Model 577 Operating Manual 21
Windows Firewall will block the Digi Device Discovery from being able to see the unit. It is advisable to turn the
Windows Firewall off while performing these tasks. When the utility sees the Digi device, it will display the
currently assigned IP address in the list.
8.4.3 Setting the 577 to Raw TCP Protocol
Note* Only follow this process if Raw TCP communications are desired, direct communications with a terminal
program is the factory default method.
From this point, a web interface can be opened, allowing access to configuration options for the Digi module.
Simply double
–click the highlighted IP address. If you are required to enter a username and password, they are
as follows:
Username: “root”
Password: “dbps”
You should not see the Di
gi Connect ME Configuration and Management screen. Select “Serial Ports”. If a named
port is already displayed (Port1, for instance), click on the named port, and check the box next to the Enable Raw
TCP Sockets selection. The default socket port is 2101. Click Apply
Select “Basic Serial Settings”. Select the following Properties:
Baud Rate: 115200
Data Bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop Bits: 1
Flow Control: None
Click on Apply.
If a static IP address is desired, this change can be made from the web interface. Please note, however, that if the
IP address is changed such that it is incompatible with the LAN, all communication including access to the
module’s settings (including the IP address!) will no longer be possible over the LAN. If this happens, a crossover
cable must be used to access the Digi module’s settings (again using Digi Device Discovery).
Temporarily set the PC
’s IP address to be compatible with the Digi module’s IP address to get the PC and pulse
generator to ‘see’ each other over the crossover cable.
