Overview Overview
Digi Connect ES provides mission critical serial over Ethernet connectivty. It is the first IEC
60601/EN60601 compliant device of its kind and consists of four, eight or 16 galvanically
isolated RS-232 serial ports, with a 10/100 Mbps network interface and Ethernet switch
(eight-, 16-port models). Common applications include providing Ethernet connections from
serial devices such as ventilators, EKGs, patient monitoring systems, infusion pumps and
glucose meters to the central data management system.
Galvanical isolation provides extended electrical safety. There is no electrical path for
current to earth ground, ensuring no electrical shock when making physical contact with
the Digi Connect ES. There is no electrical path from port to port, ensuring a ground fault
will not affect the operation of the Digi Connect ES or the operation of any device
connected to it.
Digi Connect ES solutions offer the most robust feature set on the market. Digi's patented
RealPort technology makes it possible to establish a connection between the host and a
networked serial device by creating a local COM or TTY port on the host computer,
allowing existing software applications to work without modification. Incoming/outgoing
and Telnet sessions on each port give system administrators a high level of control over
networked serial devices. Other features include Secure Shell (SSH v2)
encryption to protect against unauthorized network monitoring or
"sniffing."
Digi International makes device networking easy by developing products
and technologies that are cost-effective and easy to use. With over 20
million ports shipped worldwide, Digi has been offering the highest
levels of performance, flexibility, and quality since 1985.
