L'EKI-2525/2528 prend en charge une solution Fast Ethernet. L'alimentation est conçue avec une entrée redondante de +12 ~ 48 VCC, et est sécurisée avec un double mécanisme de protection : la protection contre l'inversion de polarité de l'alimentation et un fusible réarmable de protection contre les surintensités. La première tolère le câblage d'alimentation inversé tandis que la seconde sécurise le système contre les courants de surcharge. Lorsque l'alimentation redevient normale, l'EKI-2525/2528 reprendra automatiquement son fonctionnement. Chaque port de l'EKI-2525/2528 dispose de 2 LED pour afficher l'état du lien, la vitesse de transmission et l'état des collisions. Il fournit également une sortie de relais pour une alarme événementielle. En cas de panne de courant, la LED intégrée activera l'alarme pour notifier les administrateurs. Les ingénieurs peuvent simplement vérifier l'état du matériel en vérifiant la LED, et le dépannage est ainsi facile et rapide. L'EKI-2525/2528 est livré avec un boîtier métallique compact qui est certifié IP30 pour protéger contre les environnements industriels poussiéreux.
