General & Overview

What is the Digi Connect EZ WS?

The Digi Connect EZ WS is a 4-port serial-to-Ethernet server designed specifically for patient care environments. It enables serial medical devices (e.g., patient monitors, infusion pumps) to connect to hospital EMRs and downstream clinical systems via Ethernet, and it has been evaluated and found to comply with IEC 60601-1 3rd Edition requirements.

Is the Connect EZ WS IEC 60601-1 certified?

The Connect EZ WS has been EVALUATED AND FOUND TO COMPLY with IEC 60601-1 3rd Edition. It is considered out of scope for full IEC 60601-1 certification due to its nature as a connectivity device, but an information test report demonstrating compliance can be provided upon request.

What other safety certifications does the Connect EZ WS hold?

IEC/EN/UL 62368, CSA 22.2, RCM (Australia/New Zealand), CE, FCC Part 15 Class A, IC, AS/NZS CISPR 22, EN 55035, EN 55032, RoHS3.

What are the key features for healthcare deployments?

4x RS-232/422/485 software-selectable RJ-45 serial ports; Power over Ethernet (802.3af PoE Class 0) for flexible placement without additional power sources; Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) client and AP mode; Digi RealPort technology for COM/TTY port emulation; TACACS+, LDAP, enterprise RADIUS authentication; built-in Python scripting; and Digi TrustFence security.

What is Digi RealPort technology?

RealPort creates a virtual local COM or TTY port on the host computer that communicates transparently with a networked serial device. This allows legacy software to communicate with serial medical equipment over Ethernet without application modification, with optional encryption for added security.

Does the Connect EZ WS support PoE?

Yes. The Connect EZ WS supports 802.3af Power over Ethernet (Class 0), allowing it to be powered directly from a compliant Ethernet switch or PoE injector—eliminating the need for a separate power source and simplifying placement near patient care equipment.

Connectivity & Specs

What are the Ethernet and serial port specifications?

Ethernet: 2x RJ-45 10/100/1000 Mbps. Serial: 4x RJ-45 RS-232/422/485 software-selectable. Console: 1x USB Type C. Wi-Fi: Wi-Fi 6 (802.11a/b/g/n/ac/ax), 2.4/5 GHz, WPA3/WPA2 personal and enterprise.

What is the operating temperature range of the Connect EZ WS?

0-50°C (32-122°F) operating; 0-70°C storage; 5-95% relative humidity non-condensing. Source: Connect EZ WS Datasheet

How is the Connect EZ WS powered?

Via 100-240 VAC (C8 connector) or 802.3af PoE. Power consumption: 0.25A RMS max, 14W typical.

Management & Security

How is the Connect EZ WS managed?

Via Digi Remote Manager (cloud) or Digi On-Prem Manager (local/air-gapped). Local management via WebUI (HTTP/HTTPS) and CLI (Telnet, SSH). Digi Navigator tool available for discovery and configuration. SNMP v3 also supported.

Is an on-premises management option available for healthcare environments that cannot use cloud services?

Yes. Digi On-Prem Manager (included with LifeCycle Assurance On-Prem) provides full device management without cloud connectivity—critical for air-gapped or highly regulated healthcare network environments. LCA On-Prem is available in 1- to 5-year subscriptions.

Warranty & Support

What is the warranty and support for the Connect EZ WS?

5-year product warranty on the base device. 1-year LifeCycle Assurance included (cloud via Digi Remote Manager or on-premises via Digi On-Prem Manager), with 24x7 expert support.
