Product Warranty
Advantech warrants to you, the original purchaser, that each of its
products will be free from defects in materials and workmanship for
two years from the date of purchase.
This warranty does not apply to any products which have been
repaired or altered by other than repair personnel authorized by
Advantech, or which have been subject to misuse, abuse, accident or
improper installation. Advantech assumes no liability as a conse-
quence of such events under the terms of this Warranty.
Because of Advantech’s high quality-control standards and rigorous
testing, most of our customers never need to use our repair service. If
an Advantech product ever does prove defective, it will be repaired or
replaced at no charge during the warranty period. For out-of-warranty
repairs, you will be billed according to the cost of replacement materi-
als, service time and freight. Please consult your dealer for more
details.
If you think you have a defective product, follow these steps:
1. Collect all the information about the problem encountered (e.g. type
of PC, CPU speed, Advantech products used, other hardware and
software used etc.). Note anything abnormal and list any on-screen
messages you get when the problem occurs.
2. Call your dealer and describe the problem. Please have your manual,
product, and any helpful information readily available.
3. If your product is diagnosed as defective, you have to request an
RMA number. When requesting an RMA (Return Material Authori-
zation) number, please access ADVANTECH’s RMA website: http://
www.advantech.com.tw/rma. If the web sever is shut down, please
contact our office directly. You should fill in the “Problem Repair
Form”,describing in detail the application environment, configura-
tion, and problems encountered. Note that error descriptions such as
“does not work” and “failure” are so general that we are then
required to apply our internal standard repair process.
4. Carefully pack the defective product, a completely filled-out Repair
and Replacement Order Card and a photocopy of dated proof of
purchase (such as your sales receipt) in a shippable container. A
EDG-4508/4516 User's Manual
product returned without dated proof of purchase is not eligible for
warranty service.
5. Write the RMA number visibly on the outside of the package and
ship it prepaid to your dealer.

WelcometoAdvantechEDG-4508/4516, anIndustrialSerialDeviceServer

❒Package Checklist
❒FrontPanelView
❒RearPanel View
EDG-4508/4516 providesa data communication solution for connecting
Windows NT/95/98 hosts to multiple asynchronous RS-232 serial ports
througha TCP/IP network. Each model has 8 or 16asynchronous RS-232
serial port connections, and one 10/100 Mbps Ethernet connection, al-
lowing any device that supports primarily the asynchronous communi-
cations protocol to attach to a network. EDG-4508/4516 works like an
add-on multi-port serial board to the NT/95/98 server, but with one major
advantage-the TCP/IP network. Since the Windows NT/95/98 host com-
municates with the COM ports on EDG-4508/4516 over a TCP/IP net-
work, you are able to control asynchronous serial devices from virtually
anywhere in the world.
Although it connects through the virtual link of the Ethernet, the ports
on EDG-4508/4516 are recognized as real COM ports by the Windows
NT/95/98operatingsystem.EDG-4508/4516 providesthebasictransmit/
receivedatafunctions,aswellasRTS, CTS, DTR, DSR, and DCD control
signals.Moreover, the EDG-4508/4516 driver is fully compatiblewiththe
Windows NT/95/98 standard COM driver.
EDG-4508/4516 canbe used with your existing applications thatsupport
serial communication. It also comes with a utility program providing a
simple step-by-step installation procedure, and a maintenance wizard
that gives you easy access to your asynchronous devices.
