The EKI-9316 Gigabit Managed Ethernet Switches are designed for rigorous mission critical applications, such as factory automation, ITS, and process control. The 4 Gigabit Ethernet ports allow great flexibility to build up a Gigabit redundant ring and a Gigabit uplink. The EKI-9316 are equipped with 12 Gigabit Ethernet ports and up to 4 fiber optic ports, making them ideal for upgrading an existing network to Gigabit speed or building a new,full Gigabit network. The X-Ring with RSTP, STP and MSTP support, increases system reliability and the availability of your network. The EKI-9316 are designed especially for communication demanding applications, such as video and process monitoring, or intelligent transportation systems, all of which can benefit from a scalable backbone construction.

EKI-7657C supports 7 Fast Ethernet ports and 3 Gigabit combo ports with 2 x Digital Input and Digital Output ports. To create reliability in your network, the EKI-7657C 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. Furthermore, EKI-7657C also supports many advanced network standards to optimize network performance, ease maintenance issues, and secure network safety.
