Digi Device Discovery utility
The Digi Device Discovery utility:
n
Locates Digi devices on a network
n
Allows you to open the web interface for discovered devices
n
Allows you to configure network settings and reboot the device
Download the Digi
.
In addition to quickly locating devices, the utility also lists device information, such as the device
address, firmware version, and whether it has been configured. It runs on any operating system that
can send multicast IP packets to a network. It sends out a User Datagram Protocol (UDP) multicast
packet to all Digi devices on the network. Digi devices that support ADDP reply to the UDP multicast
with their configuration information. Even Digi devices that do not yet have an assigned IP address or
are misconfigured for the subnet can reply to the UDP multicast packet and appear in the device
discovery results.
Note
Personal firewalls, Virtual Private Network (VPN) software, and certain network equipment can
block device discovery. Firewalls block UDP ports
2362
and
2363
that ADDP uses to discover devices.
You can enable or disable access to the ADDP service, but you cannot change the network port
number for ADDP.
