Chapter 2 Installation In this chapter, you will be given an overview of the EKI-2525/2525I/2528/2528I hardware installation procedures. 2.1 LED Indicators There are few LEDs display the power status and network status located on the front panel of EKI-2525/2525I/2528/2528I, each of them has its own specific meaning as below table.
2.3 Mounting The EKI-2525/2525I/2528/2528I supports two mounting methods: DIN-rail & Wall. 2.3.1 Wall mounting EKI-2525/2525I/2528/2528I can be wall-mounted by using the included mounting kit. Then, hang on the EKI-2525/2525I/2528/2528I to the nails on the wall. First, screws included package combine EKI- 2525/2525I/2528/2528I and metal mounting kit.
2.3.2 DIN-rail Mounting You can also mount EKI-2525/2525I/2528/2528I on a standard DIN-rail by below steps. 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-2525/2525I/2528/2528I 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-2525/2525I has 5 x RJ-45 ports or EKI-2528/2528I has 8 x RJ-45 ports that support connection to 10 Mbps Ethernet, or 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet, and half or full duplex operation. EKI-2525/2525I/2528/2528I can be connected to other hubs or switches through a twisted-pair straight through the 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 adaptor with DC output voltage higher than 48V, or it will burn this converter down. Cable Select the proper UTP cable to construct user network. Please check that is 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-2525_2525I_2528_2528I_Manual_ed4.doc...
