### Information to Gather

Before you install RealPort, you need to determine:

- The hostname or IP address to assign each unconfigured Digi device.
- The number of ports for each Digi device. Include any Xem PORTS Module ports that are attached to the Digi device.
- Determine the link speed between the host machine and the Digi device if a slow WAN link (for example, a 56K leased line) connects them.
