4508+U/4516+U". EDG-4508+U/4516+U allows nearly any device to 
serial ports to connect to the Ethernet and share networks quickly. It 
provides a fast, simple and cost-effective way to bring the advantages of 
remote management and data accessibility to thousands of devices that 
cannot connect to the network. 
EDG-4508+U/4516+U supports standard networking application
programming interface (API) such as WinSock and Socket, therefore, 
your serial devices can be used in most popular operating systems with 
EDG-4508+U/4516+U. Moreover, EDG-4508+U/4516+U allows the 
serial device to communicate with other devices by peer-to-peer without 
any intermediate host PCs and software programming, which saves cost 
and effort.
