EKI-1361 & EKI-1362 Series User Manual 2
1.1 Overview
EKI-1361 and EKI-1362 wireless serial device servers 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. EKI-1361 and EKI-1362 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 EKI-1361 and EKI-1362, 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. Moreover, you can make serial devices communicate
with other devices peer-to-peer, without any intermediate host PCs and software
programming. That saves a lot of cost and effort. 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-1361 and EKI-1362 are especially suitable
for remote monitoring environments such as security systems, factory automaton,
SCADA, transportation and more.
