7. Check Automatically connect to a ... Be sure to specify the following:
• Hostname or IP address that will be the destination
• Service
• Destination TCP port number, which determines the type of connec-
tion for this user (such as 23 for Telnet)

TCP socket communication enables serial devices to communicate with
each other over an Ethernet network as though they were connected by a
serial cable.
This section describes how to use the web interface to configure this Digi
device for the following:
• Inbound connections, that is, connections that are initiated by the
device on the other side of the network
• Outbound connection, that is, connections that are initiated by the
device connected to the serial port

Procedure for Configuring Inbound and Outbound Socket Communication

1. Access the web interface by entering the device server IP address in a
browser's URL window.
2. Log on to the device server as root. The default password is dbps.
3. Click Serial Ports.
4. Click the port number you wish to configure.
5. Click Change Profile.
6. Select TCP Sockets and click Apply.
7. Enter the parameters for the appropriate connection. Use the context
sensitive Help for additional information.
The Digi One and PortServer TS devices are devices capable of UDP
multicast. UDP multicast is used to send serial data over an Ethernet cable
to one or many hosts at the same time. UDP is a connectionless protocol,
meaning UDP does not need a protocol, but is sending data without any
form of acknowledgement or error correction. Up to 64 devices can receive
a UDP multicast at one time. Both the transmitting and receiving devices
must be configured properly for UDP multicast to work.
This section describes how to use the web interface to configure this Digi
device for the following:
• Inbound connections, that is, connections that are initiated by the
device on the other side of the network
• Outbound connection, that is, connections that are initiated by the
device connected to the serial port
