EDS4100 4 Port Device Server User Guide 11
1: Preface
Purpose and Audience
This guide describes how to install, configure, use, and update the EDS4100 4-Port
Device Server. It is intended for users who will be using the EDS4100 to network-enable
their serial devices. All four serial ports on the EDS4100 support RS-232, while two serial
ports support RS-422/485, making the EDS4100 suitable for use with most serial
devices. Each RS-485 interface supports 31 multi-drop devices, allowing a total of 62
multi-drop devices to access Ethernet Local Area Networks (LANs).
Note: RS-485 circuits support 32 devices. Each EDS4100 RS-485 port, however,
counts as one device, leaving up to 31 additional devices that can be connected
to the same RS-485 circuit.
