1.1 Overview

Advantech's EKI-1360-BE Series of Industrial Device Servers are a robust, feature­rich, and cost-effective way to network-enable equipment in an industrial automation environment. The EKI-1360-BE Series provides one or two serial ports,
802.11a/b/g/n wireless LAN interface to connect any RS-232/422/485 devices to wireless LAN. These wireless serial device servers provide serial-to-wireless network connectivity as an alternative to wired Ethernet connectivity and enable virtually any serial device or equipment to be remotely accessed, controlled, monitored, or shared on an 802.11a/b/g/n wireless network.
By encapsulating serial data and transporting it over Ethernet, the EKI-1360-BE Series allows virtual serial links over Ethernet IP-based networks. After the Advantech Serial Device Server Configuration Utility is installed, a standard serial operation calls with virtual COM port could be transparently redirected to the serial device servers, guaranteeing compatibility with legacy serial devices and enabling backward compatibility with existing software. EKI-1360-BE Series also supports serial tunneling, allowing two native serial devices to communicate over a network without any hosts or programming. As a result, you can extend a limited distance, point-to-point, direct serial connections within the plant, throughout the factory, the facility, the office building, or across the global enterprise.
The EKI-1360-BE Series provides an impressive list of features and functions enabling multiple industrial devices to be connected, controlled, configured, managed, and updated over a network. With serial ports and 802.11a/b/g/n wireless LAN, the EKI-1360-BE Series easily connects multiple serial devices to a network. The transmission speed of the EKI-1360-BE Series is up to 921.6 Kbps totally outstripping the competition to meet the demand for high-speed exchange. Functionally transparent and efficient, the EKI-1360-BE Series is specially designed for remotely controlling and monitoring devices via the Internet.
The EKI-1360-BE Series provides roaming ability. EKI-1360-BE Series can migrate from AP to AP during certain condition. In some field applications, the device can't use a fixed physical connection, such as AGV, transportation, and cross wide space communication. EKI-1360-BE Series can easily installed to fulfill this requirement. With a compact size and lightweight design, the EKI-1360-BE Se ries ca n be installed in moving vehicles without much extra wight.

2.2.1 DIN Rail Mounting

The DIN rail mount option is the quickest installation option. Additionally, it optimizes the use of rail space.
The metal DIN rail kit is secured to the rear of the switch. The device can be mounted onto a standard 35 mm (1.37”) x 7.5 mm (0.3”) height DIN rail. The devices can be mounted vertically or horizontally. Refer to the following guidelines for further information.
Note! A corrosion-free mounting rail is advisable.
When installing, make sure to allow for enough space to properly install the cabling.
2.2.1.1 Installing the DIN-Rail Mounting Kit
1. Position the rear panel of the switch directly in front of the DIN rail, making sure
that the top of the DIN rail clip hooks over the top of the DIN rail, as shown in the following illustration.
Warning! Do not install the DIN rail under or in front of the spring mechanism on
the DIN rail clip to prevent damage to the DIN rail clip or the DIN rail.
Make sure the DIN rail is inserted behind the spring mechanism.
2. Once the DIN rail is seated correctly in the DIN rail clip, press the front of the
switch to rotate the switch down and into the release tab on the DIN rail clip. If seated correctly, the bottom of the DIN rail should be fully inserted in the
release tab.
Figure 2.7 Installing the DIN-Rail Mounting Kit
EKI-1360-BE Series User Manual 12
See the following figure for an illustration of a completed DIN installation procedure.
Figure 2.8 Correctly Installed DIN Rail Kit
3. Grasp the bottom of the switch and slightly rotate it upwards. If there is
resistance, the switch is correctly installed. Otherwise, re-attempt the installation process from the beginning.
2.2.1.2 Removing the DIN-Rail Mounting Kit
1. Ensure that power is removed from the switch, and disconnect all cables and
connectors from the front panel of the switch.
2. Push down on the top of the DIN rail clip release tab with your finger. As the clip
releases, lift the bottom of the switch, as shown in the following illustration.

2.2.2 Wall-Mounting

The wall mounting option provides better shock and vibration resistance than the DIN rail vertical mount.
Note! When installing, make sure to allow for enough space to properly install
the cabling.
Before the device can be mounted on a wall, you will need to remove the DIN rail plate.
1. Rotate the device to view the rear side and locate the DIN mounting plate.
2. Remove the screws securing the DIN mounting plate to the rear side.
3. Remove the DIN mounting plate. Store the DIN mounting plate and provided
screws for later use.
4. Align the wall mounting brackets with the designated location as illustrated in
the following figure. The screw holes on the device and the brackets align if seated correctnly.
5. Secure the wall brackets to the device with M3 screws, see the following figure.
Figure 2.10 Installing Wall Mount Plates
Once the wall mounting brackets are secured on the device, mark the screw hole location on the wall area.
6. On the installation site, place the device firmly against the wall. Make sure the
switch is vertically and horizontally level.
7. Insert a pencil or pen through the screw holes on the mounting bracket to mark
the location of the screw holes on the wall.
8. Remove the switch from the wall and drill holes over each marked location (4)
on the wall, keeping in mind that the holes must accommodate wall sinks in addition to the screws.
