This driver communicates with the EtherLite-32 and makes the Digi
switch’s serial connections appear as though they were direct serial
connections to the master system. Thus, the master node communicates
with the slave node via a serial port communications program, such as cu
on HP-UX or the dinc program supplied with the Digi switch.

Examples for accessing save node #2:

cu -l/dev/ttyn01 -s 9600

/usr/local/bin/dinc /dev/digi/sv2

The Digi EtherLite-32 has its own IP address and is connected to the
10/100 hub. RJ45 ports are connected to serial port 1 of each slave node
via an RS-232 adapter.
