Configure RealPort mode using the Digi Navigator

You can configure RealPort mode for the IX30 using the Digi Navigator application. When you install Digi Navigator on your computer, the RealPort application is automatically installed as well.

With Digi Navigator, you can set all serial ports on the device to RealPort mode, and then also enable the RealPort service. The COM ports on your laptop are also configured. These processes ensure that RealPort is configured on the device and on your computer.

Operating system

The Digi Navigator can only be installed on a computer with a Windows OS. If you are using Linux, you can manually install and configure RealPort without Digi Navigator. For the Linux installation process, refer to the Get started: Install RealPort for LINUX in the RealPort Installation User's Guide.
