Modern, secure serial connectivity that boots in seconds, configures in minutes, and runs for years.
Digi Connect EZ
Digi offers a range of external terminal serial servers that provide serial to Ethernet connectivity – promising high performance connectivity for demanding automation applications. Digi serial servers connect critical equipment to applications to provide 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32 port serial over Ethernet options.
Most companies are not replacing their equipment – they are updating the way they talk to it. Digi Connect® EZ modernizes operational infrastructure with expanded network connectivity and functionality for today’s applications.
Digi Connect EZ is a click-to-connect solution with 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 and 32 serial ports, software-selectable for RS-232/422/485 communication, as well as optional LTE, Wi-Fi and industrial specifications (C1D2). It takes only a few minutes to configure with intelligent, use case-based options so that you can quickly install without having to modify your equipment or applications.
Optimized Remote Management
Remote management of network equipment is essential for distributed enterprises and data centers, across the globe. This crucial feature of an IoT system provides data insights, remote troubleshooting and predictive maintenance capabilities that deliver the ultimate ROI for Internet of Things deployments.
With Digi’s serial connectivity solutions, network administrators can monitor and control critical equipment from any location, reducing the need for physical presence and enabling rapid response to issues. Key benefits include:
- Secure remote access: Digi solutions offer advanced security protocols, ensuring that communications are protected against unauthorised access. This is crucial for maintaining the integrity and confidentiality of your network infrastructure.
- Real-time monitoring: Administrators can receive real-time updates on equipment status, allowing for early detection of anomalies utilising Digi remote Manager® (Digi RM). This proactive approach helps in preventing potential issues before they escalate into significant problems.
- Reduced downtime: By enabling swift and efficient intervention, Digi solutions help minimise downtime and maintain operational continuity. This is especially important for mission-critical applications where every minute of downtime can result in substantial losses.
Reliable Serial Communication
Serial communication is a vital method for connecting and controlling a wide range of industrial and network equipment. Digi solutions, such as Digi Connect EZ device and terminal servers, are designed to provide reliable and flexible serial connectivity.
These device and terminal servers are highly robust and secure solutions with industrial temperature ratings and C1D2 certification, and support a range of industry standard and device-specific protocols using serial tunnelling, TCP/UDP connections or Digi’s patented RealPort® COM port redirector for remote native COM port access. The main advantages include:
- Compatibility and integration: Digi solutions are compatible with a broad range of equipment and protocols, facilitating their integration into existing infrastructures. This versatility makes it easier for businesses to adopt Digi solutions without needing extensive modifications to their current setups.
- Efficiency and performance: With high communication speeds and low latency, Digi solutions ensure optimal performance for critical applications. Whether it’s in a manufacturing plant or a remote data center, Digi’s technology ensures smooth and uninterrupted data flow.
- Simplified management: Digi’s intuitive user interfaces and centralised management tools simplify the administration of complex serial networks. This ease of management reduces the learning curve for IT staff and improves overall operational efficiency.
