About Configuration Methods
Use this section to learn about the different configuration methods.
Configure the Digi Device with the Wizard
Simply follow the prompts and choose your configuration with the wizard
available on the CD. Choose either a Microsoft Windows or UNIX platform.
The wizard will configure your device based on your description of your
environment and determine (for you) if you need to install RealPort. This is
the recommended and preferred method for configuration.
Configure the Digi Device from an Attached Terminal
With this method, you cable a terminal or PC running terminal emulation
software to a device server port and then use the command line to enter
commands. This method allows you to configure all features. It requires,
however, that you and the device server be in the same location. Some
users find it advantageous to configure the device server IP address this
way and then use one of the other methods for the rest of the configuration.
Configure the Digi Device from a Telnet Session
With this method, you Telnet to the device server and use the command
line to complete configuration tasks. The only disadvantage to this method
is that you have to configure the device server with an IP address before
you can Telnet to it.
Configure the Digi Device from the Web Interface
The great advantage to this method is ease of use. This method requires
that you configure the IP address before you can access the configuration
from the web interface, however, some features cannot be configured this
way.
