Introduction
The Digi Device Setup wizard
The Digi Device Setup Wizard is a wizard, for configuring Digi devices. It is provided on
the CD shipped with each product. It assigns an IP address for the device, configures the
device’s serial port parameters based on a selected configuration scenario called a port
profile, and determines whether RealPort software needs to be installed.
Digi Cellular Family products have a predefined IP address of 192.168.1.1 for the
Ethernet port (see "Default IP address" on page 64). Instead of using the Digi Device
Setup Wizard to obtain an IP address for the Ethernet port, you can simply connect to the
Ethernet port of the Digi device, and directly access the web interface for device
configuration. For these products, consider the Digi Device Setup Wizard as an alternative
method for obtaining an IP address.
Using the Digi Device Setup Wizard provides these advantages:
 For most users, the Digi Device Setup Wizard interface provides adequate
device configuration.
 Device configuration is made easier by providing a set of port profiles which
configure a serial port based on the way the port will be used. Each port profile
displays the relevant settings for the configuration.
 The Digi Device Setup Wizard is intended to be run only once, and is not
installed on a user’s PC.
