The EKI-1521I-SC feature one Ethernet port with RJ45 connector and one fiber port with SC connector to provide a redundant network mechanism that guarantees Ethernet network reliability. These serial device servers are designed to connect RS-232/422/485 serial devices such as PLC, meters, sensors, and barcode readers to an IP-based Ethernet LAN. They allow nearly any device with serial ports to connect and share an Ethernet network, while also providing various operations such as 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 servers, guaranteeing compatibility with legacy serial devices and enabling backward-compatibility with existing software. With TCP server, TCP client, and UDP modes, the EKI- 1521 ensure compatibility in network software using a standard network API. Moreover, serial devices can be made communicate with other devices via peer-to-peer, thus eliminating the need for an intermediate host PC and software programming.
