Digi Connect ES provides mission-critical serial over Ethernet connectivity for applications requiring extended electrical safety. It is the first IEC 60601/EN60601 compliant device of its kind and consists of four, eight or 16 RS-232 serial ports with galvanic isolation and a 10/100 Mbps network interface. The eight- and 16-port models offer two additional Ethernet ports for devices with a network interface, allowing the Digi connect ES to function as an Ethernet switch in addition to a serial port server. Common applications include providing Ethernet connectivity from serial devices such as ventilators, EKGs, patient monitoring systems, infusion pumps and glucose meters to a central data management system.
Galvanic isolation provides extended electrical safety. There is no electrical path from port to port, preventing a ground fault from disrupting the operation of the Digi Connect ES or of any device connected to it. Similarly, there is no electrical path for current to earth ground, ensuring no electrical shock when making physical contact with the Digi Connect ES.
Digi's patented RealPort® COM port redirector 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."
