Configuration capabilities and interfaces

Disadvantages of the Digi Device Setup Wizard as an interface include:
While the wizard is available in Microsoft Windows or UNIX platforms, it
requires Microsoft Windows for full support, and the PC running Windows
usually needs to be on same network segment as the Digi device. The Unix
version of the Wizard does not include all the features of the Windows version.
The Unix version is limited to network configuration settings, and does not
allow configuring or choosing a scenario through port profiles.
Some sites disallow users from running wizards, which would prevent users at
such sites from using this interface.
While the configuration capabilities of the Digi Device Setup Wizard are
acceptable for most Digi device users, it only provides for the most common
configuration scenarios, and is not as flexible as configuring through the web
interface or the command line.
The device discovery responses can be blocked by personal firewalls, VPN
software, and certain network equipment. Disabling personal firewalls is not
always possible.
To access the Digi Device Setup Wizard, insert the Software and Documentation CD that
accompanies the Digi device in a PC’s CD drive. The Digi Device Setup Wizard will
automatically start.
The Digi Device Setup Wizard has online help, accessed from the Help button on wizard
screens.
