    IP protocol support All Digi ConnectPort XFamily devices include an on-board TCP/IP stack with a built-in web server. Supported protocols vary by specific product and include, unless otherwise noted: Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)

  • Page 29: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (Dhcp)

    The Auto-IP protocol automatically assigns an IP address from a reserved pool of standard Auto-IP addresses to the computer on which it is installed. Digi devices automatically obtain their IP addresses from a DHCP server. If the DHCP server is unavailable or nonexistent, Auto-IP assigns the device an IP address.

    When the product is used at locations with high ACmains voltages (220 Vac and above), there is a potential for large in-rush currents, large enough to trip one or both of the mains fuses. Therefore, Digi international is upgrading the fuse type to one that better resists these in-rush current conditions. For replacement instructions, see Replace Connect ES time-lag fuses.
