Product Warranty (5 years)
Advantech warrants to you, the original purchaser, that each of its products will be
free from defects in materials and workmanship for five years from the date of
purchase.
This warranty does not apply to any products which have been repaired or altered by
persons other than repair personnel authorized by Advantech, or which have been
subject to misuse, abuse, accident or improper installation. Advantech assumes no
liability under the terms of this warranty as a consequence of such events.
Because of Advantech’s high quality-control standards and rigorous testing, most of
our customers never need to use our repair service. If an Advantech product is
defective, it will be repaired or replaced at no charge during the warranty period. For
out of-warranty repairs, you will be billed according to the cost of replacement
materials, service time and freight. Please consult your dealer for more details.
If you think you have a defective product, follow these steps:
1. Collect all the information about the problem encountered. (For example, CPU
speed, Advantech products used, other hardware and software used, etc.) Note
anything abnormal and list any on-screen messages you get when the problem
occurs.
2. Call your dealer and describe the problem. Please have your manual, product,
and any helpful information readily available.
3. If your product is diagnosed as defective, obtain an RMA (return merchandise
authorization) number from your dealer. This allows us to process your return
more quickly.
4. Carefully pack the defective product, a fully-completed Repair and Replacement
Order Card and a photocopy proof of purchase date (such as your sales receipt)
in a shippable container. A product returned without proof of the purchase date
is not eligible for warranty service.
5. Write the RMA number visibly on the outside of the package and ship it prepaid
to your dealer.

EKI-136x-MB-BE Series User Manual 2
1.1 Overview
The EKI-136x-MB-BE Series 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. The
EKI-136x-MB-BE Series 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 the EKI-136x-MB-BE Series, 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. 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-136x-MB-BE Series are especially suitable for
remote monitoring environments such as security systems, factory automaton,
SCADA, transportation and more.
Types of supported devices:
Human Machine Interface (HMI)
Programmable Logic Controller (PLC)
Flow meters
Temperature / pressure monitoring equipment
Gas leak detection device
Scales
Power monitoring equipment
Data Acquisition Modules
1.2 Features
Links any serial device to an IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n network
Supports 802.11n MIMO 2T2R
WLAN transmision rate up to 300 Mbps
Supports secure access with WEP, WPA/WPA2-Personal, WPA/WPA2-
Enterprise
