Prerequisites:
This document assumes that the DigiOne IA RealPort has been configured with an IP Address and is accessible on the TCP/IP network.  In this scenario, the RealPort driver should also be installed.
If the RealPort driver has not been installed, it can be downloaded at www.digi.com before continuing.

 2.  From the Communications drop down menu, select Configure Drivers.                                                                                             
     

 
3.  From the drop down list of Available Driver Types, select RS232 DF1 devices and click Add New…
    
4.  Provide a name for the new driver.  In the following example, AB_DF1-DOIARP was used.  Click OK
     when finished.
    

5.  From the Comm Port drop down box select the appropriate COM port.
     NOTE: This is the COM port assigned to the Digi One IA RealPort during the RealPort driver install.
     In the following example, the Digi One IA RealPort was assigned to COM4.         
   

 
6.  Click the Auto-Configure button.  If the DF1 device is connected, this function should return with the
     message Auto Configure Successful!  The remaining configuration options in this dialog box should 
     automatically be set for the device connected.  Click OK.
   

7.  The driver configuration is now complete.  The screen shot below is showing that the driver is running
     successfully.  Click Close.
   

 
8.  When back to the main RSLinx setup page the newly installed and configured RS232 DF1 Driver
     should indicate that the attached DF1 device has been found.  You have now successfully
     configured your Digi One IA RealPort with RSLinx.
