7.2.5Network Integration Configuration
For network integration, you will need a free IP address for the COM server, the subnet mask plus the IP address for the gateway. This information can be obtained from your administrator if neces- sary.
∙Start the "Digi Device Discovery" tool.
∙The tool searches the network for Digi modules. The modules found are displayed. If several units are found, please select the unit to be configured using the MAC address. This can be found on the Digi module sticker on the COM server. If no modules are detected, check your network and your firewall settings. Run the search again using "Refresh view".
∙Select the required unit. You can enter the necessary network parameters using the right mouse button + "Configure network settings".
∙Use "Save" and "Reboot" to apply the settings and complete the installation.
∙Exit the "Digi Device Discovery" tool.
∙You can use the "ping" command to test whether the COM server can be reached on the network.
7.2.6Configuration of the Virtual COM Port
Communication with the COM server takes place via a virtual COM port, which is implemented by means of a RealPort driver. In order to do this, the RealPort driver needs to be installed and configured.
∙Start the RealPort driver installation process. For this purpose, the COM server must be connected to the network and the network parameters must be set.
∙The installation program searches the network for Digi mod- ules. The modules found are displayed along with the config- ured IP address and MAC address. If several units are found, please select the unit to be configured using the MAC address and select "Next". The MAC address can be found on the Digi module sticker on the COM server. If no modules are detected, check your network and your firewall settings. Run the search again using "Refresh view".
∙In the "Describe the Device" window, you can make RealPort settings. This is where you need to select the COM port via which the application is to communicate later. All other settings can be left as per the factory settings.
∙Select "Finish" to complete the installation.
The application can communicate via the set COMx port with a baud rate of 115.2 kB as standard. 9600 kB is also possible as an alternative. Between these two transmission rates, the COM server has an autobaud detection function.
