Configure Digi devices

Configuration through the Digi Device Setup Wizard
The Digi Device Setup Wizard configures Digi devices according to one of several port profiles, or
configuration scenarios that characterize the manner in which the Digi device will be used.
Depending on the Digi device, the wizard configures several other features.
To run the wizard, insert the Software & Documentation CD packaged with your Digi device in
your computer’s CD/DVD drive. The first screen of the wizard is displayed. Click Next.
Discover the device
The Discover Device screen displays a list of Digi devices that have been discovered on the
network. Locate the Digi deviceto configure, and double-click it.
Device discovery responses can be blocked by personal firewalls, VPN software, and certain
network equipment in place. Firewalls will block UDP ports 2362 and 2363 that the Advanced
Digi Discovery Protocol (ADDP) uses to discover devices.
Network settings
The Configure Network Settings screen configures IP address settings for the Digi device. Either
choose to obtain the network settings automatically using DHCP, or manually enter them.
Port profiles
The Digi Device Setup Wizard configures a serial port based on the way the port will be used. This
is done by associating a port profile with the port. Port profiles are a defined set of serial port
parameters for a particular use. There are several port profiles; the complete list is below, but
support can vary among Digi devices. If a profile is not displayed on the selection screen in the
wizard, the Digi device does not support that use of the serial port.
 RealPort: Maps a COM or TTY port to the serial port.
 Console Management: Accesses a device’s console port over a network connection.
 TCP Sockets: Allows a serial device to communicate over a TCP network.
 UDP Sockets: Allows a serial device to communicate using UDP.
 Serial Bridge: Configures one side of a serial bridge. A bridge connects two serial
devices over the network, as if they were connected with a serial cable.
 Local Configuration: For connecting a terminal to the serial port to access the
device console port.
 Modem Emulation: Configures the serial port to act as a modem.
 Custom: An advanced option to allow full configuration of the serial port. This profile
displays all settings associated with the serial port.
Note There is also a port profile for to configure a serial port to be used in an Industrial
Automation application. Currently, however, this Industrial Automation port profile is
selectable from the web interface’s Serial Port settings pages, not the Digi Device
Setup Wizard.
