space and software development cost. The ADAM-
4570/ADAM-4571/EDG-4504 also provides a high-
performance RISC CPU and real time operating sys-
tem to reduce CPU load. These components make the
ADAM-4570/ADAM-4571/EDG-4504 more stable
and reliable. Another benefit is the ADAM-4570/
ADAM-4571/EDG-4504 allows users to remotely
download programs to a designated device via Ethernet.
This reduces the need for on-site maintenance and di-
agnosis. In addition, the ADAM-4570/ADAM-4571/
EDG-4504 comes with a Windows configuration and
port-mapping utility. This configuration tool can auto-
detect all Ethernet Data Gateway products on a local
network. It also lets users easily adjust all settings. The
port mapping utility helps to set up COM ports for one
Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP platform. This helps us-
ers manage all ports to meet their needs.

For improving the stability of systems, users usually have
to spend lots of effort to build up “Redundant” func-
tionality. Now, the ADAM-4570 provides new pow-
erful functions that help users build up redundant sys-
tems fast and easily: The new functions are Host idle &
Device idle.

The purpose of the “Host idle switch” function is to
prevent system hang-up from occurring due to applica-
tion program failure. If the application program fails,
the ADAM-4570 will cut off the connection between
the host PC and the ADAM-4570. Another PC can
then start to access the same ADAM-4570. Also, if
