For IT managers and network admins juggling multiple devices across sprawling infrastructure, manual configuration is a pain point. Digi Navigator™ solves that with streamlined Digi RealPort® deployment — fast, automated, and scalable.
Here’s how to get it done in six simple steps.
Step 1: Launch Digi Navigator
Start by installing the latest version of Digi Navigator, which you can download here.
It’s fast, lightweight, and optimized for quick deployment — even in bandwidth-constrained environments.
Pro tip: Keep it on a USB drive for field work. Setup takes minutes.
Step 2: Discover Devices on the Network
Let Digi Navigator auto-discover both legacy and modern Digi devices:
The software recognizes connected devices instantly — no manual input or IP hunting.
Step 3: Configure RealPort
Select your primary device and open the RealPort configuration panel.
-
Select the Device you wish to configure. If necessary you can change it's IP address.
-
Configure the device for RealPort, if required and Configure the RealPort driver on the PC to talk to it.
Your existing applications will now be able to talk to connected devices as if they were directly connected to your computer via the created COM port.
- Save the configuration to use as a template for other devices.
Step 4: Copy Config to Server
Digi Navigator enables server-side config management.
Use the “Copy to Server” feature to store the RealPort setup centrally.
You can now deploy that config across multiple devices without repeating steps.
Why This Matters
- Speed: Configure 10 — or 100 — devices in a fraction of the time.
Great for rollouts, upgrades, and maintenance windows.
- Consistency: Avoid human error. Uniform settings across all devices = fewer support calls.
- Legacy compatibility
Still running older Digi hardware? No problem. Digi Navigator works across generations.
- Cost-effective automation
Fewer truck rolls. Less manual work. More uptime.
Digi Navigator makes RealPort deployment easy, efficient, and scalable.
If you manage connected devices at scale, this tool cuts time, reduces friction, and simplifies everything.
