Chapter 8 Configuring Autoconnection 37
8. Specify a TCP port to use for this connection. If this is a connection to a
serial port on another Digi device and you have not changed the base
socket service, use the following conventions to specify a TCP port
number:
9. If you want the autoconnection to launch immediately, choose Force
DCD.
10.Choose Binary Mode.
11. When you complete the configuration process, choose Submit.
Note: For more flexible base socket configuration, see socket parameter in
set config in Digi One/PortServer TS Command Reference.
Configuring UDP Multicast
The Digi One and PortServer TS devices are devices capable of UDP
multicast. UDP multicast is used to send serial data over an Ethernet cable
to one or many hosts at the same time. UDP is a connectionless protocol,
meaning UDP does not need a protocol, but is sending data without any
form of acknowledgement or error correction. Up to 64 devices can receive
a UDP multicast at one time. Both the transmitting and receiving devices
must be configured properly for UDP multicast to work.
This section describes how to use the web interface to configure this Digi
device for the following:
• Inbound connections, that is, connections that are initiated by the
device on the other side of the network
• Outbound connection, that is, connections that are initiated by the
device connected to the serial port
Procedure for Configuring Outbound Socket Communication
1. Access the web interface by entering the device server IP address in a
browser’s URL window.
2. Log on to the Digi One/PortServer TS as root. The default password is
dbps.
3. From the main menu, choose Configure > Port.
4. From the Port configuration screen, set the Device type to Printer,
adjust other serial port communication parameters as required by the
connected device, and then choose Advanced.
Note: The serial parameters for two connecting devices must match meaning if one
device is set for 9600 bps, the other device must be set for the same rate.

Telnet 2000 + port number To specify port 1, use 2001
Raw connection 2100 + port number To specify port 2, use 2102
