Configuration Utility Overview

Advantech EKI series modbus routers provide an easy-to-use utility to configure your
modbus router through an Ethernet connection. For secure administration, it can also
restrict the access rights for configuration to only one host PC. With this secure func-
tion enabled, other PCs will not have permission for configuration. After the installa-
tion program on the Advantech EKI Device Configuration Utility CD-ROM is finished,
the modbus routers are ready for use and configuration.
Advantech EKI Device Configuration Utility is an excellent modbus router manage-
ment tool. You can connect and configure the local and remote Advantech modbus
routers easily. The utility provides access to the following functions:

Configure the network settings (you can set the IP address, Gateway address,
and Subnet mask)
