Chapter 1 Introduction
About This Guide
Purpose The purpose of this guide is to enable developers to integrate
the Digi One EM into other devices, enabling these devices to
make use of the Digi One EM’s rich networking features.
Audience This document is written for developers tasked with
integrating Digi One EM device servers into other devices.
Scope This document provides the information required for electrical
integration of the Digi One EM into another device. It does
not address how to configure or administer the device server
or how to write applications to use its functionality. These
topics are covered in other documents in the library.

Introducing the Digi One EM
Product Overview
The Digi One EM is part of the Digi One Family of single port
device servers that provide simple, reliable and cost-effective
network connections for serial devices. The Digi One EM
provides fully transparent serial device connectivity over
industry-standard Ethernet connections and allows both
equipment manufacturers and systems integrators to
network-enable products at a fraction of the time and cost
required to develop a custom solution. It is a highly flexible
and compact single component solution with a robust on-
board TCP/IP stack and 10/100 Base-T Ethernet support.
From medical systems to building control and industrial
automation, in virtually any application where embedded
serial connectivity over Ethernet is needed, the Digi One EM
is the ideal choice, delivering high-performance functionality.
Cautions • To guard against damage to the Digi One EM due to elec-
trostatic discharge (ESD), do not remove it from its pro-
tective packaging until you have been properly grounded.
To ground yourself, put the wrist strap on (included in the
package) and then attach the clip to a metal surface.
• Input voltage for the Digi One EM must be in the range of
5VDC to 9VDC.
