Companies across many vertical markets are increasingly discovering the value of networking

remote electronic devices such as sensors, alarms and controllers using low-cost, low-power

ZigBee/802.15.4 wireless mesh technology. Such networks make it simple and cost-effective to poll,

monitor, adjust and control systems that previously required laborious and expensive manual

processes or extensive wiring.

Digi's ConnectPort X8 mesh gateway provides IP backhaul of mesh network traffic to a central

monitoring hub on a LAN/WAN via a secure cellular, Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection. By doing so,

devices connected within the mesh network can be monitored and managed remotely, thereby

minimizing, or even eliminating, the need to visit each device manually to collect data and verify its

operating health.

The ConnectPort X8 is a key element of Digi's Drop-in Networking solutions – a collection of

products that also includes our XBee

™

adapters, modules and bridges for connecting assorted

electronic devices to mesh networks. Together, these products provide the ability to network devices

or groups of devices where no wired networking infrastructure exists or where access to an existing

network is prohibited.

The ConnectPort X8 provides integrated ZigBee/802.15.4 support and features two onboard PCIe

modules that can be configured for cellular (3G and 2.5G options), Wi-Fi (802.11b/g), GPS or

local storage (1 Gigabyte, user-defined). Configuration of the PCIe modules is flexible and can

be defined as needed for the desired application. In addition, the ConnectPort X8 ships with one

Ethernet port, one RS-232 port for connecting serial devices, two USB ports for additional device

connectivity (e.g., camera, keyboard, memory stick, PDA) and a Sensor port to accept Digi’s

Watchport environmental sensors.

The ConnectPort X8 also features an embedded Python

engine, giving users a powerful software

tool to develop custom applications to run on the gateway. The Python environment is noted for

its simplicity and can be used to automate many monitoring, notification and device management

tasks.

Product Datasheet

The ConnectPort X8 provides reliable IP connectivity

to ZigBee

/802.15.4 mesh networks over a secure

cellular, Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection. It makes

Drop-in Networking a reality by facilitating remote

device connectivity where no wired network

infrastructure exists or where access to an existing

infrastructure is limited.
