7.2  Network Architecture and Example Code                    
The EDG-4508+U/4516+U is an advanced peer-to-peer data gateway 
unit. It extends traditional RS-232/422/485 interfaces to Ethernet net-
work. Through networking, you can control and monitor remote serial 
devices either over a LAN or over the WAN. Since the EDG-4508+U/
4516+U is connected through a TCP/IP network, you will need to know 
some basic facts about networking in order to get the server hooked up 
correctly.
The EDG-4508+U/4516+U provides three types of network architecture: 
polling, event handling and peer-to-peer. You can use the EDG-4508+U/
4516+U in any operation system with standard networking API such as 
WinSock and Socket. If you want to develop application programs to 
access the EDG-4508+U/4516+U, the following illustrates several exam-
ple codes for your reference. The three network types are: polling, event 
handling and peer-to-peer.
