Data Acquisition & Telemetry


Industrial wireless access point

February 2010 Data Acquisition & Telemetry

Advantech’s EKI-6311G is a combined wireless access point, client bridge and repeater, which offers standards-based and licence-free wireless connectivity for industrial devices, equipment, and applications. For maximum flexibility, EKI-6311G supports multiple operating modes. As an access point, it allows wireless devices to communicate with each other and with 10/100Base-TX Ethernet wired networks. For applications where a wireless extension cord is required, client bridge operation connects one or more wired devices to a wireless network. While combining both of these modes, the unit operates as a wireless repeater to extend wireless coverage areas.

The unit is enclosed in a dust-tight and water-tight weatherproof plastic enclosure. With its IP65 rating it can be used in a number of different applications, ranging from indoor plant/factory locations to outdoor use. A single conduit connection is all that is required for both external power and wired network connections.

EKI-6311G supports enterprise standards such as WPA2 (WiFi Protected Access 2) and 802.1x remote authentication, for secure wireless communications to ensure that only authorised users and devices are permitted access. Two detachable antennas are included, in addition to a wall or mast mounting bracket. An in-line PoE (Power over Ethernet) injector simplifies installation by providing power to the unit over the same Cat5e cable that connects it to the network. For setup, all that is required is a PC or laptop equipped with a web browser.
