The EKI-1521 and EKI-1522 allow RS-232/422/485 serial devices to remotely monitor, manage, and control Ethernet and IP networks. Equipped with dual 10/100Base-TX Ethernet ports and dual media access controllers, the devices ensure data transmission even in the event of a network link failure. The servers feature dual Ethernet LAN redundancy, advanced, multi-access functionality and low-latency processing, and transparent access to serial devices. The servers have a 4,000 vDC Ethernet ESD protection, dual 12- to 48-vDC power inputs with power line surge protection of 3,000 vDC, and an operating temperature range of 0 o 60 C.
