Fixed to a DIN-rail Panel/Wall Mounting The ADAM-4572 and EKI-122X serie can be attached to a wall using the included metal brackets. Each bracket comes with four screws. You can install the Modbus Gateways firmly via the components, please see the figures below.
The ADAM-4572, EKI-122X series can be mounted on a standard DIN-rail. The DIN- rail kit is screwed on the Modbus data gateway when out of factory. If the DIN-rail kit is not screwed on the ADAM-4572, EKI-122X series, please screw the DIN-rail kit on the Modbus data gateway first.
The EKI-122X series provides one, two or four standard serial ports DB9 (male) connectors. RS-232/422/485 pin assignments are as below. Figure 2.35 EKI-122X series Serial Port Pin Assignments RS-232 RS-422 RS-485 Data- Data+ 29 ADAM-4572 & EKI-122X Series User Manual...
Series can be connected to other hubs or switches through a twisted-pair straight through the Ethernet cable. For configuration or troubleshooting purposes, user may need to connect the ADAM-4572 and EKI-122X Series directly to the host PC. In this operation mode, user can use a crossover Ethernet cable to connect the ADAM-4572 and EKI-122X Series to the host PC’s Ethernet connector.
Installing the Configuration Utility The following section will show you how to install Advantech Serial Device Server Configuration Utility, a tool to set up and monitor the Modbus Gateways. Note Be sure the Microsoft .NET Framework on your host PC is greater than version 2.0 .

Using “Add IP address to Favorite” or “Search a Range of IP addresses” functions, you are allowed to add one device or group of devices to “Favorites”. These devices can locate on local network domain or other network domain. 41 ADAM-4572 & EKI-122X Series User Manual...
And clink on the “+” before the device name, and utility will expand the communication interfaces on this Modbus data gateway. Select the Ethernet interface (Eth1 or Eth2, these are two individual Ethernet ports). ADAM-4572 & EKI-122X Series User Manual...
IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway: The IP address identifies your Modbus data gateway on the global network. Each ADAM-4572, EKI-122X series has the same default IP address 10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.2 for dual Ethernet ports. Obtain these specific IP addresses from your network admin- istrator and then configure each Advantech Modbus gateway with individual IP addresses, related Subnet Mask and Gateway Setting.
Baud Rate: The EKI-122X series supports baud rate from 50 bps to 921.6 Kbps. While setting the baud rate, please note that the value should conform to the current transmission speeds of connected devices. ADAM-4572 & EKI-122X Series User Manual...
