Product Warranty (2 years)
Advantech warrants to you, the original purchaser, that each of its products will be free from
defects in materials and workmanship for two 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 onscreen 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 merchandize
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.

3. Disconnect this equipment from any AC outlet before cleaning. Use a damp cloth. Do not
use liquid or spray detergents for cleaning.
4. For plug-in equipment, the power outlet socket must be located near the equipment and
must be easily accessible.
5. Keep this equipment away from humidity.
6. Put this equipment on a reliable surface during installation. Dropping it or letting it fall may
cause damage.
7. The openings on the enclosure are for air convection. Protect the equipment from
overheating. DO NOT COVER THE OPENINGS.
8. Make sure the voltage of the power source is correct before connecting the equipment to
the power outlet.
9. Position the power cord so that people cannot step on it. Do not place anything over the
power cord.
10. All cautions and warnings on the equipment should be noted.
11. If the equipment is not used for a long time, disconnect it from the power source to avoid
damage by transient over voltage.
12. Never pour any liquid into an opening. This may cause fire or electrical shock.
13. Never open the equipment. For safety reasons, the equipment should be opened only by
qualified service personnel.
14. If one of the following situations arises, get the equipment checked by service personnel:
a. The power cord or plug is damaged.
b. Liquid has penetrated into the equipment.
c. The equipment has been exposed to moisture.
d. The equipment does not work well, or you cannot get it to work according to the user's
manual.
e. The equipment has been dropped and damaged.
f. The equipment has obvious signs of breakage.
15. DO NOT LEAVE THIS EQUIPMENT IN AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE THE STORAGE
TEMPERATURE MAY GO BELOW -40℃(-40℉) OR ABOVE 85℃(185 ℉). THIS
COULD DAMAGE THE EQUIPMENT. THE EQUIPMENT SHOULD BE IN A
CONTROLLED ENVIRONMENT.

Safety Precaution - Static Electricity
Follow these simple precautions to protect yourself from harm and the products from damage.
1. To avoid electrical shock, always disconnect the power from your PC chassis before you
work on it. Don't touch any components on the CPU card or other cards while the PC is
on.
2. Disconnect power before making any configuration changes. The sudden rush of power
as you connect a jumper or install a card may damage sensitive electronic components.

EKI-7758F User Manual 2
Chapter 1 Overview
1.1 Introduction
To create reliability in your network, the EKI-7758F comes equipped with a proprietary
redundant network protocol—X-Ring that was developed by Advantech, which
provides users with an easy way to establish a redundant Ethernet network with ultra
high-speed recovery time less than 10 ms.
Aside from 4 x 10/100/1000Base-T(X) fast Ethernet ports, the EKI-7758F come
equipped with 4 SFP (mini-GBIC) fiber optic ports. Traditional RJ-45 ports can be used
for uplinking wide-band paths in short distance (< 100 m), while the SFP slots can be
used for the application of wideband uploading and long distance transmissions to fit
the field request flexibility. Also, the long MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures)
ensures that the EKI-7758F will continue to operate until a Gigabit network
infrastructure has been established, without requiring any extra upgrade costs.
1.1.1 The SFP Advantage
The EKI-7758F’s four SFP fiber slots provide a lot of flexibility when planning and
implementing a network. The slots can accept any SFP-type fiber module and these
modules are designed for transmitting over distances of either 500m (multi-mode),
10km, 30km, 50km, 70km or 110km (single-mode) – and the slots support SFP
modules for WDM single-fiber transmissions. This means that you can easily change
the transmission mode and distance of the switch by simply pulling out the SFP
module and plugging in a different module. The SFP modules are hot-swappable and
plug-and-play! Also, the fact that the switch has four of these slots, means that the
network manager can, for example, have one 10km module in one slot and one 110km
in the other.
1.1.2 High-Speed Transmissions
The EKI-7758F includes a switch controller that can automatically sense transmission
speeds (10/100 Mbps). The RJ-45 interface can also be auto-detected, so MDI or MDI-
X is automatically selected and a crossover cable is not required. All Ethernet ports
have memory buffers that support the store-and-forward mechanism. This assures that
data is properly transmitted.
1.1.3 Dual Power Input
To reduce the risk of power failure, the EKI-7758C provides +12 ~ 48 VDC dual power
inputs. with power reserve protection, which can prevent the switch device broken by
wrong power wiring. When one of power input is fail, P-Fail LED will turn on and send
an alarm through a relay output for notifying user.
1.1.4 Flexible Mounting
EKI-7758F is compact and can be mounted on a DIN-rail or panel, so it is suitable for
any space-constrained environment.

3 Chapter1
1.1.5 Advanced Protection
The power line of EKI-7758F supports up to 3,000 VDC EFT protection, which secure
equipment against unregulated voltage and make systems safer and more reliable.
Meanwhile, 4,000 VDC ESD protections for Ethernet ports make EKI-7758F more
suitable for harsh environments.
1.1.6 Wide Operating Temperature
The operating temperature of the EKI-7758F is between -10 ~ 60 ℃. With such a wide
range, you can use the EKI-7758F in some of the harshest industrial environments that
exist.
1.1.7 Easy Troubleshooting
LED indicators make troubleshooting quick and easy. Each 10/100/1000 Base-TX port
has 2 LEDs that display the link status, transmission speed and collision status. Also
the three power indicators P1, P2 and P-Fail help you diagnose immediately.
