The serial device servers enable RS-232/422/485 serial devices to be connected
to a host computer over an Ethernet network quickly and cost-effectively.
No extra programming effort is required at the host computer, so software development
costs can be saved.
Serial device servers are especially suitable for remotely controlling and monitoring
your serial devices via the Ethernet.
Advantech's EKI-1500 series have recently (June 2009)
received the Taiwan Excellence Award for their reliable, redundant design,
fast response time and high-speed capabilities.
The EKI-1500 series includes EKI-1521/1522/1524/1528 and 1526, allowing RS-232/422/485
serial devices to be remotely monitored, managed and controlled over Ethernet
and IP networks.
Equipped with dual 10/100Base-TX Ethernet ports and dual Media Access Controllers
(MACs), these innovative devices ensure reliable high-end Serial to Ethernet
communications even in the event of a network link failure.

The EKI-1300/1500 series Device Servers are a drop-in solution to add
network connectivity to non-networked devices and equipment.
With a wired Ethernet, or 802.11b/g wireless connection, and one or more
RS-232/422/485 serial ports, Device Servers encapsulate serial data for
transport over Internet Protocol (IP) networks. Used separately or together
with a host computer or PC, Device Servers are an ideal solution to integrate
serial devices with Ethernet and IP networks, and to overcome the inherent distance
limitations and point-to-point nature of serial devices.

ADAM-4570
& ADAM-4571 ModulesThe ADAM-4570 & 71 are Ethernet to RS/232/485/422 converters.
This means that the controlling software resides on the Ethernet host PC.
The modules come with a port mapping utility which allows the serial ports on
the ADAM-4570/71 to be mapped as a COM port in the host PC, i.e in device manager,
under ports, it will list the ports as com ports.
The utility runs on Windows operating systems.
See also ADAM-4577 & ADAM-4579 below which allow 2 units to be connected to each other via an ethernet.
