example, CPU speed, Advantech products used, other hardware  
and software used, etc.) Note anything abnormal and list any  
onscreen messages you get when the problem occurs.  
2.  
3.  
Call your dealer and describe the problem. Please have your man-  
ual, product, and any helpful information readily available.  
If your product is diagnosed as defective, obtain an RMA (return  
merchandize authorization) number from your dealer. This allows  
us to process your return more quickly.  
4.  
5.  
Carefully pack the defective product, a fully-completed Repair and  
Replacement Order Card and a photocopy proof of purchase date  
(such as your sales receipt) in a shippable container. A product

Overview  
Chapter 1 Overview  
1.1 Introduction  
Advantechs ADAM-4561 allows PC users to connect their serial devices  
to systems that use USB interface. By attaching the ADAM-  
4561 to a PC, it will no longer be necessary to open the chassis or turn off  
the PC to install the hub. With the ADAM-4561, the user instantly gets one  
extra high-speed RS-232/422/485 ports. In addition, since the power is  
derived from the USB port, there are not any cumbersome power adapters.  
This makes the ADAM-4561 especially suitable for printers, POS system  
and industrial control devices.  
Compliant with USB v1.1, the ADAM-4561 features a lot of powerful func-  
tions such as high-speed 115.2 Kbps, support for various operat- ing sys-  
tems, independent RS-232/422/485 port and more. By simply plugging in a  
USB hub, theADAM-4561 eliminates configuration issues associated with  
expensive, antiquated card solutions. This eliminates the need to remove  
the PC cover and or to reboot the operating system during installation.  
The user only installs the driver, and follows the on-screen instructions.  
This reduces a lot of program- mingtime.  
The USB interface, now standard on virtually all new PCs, offers signifi-  
cant advantages over earlier bus types. A signal USB interface can con-  
nect up to 127 devices at data rates up to 12 Mbps. This kind of easy and  
convenient connectivity means that your network can grow with your  
needs.

Installation & Setup  
Chapter 2 Installation & Setup  
2.1 Hardware Installation  
2.1.1 Network Architecture  
Traditional serial port communication uses a COM port board that slides  
into one of the slots at the back of your PC. With the ADAM- 4561, you  
can access the COM port from USB ports. The ADAM-4561 can be inte-  
grated into the network architecture of any protocol.  
Note:  
All the operating systems on your host  
mustsupport USB v1.1 standard, such as Win-  
dows 98/ME/2000. USB devices are used in  
“Master-Slave” architecture. Before you use  
ADAM-4561, you must determine the master  
PC  
The following illustration shows the network architecture:  
Figure 2.1: Network Architecture  
ADAM-4561 User Manual

2.1.2 Network Connection  
When using the ADAM-4561, you will simply plug one end of USB cable  
(included in package) into ADAM-4561, and the other end into the USB  
hub or your host PC.  
2.1.3 Serial Connection  
The model of the ADAM-4561 that you purchased has 10 pin connec- tor  
for connecting serial ports on the bottom of module. Only one set of  
twisted-pair cables is required to transmit both Data and RTS signals for  
RS-485 interface.  
Note:  
In USB v1.1 standard, If you have used the  
COM3, COM4….. COMn of host PC. When  
you plug ADAM-4561 in the host PC, the COM  
port will be COMn+1.

2.1.4 Jumper Settings  
You can use JP1 on ADAM-4561 to configure serial mode. Please refer to  
the picture below for Jumper JP1 location.  
You can choose “On (RS-422 Master)” or “Auto (RS-422 Slave/RS-485  
Automatic Direction Control)” for serial mode. Please refer to the picture  
below.  
For RS-485, if the JP1 is set to “Auto”, the driver automatically senses  
the direction of the data flow and switches the direction of transmission.  
Handshaking is unnecessary. For RS-422, if the JP1 is set to “Auto”, it  
will become RS-422 slave. If the JP1 is set to “On”, the driver is always  
enabled, and always in high or low status. The user must select the mode  
before beginning RS-422 application.
