EKI-1521 EKI-1522 1-port RS-232/422/485 Serial Device Server 2-port RS-232/422/485 Serial Device Server Features Provides 2 x 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports for LAN redundancy Provides COM port redirection (Virtual COM), TCP and UDP operation modes Supports baud rate up to 921.6 kbps Allows a max. of 5 hosts to access one serial port Allows a max. of 16 hosts to be accessed as TCP client mode Built-in 15 KV ESD protection for all serial signals Provides rich configuration methods including Windows utility, Telnet console, and Web Browser Supports Windows 2000/XP/Vista drivers Automatic RS-485 data flow control SNMP MIB-II for network management EKI-1521 EKI-1522 RoHS COMPLIANT 2002/95/EC Introduction EKI-1521 and EKI-1522 feature two independent Ethernet ports and MAC addresses to provide a redundant network mechanism to guarantee Ethernet network reliability. EKI-1521 and EKI-1522 are serial device servers that connect RS-232/422/485 serial devices, such as PLC, meters, sensors, and barcode reader to an IP-based Ethernet LAN. They allow nearly any device with serial ports to connect and share an Ethernet network. EKI-1521 and EKI-1522 provide various operations: COM port redirection (Virtual COMport), TCP Server, TCP Client and UDP mode. With COM port redirection mode, standard serial operation calls are transparently redirected to the EKI-1521 and EKI-1522, guaranteeing compatibility with legacy serial devices and enabling backward compatibility with existing software. With TCP server, TCP client, and UDP modes, EKI-1521 and EKI-1522 ensures the compatibility of network software that uses a standard network API. Moreover, you can make serial devices communicate with other devices peer-to-peer, without any intermediate host PCs and software programming.
