DIGI INTERNATIONAL ANNOUNCES MANAGEABLE STACKABLE ETHERNET HUBS IDEAL FOR
MIDRANGE NETWORK CONFIGURATIONS

NEW STACKHUBS PROVIDE EASY, AFFORDABLE WAY TO EXTEND NETWORKS

March 28, 1996 -- MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., -- Digi International Inc., a leading
provider of connectivity solutions, today announced two new Stackable hubs
-- the 4510H and the 4511H -- that provide flexible workgroup and
departmental networking solutions. These hubs are designed to work
separately or in groups to meet users current network connectivity needs
as well as accommodate future network growth.

The new stackhubs feature 24-10BaseT (UTP) managed or unmanaged ports,
along with two configurable ports that house Digi's 4300M Micro Modules.
As many as 10 hubs can be stacked together, providing support for up to
260 ports. The 4511H StackHub supports the SNMP protocol with both in-band
management over TCP/IP and IPX protocols as well as out-of-band management
through a rear panel EIA-232 serial port. One 4511H managed hub can manage
an entire stack of 4510H unmanaged hubs. The 4510H can easily be upgraded
with the Digi 4620U SNMP module which provides the full management
capability of the 4511H Stack Hub. In addition, users can install a second
SNMP module in a stack, providing back-up capabilities for mission
critical applications.

Both the 4510H and the 4511H feature status and diagnostic LEDs for fast
network condition assessment. The 4511H is supplied with an additional
indicator for convenient, at-a-glance SNMP monitoring. In addition, the
4511H offers port pairing, which allows the hubs to detect faulty links
and automatically activate a back-up port, eliminating data loss and
ensuring network reliability.

"These new stackable hubs extend the breadth of Digi's product line by
providing a range of end-to-end solutions for networking workgroups," said
Gary L. Deaner, Digi International vice president and general manager of
the LAN Connect business unit. "These and other Digi LAN connectivity
products help networking professionals change and grow their networks to
meet the need for increased performance and flexibility."

Currently available worldwide, the 4510H StackHub has a U.S. list price of
$1,199, the 4511H StackHub lists for $1,699, and the 4620U SNMP module
lists for $549. All Digi products are covered under a standard five-year
warranty that includes free technical support.
