RealPort configuration settings
Applications > RealPort displays a page for configuring the RealPort application. Settings on this page include:
•
RealPort Settings
Enable Keep-Alives: Enables sending of RealPort keep-alives. These keep-alives are messages inside the

RealPort protocol, sent approximately every 10 seconds, to tell whoever is connected that the connection is
still alive. RealPort keep-alives are different from TCP keep-alives, which are done at the TCP layer.
Note that RealPort keep-alives generate additional traffic which may be undesirable in situations where traffic
is measured for billing purposes.
Enable Exclusive Mode: Exclusive mode allows a single connection from any one RealPort client ID to be

connected only. If this setting is enabled and a subsequent connection occurs that has the same source IP as
an existing connection, the old existing connection is forcibly reset under the assumption that it is stale.
•
Device Initiated RealPort Settings:
Index: An empty list means that no device initiated RealPort connections have been configured

Host or IP Address: The IP address or DNS name of the client to connect to.

Port: The network port to connect to on the client. The default port for VNC servers is 8771.

Retry Time: The amount of time in seconds to wait before reattempting a failed connection to the client.

Ekahau Client™
For Digi devices with Wi-Fi capability, clicking Ekahau Client displays a page for configuring Ekahau Client device-
location software.
The Ekahau Client feature provides integrated support for Ekahau's Wi-Fi device-location solution, called the Ekahau
Positioning Engine, on the Digi Connect Wi-ME, Digi Connect Wi-EM, and Digi Connect Wi-SP products. Ekahau offers a
complete access point vendor-independent real-time location system for wireless LAN devices that is capable of
pinpointing wireless LAN devices such as the Digi Connect products, laptops, PDAs, or other intelligent Wi-Fi enabled
devices. The solution provides floor-, room- and door-level accuracy of up to 3.5 feet (1 m). The patented Ekahau
positioning technology is based on simple signal-strength calibration maps, and enables customers to fully leverage
an existing wireless LAN infrastructure without any need for proprietary hardware components.
