Serial Device Server Configuration Utility
Advantech Serial Device Server Configuration Utility integrates device server
management and virtual COM port mapping utility. After installation, this utility not
only configures the EKI-1321/1322, but also connects and configures the ADAM
series and EDG series device servers. Virtual COM port configuration and
management was also integrated in this utility. The best improvement, you don't
restart the host computer while you setup new virtual COM ports. When you map the
virtual COM port, the COM port will enable immediately and show in Windows Device
Manager.
In order to use a PC and an Ethernet network to control serial devices connected to
the EKI-1321/1322, you must first have a host running Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7.
This type of application also requires the host to have an Ethernet card and the TCP/
IP protocol installed. The following are the installation instructions to set up the Serial
Device Server Configuration Utility:
Note!
Ensure Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 has been installed on the host PC.
1.
Insert the Advantech IEDG 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:\ Utility&Driver\Serial Device Server Configuration Util-
ity\Serial_Device_Server_Configuration_Utility_[Version]_Release_[ReleaseDa
te].exe
3.
Upon executing the setup program, the welcome dialogue window will be pop-
up. Press the "Next" button to continue the process.
