6. From the web interface, you can then set a new SSID to match the intended production network's SSID and security options.
7. Click Apply. The device will join that network on the next reboot.
Method 2: Configure the Digi Connect Wi-SP through the serial port.
This method requires a DB-9 null-modem cable and a serial terminal application on your computer, such as Hyperterm or PuTTY.
1. On the Digi Connect Wi-SP, set all four DIP switches to the up position.
2. Configure your serial terminal software to use the following serial settings:
baud rate = 9600 data bits = 8
3. Connect the null modem cable to the computer and the Digi Connect Wi-SP serial port.
4. A login prompt for the device appears. Enter the default username and password: root and dbps.
5. Enter the set wlan command to set the Wi-Fi interface parameters. For example:
#>set wlan channel=11 ssid=testssid authentication=wpa_psk encryption=ccmp psk=1234567890
Note For a detailed description of the set wlan command, see the Digi Connect Family Command Reference. For a video guide to serial port configuration, see
www.digi.com/videos/digi-connect-wi-sp-serial-port-configuration.
The device connects to the Wi-Fi network. You can further configure the device through the web interface. Use the Digi Discovery Utility or Digi Port Authority - Remote to
discover devices on your network and open the web interface.
1. In the list of discovered devices, select the Digi Connect Wi-SP device.
2. Configure the IP address if necessary.
3. Open the Digi Connect Wi-SP web interface. In the Device Discovery Utility, click Open web interface. In Digi Port Authority-Remote, click Device Configuration.
4. A login prompt for the web interface appears. Enter the default username and password: root and dbps.
Your Digi Connect SP/Wi-SP device is now connected to the network and configured for basic network connectivity. Go to sections 5 and 6 to configure the serial port as
needed.
5 Configure DIP switches
Digi Connect SP and Digi Connect Wi-SP have a set of DIP switches on the underside of the device for setting the EIA mode for serial communications. Set these DIP switches
according to your serial device requirements (EIA-232/422/485). See the table for the device server pinouts.
Up/On
Down/Up
DB-9 pin EIA-232
1 DCD
2 RxD
3 TxD
4 DTR
5 GND
6 DSR
7 RTS
8 CTS
9 RI
Shell GND
Note If switch 4 is up, the termination resistor is connected. If the switch is down, the termination resistor is not connected.
6 Connect the serial end device
1. Connect the serial end device to the serial port.
2. In the web interface, under Configuration, click Serial Ports. Configure serial port settings using port profiles. Port profiles are a
defined set of serial port parameters for a particular use. The web interface and user guide contain descriptions of the port
profiles. For Digi Connect SP/Wi-SP products, Digi recommends the RealPort profile. For help in configuring the device for use with
other port profiles, see the Digi Connect Family and ConnectPort TS Family User Guide.
To configure ports to use the RealPort profile:
a. On the Serial Port Configuration page, click the port to be configured.
b. Click Change Profile.
c. In the list of profiles, select the RealPort profile.
d. Click Apply.
