Digi Connect® EZ: New generation of device servers

With the Digi Navigator™ discovery and configuration tool and integration of the Digi Accelerated Linux (DAL) operating system, Connect® EZ leapfrogs outdated serial-interface designs to provide an easy-to-deploy, reliable and innovative solution that ensures longevity and manageability for networking applications in manufacturing, retail, medical and telecommunications.

"Companies are not replacing their equipment, they are updating the way they communicate with it," said Markus Schumacher, senior account manager for Digi Hardware at BRESSNER Technology. "The Connect® EZ modernizes serial connectivity with LTE and Wi-Fi options, improved manageability, security, intelligence and performance, while providing seamless connectivity for existing infrastructures."

From physical port support to network speeds and processing power, Digi Connect® EZ expands the capabilities of Digi PortServer® and Digi One® products. The device servers are designed for organizations that have serial devices for machine-to-machine applications or need to connect additional devices via Wi-Fi, cellular or Ethernet. The hardware enables serial machines to communicate efficiently across a variety of network types and tune data framing and packaging, while allowing devices and applications to operate over networks without requiring modification. Digi Connect® EZ provides the following software-enabled benefits:

• Intelligence – via Digi’s DAL operating system
• Management and scalability – via Digi Remote Manager® and Digi Navigator
• Visibility – via Digi’s patented RealPort®
• Security – via Digi’s built-in TrustFence®
• Connectivity – via cellular connectivity and Wi-Fi options

The Digi Connect® EZ devices can now be purchased from BRESSNER Technology.
