Configuration through the command line
Configuring a Digi devicethrough the command-line interface consists of entering a series
of commands to set values in the device. The Digi Connect Family Command Reference
describes the commands used to configure, monitor, administer, and operate Digi devices.
Access the command line
To configure devices using commands, first access the command line. Either launch the
command-line interface from the last page of the Digi Device Setup Wizard or use the
telnet command. Enter the telnet command from a command prompt on another
networked device, such as a server, as follows:
#> telnet ip-address
where ip-address is the IP address of the Digi device. For example:
#> telnet 192.3.23.5
If security is enabled for the Digi device, (that is, a username and password have been set
up for logging on to it), a login prompt is displayed. If the user name and password for the
device are unknown, contact the system administrator who originally configured the
device.
Verify device support of commands
To verify whether a Digi devicesupports a particular command, online help is available.
For example:
help displays all supported commands for a device.
? displays all supported commands for a device
set ? displays the syntax and options for the set command. Use this command
to determine whether the device includes a particular “set” command variant to
configure various features.
help set displays syntax and options for the set command.
set serial ? displays the syntax and options for the set serial command.
help set serial displays the syntax and options for the set serial command.
