EKI-1528 EKI-1526 8-port RS-232/422/485 Serial Device Server 16-port RS-232/422/485 Serial Device Server Features NEW 8 or 16-port RS-232/422/485 serial communication Provides 2 x 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports for LAN redundancy Supports baud rate up to 921.6 kbps 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 EKI-1528 EKI-1526 RoHS COMPLIANT 2002/95/EC Introduction 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 rich 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.
