ery”. When the utility opens, it scans the LAN
looking for Digi Ethernet modules. It may take a minute after plugging in or
powering the Ethernet module before the LAN negotiates the connection with the
Digi module. Hit “Refresh View” in the left column after a minute or so if the utility
fails to see the unit when you start it. In some situations it is possible that the
Windows Firewall will block the Digi Device Discovery from being able to see the
unit. It is advisable to turn the Windows Firewall off while performing these tasks.
When the utility sees the Digi device, it will display it in the list (Figure 1).

LAN.
From this point, a web interface can be opened, allowing access to configura-tion
options for the Digi module. If you are required to enter a username and
password, they are as follows:
Username: “root”
Password: “dbps”
If a static IP address is desired, this change can be made from the web interface.
Please note, however, that if the IP address is changed such that it is
incompatible with the LAN, all communication including access to the module’s
settings (including the IP address!) will no longer be possible over the LAN. If this
happens,
a crossover cable must be used to access the Digi module’s settings
(again using Digi Device Discovery).
Temporarily set the pc’s IP address to be
compatible with the Digi module’s IP address to get the pc and pulse generator to
‘see’ each other over the crossover cable.
