EKI-1528/I/TI/N EKI-1526/I/TI/N 8-port RS-232/422/485 Serial Device Server 16-port RS-232/422/485 Serial Device Server Features EKI-1528 EKI-1526 8 or 16-port RS-232/422/485 serial communication Provides 2 x 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet ports for LAN redundancy Supports up to 976.5 kbps, and any baud rate setting Provides COM port redirection (Virtual COM), TCP and UDP operation modes Provides rich configuration methods: Windows utility, Telnet console, Web Browser, and serial console Built-in 15 KV ESD protection for all serial signals SNMP MIB-II for network management Built-in buzzer for easy location Standard 1U rackmount size Rear wiring Automatic RS-485 data flow control "I" models support a wide operating temperature RoHS COMPLIANT 2002/95/EC Introduction The EKI-1528 and EKI-1526 are industrial-grade network-based serial device servers for connecting up to 8 or 16 serial RS-232/422/485 devices, such as CNCs, PLCs, scales and scanners, directly to a TCP/IP network. The EKI-1528 and EKI-1526 feature two independent Ethernet ports and MAC addresses to provide a redundant network mechanism to guarantee Ethernet network reliability. The EKI-1528 and EKI-1526 provide a simple and cost-effective way to bring the advantages of remote management and data accessibility to thousand of devices that can't connect to an Ethernet network. The EKI-1528 and EKI-1526 offer multiple ways to configure through Windows utility, Web Browser, serial console or Telnet console, these methods make it easy manage many EKI-1528 and EKI-1526 or serial devices on your network.
