Advantech provides an easy-to-use configuration utility to configure your Modbus
Gateways through an Ethernet connection. For secure administration, it can also
restrict the access rights for configuration to only one host PC to enhance network
security. With this secure function enabled, other PCs will not have permission for
configuration. After the installation program on the Advantech IEDG Series Driver
Utility CD-ROM is finished, the serial device servers will be ready for use and config-
ure.
