Setup Overview

This section provides an overview of the setup process.

Step A: Plan

Before beginning setup, consider the following:

• How to assign an IP address to the Digi device’s Ethernet interface,

which can be accomplished in a number of ways. See "Configuring

the IP Address" on page 11.

• How to configure serial ports. A key consideration is whether to use

RealPort. Other considerations include the type of peripheral that

will connect to the port and the peripheral’s cabling requirements.

See "Configuring Ports for RealPort" on page 15 and the online

RealPort driver documentation and Cable Guide, both of which are

on the Access Resource CD.

• The various ways that your Digi device can be configured. See

"About Configuration Methods" on page 9 and "Configuration Pre-

requisites" on page 10 for more information.

Step B: Set Up the Hardware

1. Connect the device to power and to the network.

2. Connect peripherals to serial ports. See the Cable Guide on the Access

Resource CD.

Step C: Install and Setup Digi Port Authority-Remote

Digi Port Authority-Remote is a utility that provides one of the ways to

configure an IP address and also provides port monitoring. See the Digi

Port Authority-Remote Device Monitor Setup Guide, which is on the

Access Resource CD.

Step D: Configure an IP Address

There are a number of ways to configure an IP address. See "Configuring

the IP Address" on page 11 for more information.

Step E: Configure Ports

See the following for more information:

• "Configuring Ports for RealPort" on page 15

• "Configuring Ports for Printers" on page 19

• "Configuring Ports for Modems" on page 23

• "Configuring Ports for Terminals and Computers" on page 27
