Device Properties

I.P. Address

Is the IP address of the Digi device. Use the IP address that the Digi device was assigned.

TCP Port

Is the TCP port used for communication with the Digi device. The Digi device must use the same TCP port. Usually the default (771) works. If the application that communicates with the Digi device cannot use this TCP port, specify an alternative here and in the Digi device configuration.


Port Properties

Bits per Second

Defines the line speed to use for this port. Use the value required by the peripheral connected to the port. The default is 9600 bits per second.

Data Bits

Defines the number of data bits per character to use for this port. Use the value required by the peripheral connected to the port. The default is 8.

Parity

Defines the parity scheme to use for this port. Use the value required by the peripheral connected to the port. The default is None.

Stop Bits

Defines the number of stop bits to use for this port. Use the value required by the peripheral connected to the port. The default is 1 stop bit.

Flow Control

Defines the flow control scheme to use for this port. Use the value required by the peripheral connected to the port. The default is Hardware flow control.

Restore Defaults

Restores all port properties to default values.

Advanced

Provides access to the Advance Properties page.


Properties

Description

Is a text string that can be used to provide a user-friendly name for the device.

I.P. Address

Is the IP address of the Digi device. Use the IP address that the Digi device was assigned.

TCP Port

Is the TCP port used for communication with the Digi device. The Digi device must use the same TCP port. Usually the default (771) works. If the application that communicates with the Digi device cannot use this TCP port, specify an alternative here and in the Digi device configuration.

Send Keepalive Packets

Is a mechanism for keeping a TCP connection up all the time, even when there is no network traffic between the RealPort driver and the Digi device.

Restore Defaults

Restores the configuration settings on this page to defaults.


Advanced Settings

Force Baud Rate To

Is the bits per second setting for the port if a non-standard rate is required. Setting this field overrides the Bits per Second field on the Ports Settings page. The range is from 1 to 921600 bits-per-second.

Complete Write Request Immediately

Checking this field means that the driver confirms the completion of a write request as soon as data is written to the buffer. The default is to wait until the data is sent out the port.


Renumber Ports

Starting COM Number

Is the first number in the port-renumbering scheme. If, for example, you choose 10 as the starting COM number, port 1 of the Digi device will be COM10, port 2 COM11, and so on.
