Digi Device Setup Wizard
A wizard for configuring Digi devices that is available from the Digi Support site and on the
Software and Documentation CD shipped with each Digi device. The Digi Device Setup Wizard
is available in Microsoft Windows or UNIX platforms. It assigns an IP address for the device,
configures the device based on your description of the device environment, and determines
whether you need to install RealPort. Using the Digi Device Setup Wizard is the recommended
and preferred method for configuration.
DSR

An Internet protocol for automating the configuration of computers that use TCP/IP. DHCP can
be used to automatically assign IP addresses, to deliver TCP/IP stack configuration parameters
such as the subnet mask and default router, and to provide other configuration information.
EIA
See Electronics Industry Association.
Electronics Industry Association (EIA) and Electronics Industries Alliance (EIA)
1) The Electronic Industries Association (EIA) comprises individual organizations that together
have agreed on certain data transmission standards such as EIA/TIA-232 (formerly known as
RS-232).
2) The Electronics Industries Alliance (EIA) is an alliance of trade organizations that lobby in
the interest of companies engaged in the manufacture of electronics-related products.
encryption
The conversion of data into a form, called a ciphertext, that cannot be easily understood by
unauthorized people. Decryption is the process of converting encrypted data back into its
original form, so it can be understood. Encryption/decryption is especially important in wireless
communications. This is because wireless circuits are easier to tap than their hard-wired
counterparts.
factory defaults
The default configuration values that are set in a device at the factory.
