About the Configuration Menu
The configuration menu enables authorized users to configure the Digi 
Passport unit with the same functionality as is available with the web 
interface, except for creating custom menus.
Access the Configuration Menu
The configuration menu is available through a Telnet or SSH session to the 
root user, system administrator, or port administrator. (Port administrator 
can only change serial port parameters.) 
1. Telnet into the Digi Passport unit.
• If logging in as root, username root, password dbps. By default, the 
root user is connected from a Telnet session to the Linux command 
line. 
• If logging in as admin, the configuration menu is automatically 
displayed.
2. At the command prompt, enter configmenu. The configuration menu 
follows the layout of the web interface.
Navigating in the Configuration Menu
To choose items from the configuration menu, enter the number of the 
menu item. To move back a menu, press the ESC key. Sometimes only 
one menu item is presented; however, that single menu item has two or 
more options that have to be configured.
Saving Changes
The save command, [s]ave, saves changes to flash memory only.
