1.1 Overview
The EKI-136x-MB-BE Series bring RS-232/422/485 to wireless LAN or LAN. They
allow nearly any device with serial ports to connect and share an WLAN network. The
EKI-136x-MB-BE Series provide a quick, simple and cost-effective way to bring the
advantages of remote management and data accessibility to thousands of devices
that cannot connect to a network.
With the EKI-136x-MB-BE Series, your existing serial devices can be used with the
most popular operating systems on the market. There is no need to write special
drivers for specific operating systems. In addition, you can actively request data or
issue commands from the RS-232/422/485 side or wireless LAN side. This data can
be sent bilaterally. Thus, the EKI-136x-MB-BE Series are especially suitable for
remote monitoring environments such as security systems, factory automaton,
SCADA, transportation and more.
