Configuring the Digi One™ SP Option
Initial Configuration Using the Digi Software Tool
The first phase of software configuration for the Digi One SP module is carried out using a
configuration software tool provided with the units on CD-ROM by Digi International.
Before starting this procedure you will need to obtain a permanent IP address from the IT
department responsible for the network that the paging terminal will be installed on.
The configuration of the Digi One SP module can be programmed on a different network
than the one it will eventually be installed in (like the network in your shop) as long as the
IP address assigned is also available on that network. If this is not the case, then you will
have to perform this work “on-site”. Fortunately, the steps do not take very long and
almost any PC connected to the network will have adequate resources to carry out the task.
(Runs Windows 2000 or Windows XP and has a CD-ROM drive)
For the purposes of the following example, the IP address was chosen assuming a network
numbered 10.0.1.22 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. Table 2 gives the rest of the
settings that will be used for the serial/IP module.
Table 2: Initial Programming for the Digi One SP Module
Note In any actual installation, the fixed IP address used for the serial/IP
module must be assigned by the IT department with responsibility
for the network on which the link is being installed.
Note If you try to assign an IP address to the Digi unit which is not valid
on the network that the configuration PC is part of, the Digi will
refuse to accept the configuration. Make sure that the IP address of
your PC and the IP address assigned to the Digi are compatible.
Note These IP settings may very well not work on your network.
