Configure serial ports
Use the Serial Port Configuration page to establish a port profile for the serial port of the
Digi device. The Serial Port Configuration page includes the currently selected port
profile for the serial port, detailed configuration settings for the serial port, dependent on
the port profile selected, and links to Basic Serial Settings and Advanced Serial Settings.
About port profiles
Port profiles simplify serial port configuration by displaying only those items that are
relevant to the currently selected profile. If the Digi Device Setup Wizard was used to
initially configure the Digi device, the wizard prompted to select a port profile.
There are several port profile choices, but not all port profiles are supported in all
products. Support of port profiles varies by Digi product. If a profile listed in this
description is not available on the page, it is not supported in the Digi product.
If a port profile has already been selected, it is shown at the top of the screen. The profile
can be changed, or retained but individual settings adjusted.
Everything displayed on the Serial Port Configuration screen between Port Profile
Settings and the links to the Basic Serial Settings and Advanced Serial Settings
depends on the port profile selected.
