Wi-Fi Settings
Obtain the various Wi-Fi configuration settings for your wireless network from your IT administrator or

For more information on the various settings, read the “WiFi LAN Settings”, “WiFi security settings”, and
“WiFi 802.1x authentication settings” sections in the Configure Digi devices chapter of the Digi Connect
Family User’s Guide document. Also refer to the description of the set wlan command in chapter 2 of the
Digi Connect Command Reference document. These documents are on the Veriteq vNet and Digi Device
Drivers V1.0.4 (or newer) CD (Software Installation menu | Documentation Index | Digi Documentation
Index), or the latest versions can be downloaded from the Digi web site at
www.digi.com/support/supporttype.jsp?tp=3 .

Terminal Emulation Program
If you will be installing a Digi Connect Wi-SP device, ensure that your computer has a terminal emulation
program installed:
1. Look in your Start menu, in Accessories | Communications, to see if HyperTerminal is
available.
2. If HyperTerminal is not installed, and you are running Windows Server 2003, you might be able to
install it with these instructions:
a. Open the Windows Control Panel.
b. Double-click on Add or Remove Programs.
c. Click Add/Remove Windows Components (on the left).
d. Double-click Accessories and Utilities, then double-click Communications.
e. Select the checkbox for HyperTerminal.
f. Follow the instructions to complete the Windows Components Wizard.
3. If neither HyperTerminal nor any other terminal emulation program is installed (most likely
because you are running Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, or Windows 7), you will need to
install a third-party program. Refer to the Installing a Third-Party Terminal Emulation Program or
Telnet Client section.
