Digi Connect WAN Family web interface
A port profile allows you to easily configure a serial port based on how you intend to use that port. By
selecting one of the pre-defined profiles, the configuration options are focused only on the settings
required for that particular profile.
The Digi Connect WAN Family supports the following port profiles:
Console Management: Manage a serial device's console port over a network connection. The
n
Console Management profile allows you to access a Digi device's console port over a network
connection. Most network devices such as routers, switches, and servers offer one or more
serial ports for management. Instead of connecting a terminal to the console port, cable the
console port to the serial port of the Digi Connect WAN Family product. Then using TCP/IP
utilities like reverse telnet, network administrators can access these consoled serial ports
from the LAN.

Custom: The Custom profile is an advanced option to allow full configuration of the serial port.
n
Use the Custom profile only if the serial port does not fit into any of the predefined port
profiles. For example, when network connections involve a mix of TCP and UDP sockets. See

DialServ: The DialServ profile allows connecting a Digi DialServ™ device to the serial port. Digi
n
DialServ is an RJ-11 phone line simulator that allows legacy devices with built-in modems to
communicate across LANs/WANs. This profile configures the Digi device to connect/tunnel
serial data to an external host when the DialServ receives an incoming call, causes the DialServ
to make outgoing calls, and tunnels TCP data from the incoming connection over the Dialserv
when TCP traffic is received on the configured ports on the Digi device.
Important
GPS: The GPS profile allows the Digi device to make use of an NMEA-0183 compliant GPS data
n
stream for location and geofencing.
Local Configuration: The Local Configuration profile allows you to sign in and access the
n
command line interface when connecting directly to a serial port on a Digi device. This profile
provides a login from the Digi device. See
Digi Connect WAN Family User Guide
