EKI-1500 Serial Device Servers Excellent Functionality
Advantech’s EKI-1000 series have two product categories, one is EKI-1500 Serial Device Servers, and the other is EKI-1300 Wireless Serial Device Servers. Both of them have included new advanced Multi-Access functionality for advanced capability. Furthermore, EKI-1500 Serial Device Servers combine 2 x Ethernet ports which have simultaneous Dual-LAN redundancy functionality for industry-proven reliability. There are some EKI-1000 series Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) for further understanding.

Baud Rate 50 ~ 921.6k bps 50 ~ 230.4k bps
Serial Connector DB9 RJ48
Power Input Dual 12 ~ 48VDC 10 ~ 30VDC
Are there different utilities for configuration and port mapping?
No, Advantech provides a new version of the Serial Device Server Configuration Utility which includes both configuration and port mapping functions.
Can the ADAM or EDG Device Severs be configured with this new utility?
Yes. The Advantech Serial Device Server Configuration Utility not only configures EKI-1000 Serial Device Severs, but also connects and configures ADAM and EDG Series Device Servers.
Where can I find the new firmware and configuration utility?
Advantech's support website: http://support.advantech.com.tw/support/default.aspx Search for an EKI-1000 Serial Device Server, and download the new firmware and Serial Device Server Configuration Utility from the BIOS and Utility tab.
Do I need to connect both power inputs to separate DC power supplies?
The second power input (V2+ and V2-) is for an optional redundant power supply, in the event that the primary (V1+ and V1-) fails. If the second input is not used, simply connect jumpers between V1+ and V2+, and V1- and V2- terminals.
What is the purpose of the Power Failure Relay Output?
The Power Failure Relay contact is normally closed when adequate power is supplied to both power inputs. In the event that either input is disconnected or the external power supply fails, the contact opens.
I accidentally connected the power wires backwards. Have I damaged it?
Absolutely not. The EKI-1000 Serial Device Server features reverse polarity protection, so there's no damage if you inadvertently connect the power connections backwards.
I don’t have much space left on my DIN-rail, will the switch fit?
The EKI-1521/1522/1524/1351/1352 Serial Device Severs are only 1.5 ” (37mm) wide, requiring a minimum of space without compromising usability.
My design requires direct panel mounting. Can I do this?
Yes, a panel/wall-mount bracket kit is included in the box with the serial device server.
