n
Duplex Mode: Themode theDigi device usesto communicate on theEthernet network.
Specify one of the following:
l
half: The device communicates in half-duplex mode.
l
full: Thedevice communicates in full-duplex mode.
l
auto: The device sensesthe modeused on thenetwork and adjustsautomatically.
Thedefault ishalf. If one sideof the Ethernet connection is using auto, the other side can set
the duplex valueto whatever is desired. If one side uses a fixed value(for example, half-
duplex), the other side has to use the same.
n
MDI: The connection modefor the Ethernet cable.
Auto: EnablesAuto-MDIXmode, where the required cable connection type (straight through or
crossover) isautomatically detected. Theconnection isconfigured appropriately without the
need for crossover cables to interconnect switchesor connecting PCs peer-to-peer. When it is
enabled, you can use either typeof cable and theinterface automatically corrects any
incorrect cabling. For this automatic detection to operate correctly, the “speed” and “duplex”
optionsmust both be set to “auto.”
MDI: The connection is wired asa Media Dependent Interface (MDI), the standard wiring for
end stations.
MDIX: Theconnection iswired asa Media Dependent Interface with Crossover (MDIX), the
standard wiring for hubs and switches.
TCP keepalive settings

n
Idle Timeout: The period of time that a TCPconnection has to be idle before a keep-alive is
sent.
n
Probe Interval: The time in secondsbetween each keep-alive probe.

Probe Count: The number of timesTCPprobesthe connection to determineif it isaliveafter
the keep-alive option hasbeen activated. The connection isassumed to be lost after sending
thisnumber of keep-alive probes.
WiFi Interface settings
Digi productswith Wi-Fi capability display thissetting:
n
Maximum transmission rate: The maximum transmission rate that the device will use, in
megabits per second. The complete range of transmission rates is available on all devices
except the ConnectPort X2 - XBee®to Wi-Fi model. For that model, the allowed transmission
ratesare: 1, 2, 5.5, 11.
