Automatic detection
- Enable or disable automatic detection of devices
Use detected port title
- Enable if you want the Digi CM to automatically use the
results of the detection mechanism to populate the port title. Disable if you
want the default port title. If you choose Disable, you can still use the alarm

Port title
- Manually entered or automatically populated title of the port.
The Digi CM allows access to a port by using only the number of the port title,
