Configuring the Adapter

Prerequisites

You must install the DataFire SYNC driver to perform this procedure (see Installing the Driver). The Digi configuration wizard starts automatically when the driver software is installed.

Note: For information about the configuration fields on any screen, choose Help.

Procedure

1. The Digi configuration wizard guides you through the setup process. The wizard's default values for each line protocol produce a configuration that works for most sites.

   Note: The wizard presents configuration parameters for each line on the SYNC adapter in sequence. You must go through the entire sequence for all lines until the wizard displays the Done screen. If you exit the wizard before completing the sequence, it does not save your changes.

   When the wizard displays the Done screen, choose Finish to save the configuration and exit the wizard. The Digi configuration utility is still active after you exit the wizard.

2. You can perform the following operations within the Digi configuration utility:
   • To view configuration parameters, expand the SYNC adapter lines displayed in the configuration tree to expose configured entities (such as line protocols and channels). Choose an entity in the tree to display its basic parameters.
   • To change configuration parameters, choose a configured entity in the tree, then choose Properties to display all of its configurable parameters.
3. When you finish configuring the adapter, choose OK to exit the configuration utility. Before returning control to Windows, the utility installs additional driver components to support the logical devices, protocols, and circuit types you configured. You may see some messages about Windows activities displayed during this automated process.
