    Window 2000/XP/Vista(X86) 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.
  • Page 42 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.

  • Page 43: Data Mode (Usdg Mode)

    3.4.3 Data Mode (USDG Mode) (Only ADAM-4571 and ADAM-4570 support this function) The ADAM-4571/4570 can be Data Server or Data Client either. Both operations support TCP and UDP protocol. The ADAM-4571/4570 makes your serial devices behave just like networking devices. You can issue commands or transmit data from serial devices, which connected to the ADAM-4571/4570, to any devices that are connected to the Internet.
  • Page 44 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-4571/4570 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.
  • Page 45 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-4571/4570 does not receive data over an established idle time, the ADAM-4571/4570 will disconnect temporarily.
