Serial Ports Configuration - Digi Connect Series User Manual

Configure the device using the web interface
n
Duplex Mode: The mode the Digi device uses to communicate on the Ethernet network.
Specify one of the following:
half: The device communicates in half-duplex mode.
l
full: The device communicates in full-duplex mode.
l
auto: The device senses the mode used on the network and adjusts automatically.
l
The default is half. If one side of the Ethernet connection is using auto, the other side can set
the duplex value to whatever is desired. If one side uses a fixed value (for example, half-
duplex), the other side has to use the same.
n
MDI: The connection mode for the Ethernet cable.
Auto: Enables Auto-MDIXmode, where the required cable connection type (straight through or
crossover) is automatically detected. The connection is configured appropriately without the
need for crossover cables to interconnect switches or connecting PCs peer-to-peer. When it is
enabled, you can use either type of cable and the interface automatically corrects any
incorrect cabling. For this automatic detection to operate correctly, the "speed" and "duplex"
options must both be set to "auto."
MDI: The connection is wired as a Media Dependent Interface (MDI), the standard wiring for
end stations.
MDIX: The connection is wired as a Media Dependent Interface with Crossover (MDIX), the
standard wiring for hubs and switches.
TCP keepalive settings
The DHCP server assigns these network settings, unless they are manually set here.
n
Idle Timeout: The period of time that a TCP connection has to be idle before a keep-alive is
sent.
n Probe Interval: The time in seconds between each keep-alive probe.
n
Probe Count: The number of times TCP probes the connection to determine if it is alive after
the keep-alive option has been activated. The connection is assumed to be lost after sending
this number of keep-alive probes.
WiFi Interface settings
Digi products with Wi-Fi capability display this setting:
n Maximum transmission rate: The maximum transmission rate that the device will use, in
megabits per second. The complete range of transmission rates is available on all devices
except the ConnectPort X2 - XBee®to Wi-Fi model. For that model, the allowed transmission
rates are: 1, 2, 5.5, 11.
