system
performance low or other issue
ADAM-4570 Series User Manual 56
4.1.4 Remove the Virtual COM Port
If you want to remove the virtual COM port, you can remove them one by
one or group remove ports.

4.2 Running Diagnostic Test
The purpose of this test is to make sure the communication from host PC
to ADAM-4570 series is OK. If there is still an error, you can check the
communication from the ADAM-4570 series to the devices.
If the test is selected, an external test will be done to check that the
connection signals for each port are working properly. For the test, you
will need to connect each port to a loopback tester (provided in the
package). The loopback test only applies to RS-232 mode. The test is
divided into two parts: Signal test and Communication Parameters test.
Note Before you do this diagnostic test, you must complete
the process of virtual COM port mapping (which is
