FAQ
What type of devices can I connect to the Digi One IA Device Server?
The Digi One IA Device Server connects to any serial device with a compatible serial interface, including industrial controllers, point-of-sale systems, laboratory instruments, medical equipment, building automation devices, and legacy serial printers. It provides transparent serial-to-Ethernet conversion, allowing these devices to communicate over standard IP networks without modifying their existing serial communication protocols.
What network speeds does this device server support?
The Digi One IA Device Server supports 10/100Base-TX Fast Ethernet, providing network connectivity at both 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps speeds over twisted pair cabling. This industry-standard networking ensures compatibility with most modern network switches and routers while delivering sufficient bandwidth for serial data transmission requirements in typical deployment scenarios.
How many devices can I connect to a single Digi One IA Device Server?
Each Digi One IA Device Server provides one serial port, allowing connection to a single serial device. The device creates a dedicated bridge between that serial device and the Ethernet network through its single RJ-45 port. For connecting multiple serial devices to a network, multiple device servers would be required, with each providing individual serial-to-Ethernet conversion for its connected device.
What type of cabling does this device server require?
The Digi One IA Device Server uses twisted pair Ethernet cabling (typically Category 5e or higher) for network connectivity through its RJ-45 port. For the serial connection, standard serial cables compatible with the connected device's interface are required. The device supports twisted pair media as specified for its 10/100Base-TX Fast Ethernet implementation.
What are the physical dimensions of the Digi One IA Device Server?
The Digi One IA Device Server measures 4.70 inches in height, 0.90 inches in width, and 4 inches in depth (119.38 mm x 22.86 mm x 101.60 mm). With an approximate weight of 63.8 grams, this compact and lightweight design allows installation in space-constrained environments where traditional device servers might not fit, making it suitable for various industrial, commercial, and institutional applications.
