Supported Connections and Data Paths
Digi Connect devices allow for several kinds of connections and paths for data flow
between the device and other entities. These connections can be grouped into two main
categories:
 Network services, in which a remote entity initiates a connection to a Digi
Connect device.
 Network/serial clients, in which a Digi Connect device initiates a network
connection or opens a serial port for communication.
Following is a discussion of these connections. The intent of this information is to
illustrate how the connections are made and data is passed. This in turn may help you
better understand the effects of enabling certain features and choosing certain settings
when configuring Digi Connect devices.
Network Services
A network service connection is one in which a remote entity initiates a connection to a
Digi Connect device. There are several categories of network services:
 Network services associated with specific serial ports
 Network services associated with serial ports in general
 Network services associated with the Command-Line Interface (CLI)
