Web interface
A web interface is provided as an easy way to configure and monitor Digi devices. Configurable
features are grouped into several categories. These categories vary by product; examples include
Network, Serial Port, GPIO (for all products except Digi Connect SP, Digi Connect Wi-SP),
Alarms, System, Remote Management, UsersSecurity. Most of the configurable features are
arranged by most basic settings on a page, with associated and advanced settings accessible from
that page. Serial-port configurations are classified into port profiles, or configuration scenarios that
best represents the environment in which the Digi device will be used. Selecting a particular port
profile configures the serial port parameters that are needed. For some features, it may be desirable
to establish a basic configuration using the Digi Device Setup Wizard, and then fine-tune the
configuration using the web interface.
To access the web interface, enter the Digi device's IP address or host name in a browser's URL
window. The main menu of the web interface is displayed. For more information, see
"Configuration through the web interface" on page 58. The web interface has a tutorial, accessed
from the Home page, and online help, accessed from the Help link on each page.
Not all settings provided by the command-line interface are displayed in the web interface.
However, the configuration settings in the web interface should be sufficient for most users. If
necessary, settings can be modified later from the command line.
