Configuring the Digi One SP Device
Overview
Note
The Digi One is used for DCS-5020 consoles and is not required
for Acom consoles.
The configuration of the Digi One™ SP serial/IP conversion module is accomplished
through the Ethernet port on the device. The configuration takes place in two phases.
The first phase is only required if the Digi One is not preconfigured, or if it was reset to a
blank configuration. This first phase is carried out using a software tool provided by Digi
International on CD-ROM. It will require that the unit is connected to the network while
being configured.
Tip
If a preconfigured Digi One module is provided (it has
preconfigured IP address labels attached) then skip to the
on page
The second phase is carried out with the browser installed on your PC (such as Internet
Explorer). You simply enter the IP address of the module you want to work on into the
browser address bar manually.

port pins change depending on the settings. Actual damage

They are EIA-232 (same as RS-232), EIA-422/485 Full-Duplex, and EIA-485 Half
Duplex. Which type of serial port is being supported is set using a small, red, 4-position
