Page 12: Introduction
1.1 Introduction The Advantech Ethernet Data Gateway series (EDG series) is a lightening fast and cost effective data gateway between RS-232/ 422/485 and Ethernet interfaces. This unit immediately upgrades your existing device for integration into the Internet world. The ADAM-4570/ADAM-4571/EDG-4504 provides multiple RS- 232/422/485 serial ports easily individually configured for your needs and ADAM-4570L/4571L provides RS-232 serial ports. -
Page 13: Features
In addition, The EDG series comes with a Windows-based con- figuration and port-mapping utility. The configuration tool can auto-detect all EDG series on the local network. It also lets you adjust all settings easily. The port mapping utility helps you to set up 255 ports for one Windows 95/98/NT/2000/ME/XP plat- form. -

Page 21: Secure Communication
2.1.2 Secure Communication Advanced multiple security features protect the system and make data more private and secure. The ADAM-4570S/4571S guards your network and data by multiple security protections: T-DES (Triple Data Encryption Standard, which is specified in FIPS PUB 46-2 and American National Standard X9.25) strong en- cryption, PKCS#5 (Password-based Cryptographic Standard #5), and IP address authorization. -
Page 22: Access Control And Local Password Configuration12
ADAM-4570S/4571S protects all configuration settings from being changed inadvertently. When this option is enabled, only the corresponding PC can configure the module. The multiple security mechanisms work to prevent unauthorized access to your RS-422/485 networks. Advantech EDG series User’s Manual... -
