10. Type: rpm -qa | grep dgr

11. Afer the Digi RealPort software is installed, the user may configure the 7036-P16 onto the network, if
it is not already configured. For instructions on how to perform the network configuration, see
"Configuring the 7036-P16 into the network" on page 90.
Configuring the 7036-P16 device and tty
You might need to configure the 7036-P16 as a serial device on a host server. Use the procedure in this
section to perform this task.
The task consists of the following steps:
1. Configure the 7036-P16 as a serial device on a host server installed with one of the following
operating systems:
v AIX 5L 5.2.0.75, or later
v AIX 5L 5.3.0.30, or later
v Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 4, Update 3, or later
v SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9, SP2, or later
This in effect binds the 7036-P16 to the host server.
2. Configure 7036-P16 system ports for use with Digi RealPort software.
Configuring a 7036-P16 device on an AIX host server
Assumptions:
v The target 7036-P16 and the host server are configured on an Ethernet network.
v The target 7036-P16 and the host server are attached to an Ethernet network.
v The Digi RealPort software is installed on the server.
Gather the following information:
v IP Address of the target 7036-P16: [7036-P16 IP Address]
v IP Address of the host server: [Host Server IP Address]
v Root password of target 7036-P16
Configure the 7036-P16 as a serial device on an AIX server:
1. Ensure that the 7036-P16 and the server are on the network. Ping the 7036-P16 by typing the
following command: ping -c 1 [IP Address of target 7036-P16]
If the 7036-P16 responds to the ping, then it is on the network and the user can proceed to the next
step. If the 7036-P16 does not respond to the ping, then the 7036-P16 is not on the network and the
user must perform the network configuration procedure, see "Configuring the 7036-P16 into the
network" on page 90.
2. Ensure that the Digi RealPort Software is installed on the server. Type the following command: lslpp
-l | grep digi
The response indicates that the digiasync.realport.obj file is installed.
Note: If the response indicates the Digi RealPort Software is installed then proceed to step 3. If there
is no response, then the Digi RealPort Software is not installed and the user must install the Digi
RealPort Software, see "Configuring the 7036-P16 into the network" on page 90.
