The Main Screen

The main screen of the Digi RealPort Manager is used to manage the Digi devices registered with the RealPort driver. It lists all of the currently configured Digi devices in the central window, and provides buttons and menu options to manipulate these Digi Devices.

Menu Field	Description
RealPort ID	The RealPort ID must be one or two alphanumeric characters used to designate your TTY devices for RealPort. This id must be unique to your system. An underscore character may also be used for an ID character. An example for a RealPort device name where the letters rp are used would be: TTYrp01
address	The address may be specified as an IP number, or IP name. No attempt is made to validate this address, nor to connect to the specified address during the installation.
ports	This field is an integer indicating the number of device files which should be created for this Digi Device. This does not have to match the physical number of ports, but physical ports beyond the number specified will not be available. The maximum port count allowed is 64.
IP Port	This is the Digi Device IP port number. Normally this should be left at the default.
Access Mode	Access Mode sets the file protection mode for any device files created.
Owner	This field sets the user ID of the file owner for any device files created. The value must be an integer.
Group	This field sets the group ID of the file owner for any device files created. The value must be an integer.
Link Speed	Link Speed sets the link speed string. The default is auto, and can be used under most circumstances. See the drpd(8) man page for information on the custom speed parameters.
