Features
This is an overview of key features in Digi devices. Firmware features are covered in more detail in
the next three chapters. Hardware specifications are covered in Chapter 7, "Specifications and
certifications".
User interfaces
There are several user interfaces for configuring and monitoring Digi devices, including the
following. Some of these user interfaces can be customized.
 Device Management™
 The Digi Device Setup Wizard, a wizard-based tool for assigning an IP address to a Digi
device, minimally configuring it, and installing RealPort software on a PC or server.
 A web-based interface for configuring, monitoring, and administering Digi devices.
 An optional Java-applet interface.
 A command-line interface available via local serial port, telnet or SSH.
 Configuration through Remote Command Interface (RCI) over the serial port.
 Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
Configurable network services
Access to network services can be enabled and disabled. This means that a device’s use of network
services can be restricted to those strictly needed by the device. To improve device security, non-
secure services can be disabled. Network services that can be enabled or disabled include:
 Advanced Digi Discovery Protocol (ADDP): can enable or disable ADDP, but cannot
change its network port number.
 RealPort
 Encrypted RealPort
 HTTP/HTTPS
 Line Printer Daemon (LPD)
 Remote Login (rlogin)
 Remote Shell (rsh)
 Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
 Telnet
In the web interface, access to network services is enabled and disabled on the Network Services
page of Network Configuration. For more information, see "Network services settings" on page 64.
In the command-line interface, network services are enabled and disabled through the set service
command. See the Digi Connect Family Command Reference for the set service command
description.
