Use the autodiscovery protocol to discover a device

If a Digi device is directly connected to a computer or connected to a network with no DHCP server, you can assign an IP address to the Digi device so that the device is automatically discovered.

  1. Make sure Digi Navigator is installed and the Connect EZ is powered and connected to your local network or computer with an Ethernet cable.

  2. Launch the Digi Navigator.

  3. Click Filters from the green toolbar to expand the toolbar and display the filter options.

  4. In the Setup IP Filters section, click the enable button for the 169.254.100.100 option.

  5. Click Filters at the bottom of the expanded toolbar to minimize the toolbar and hide the filters.

  6. Log into the device and set a unique IP address for the device that is appropriate for the network on which it will be deployed. See Define a static IP address.
