2.3 Mounting The EKI-2728 supports two mounting methods: DIN-rail & Wall. 2.3.1 Wall mounting EKI-2728 can be wall-mounted by using the included mounting kit. Then, hang on the EKI-2728 to the nails on the wall. First, use the screws included in the package to combine the EKI-2728 and metal mounting kit.
2.3.2 DIN-rail Mounting You can also mount EKI-2728 on a standard DIN-rail by the steps below. The DIN-rail kit is screwed on the industrial switch when out of factory. If the DIN-rail kit is not screwed on the industrial switch, please screw the DIN-rail kit on the switch first. First, hang the EKI-2728 to the DIN-rail with angle of inclination.

Then, let the device down straight to slide over the rail smoothly. See Figure 2.7 Figure 2.7: Installation to DIN-rail Step 2 Chapter2...
2.4 Network Connection The EKI-2728 has 8 x RJ-45 ports that support connection to 10 Mbps Ethernet, 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet, or 1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet, and half or full duplex operation. EKI-2728 can be connected to other hubs/switches through a twisted-pair straight- through cable or a crossover cable up to 100m long.
Chapter 3 Troubleshooting Power Input Verify that is using the right power cord/adapter (+12~48 V ), please don’t use the power adapter with DC output voltage higher than 48V, or it will burn this converter down. Cable Select the proper UTP/STP cable to construct your network. Please check that you are using the right cable.
Appendix A Pin Assignment & Wiring It is suggested to adopt ELA/TIA as the wiring of the RJ-45. Figure A.1: RJ-45 Pin Assignment Figure A.2: EIA/TIA-568B Figure A.2: EIA/TIA-568A EKI-2728 User Manual.doc...
