Network Services Settings

The Network Services Settings page shows a set of common network services that are available for Digi Connect and ConnectPort TS Family products, and the network port on which the service is running.

You can enable and disable common network services and configure the TCP/UDP port on which the network service listens. You can disable services as needed for security purposes. That is, you can disable certain services so the device runs only those services specifically needed. To improve device security, you can disable non-secure services such as telnet.

Best practice Use the default network port numbers for basic network services because the port numbers are used by most applications.

CAUTION! Exercise caution when enabling and disabling network services, particularly disabling them. Changing certain settings can render a Digi Connect device inaccessible. For example, disabling Advanced Digi Discovery Protocol (ADDP) prevents a network from discovering the device, even if it is actually connected. Disabling HTTP and HTTPS disables access to the web interface. Disabling basic services such as telnet, rlogin, and so on makes the Command-Line interface inaccessible.
