About Configuring a Digi Device from a Remote Host
This section discusses remote configuration, that is, downloading a configuration file to
a Digi One RealPort or PortServer TS.
When To Use Remote Configuration
Typically, you use remote configuration when you have several devices with similar configurations and want to keep a master configuration on a remote host, from which you can easily create variations for downloading to individual
devices.
Rules for Editing a Configuration File
Here are some rules for editing a configuration file on a remote host:
-
Edit the file with any text editor.
-
Each line of the file must start with a set command, such as set user or set line. In other words, do not let commands wrap to the next line if your editor supports this function.
-
When downloading a configuration file, the Digi device does not notify you of command syntax errors. It simply ignores the command, which means your configuration will not work as expected.
