Digi Connect EZ – Modern and secure serial connectivity
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. It is designed to meet the demands of a wide range of critical serial applications, including connecting to automation, robotics control, centralized device management, data acquisition and point-of-sale equipment.
Various security features and programmability
Digi Connect EZ is a click-to-connect family of products with 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 or 32 serial ports. Digi Connect EZ 8 is available with RS-232 or software-selectable for RS-232/422/485 communication, LTE, Wi-Fi, digital/analog IO and Ethernet switch options. It takes only a few minutes to configure with intelligent, use case-based options that you can quickly install without having to modify your equipment or applications.
Digi simplifies key security requirements for critical infrastructure and distributed systems with enhanced access control, management and configuration capabilities. Digi Connect EZ 8 and built-in Digi TrustFence® give your security and operations teams peace of mind against evolving security threats with encrypted connections, centralized authentication, VPN support and scalable security updates.
Digi Connect EZ 8 supports the widest range of industry standard and device-specific protocols using serial tunneling, TCP/UDP connections or Digi’s patented RealPort® COM port redirector for remote native COM port access.
