port on a workstation. Use the Ethernet cable packaged with the Digi CM unit and attach the DB-
9 adapter. The arrow in the following graphic points to the Console Port.

Set up a terminal emulation program, such as HyperTerminal, using the following port

Disaster recovery
The Digi CM unit provides a disaster recovery procedure in the event the configuration data is
destroyed or corrupted. The Digi CM unit automatically restores a corrupted configuration file
system to the factory default settings. However, if the Digi CM unit fails to boot in spite of being reset
to the factory default settings, the firmware can be restored by using the Boot Loader program.
