Hello anyone.

I’m testing at the moment Port Sharing capabilities for the Digi One SP device.

From the Digi One and Port Server User’s Guide I went to configure more than a user for the serial port at the Console management option (Page 23), but I noticed that this option doesn’t exist for my DIGI ONE SP device.

Is this a firmware problem ?

Does the device support this capability ?

I saw at Redundancy in Serial-to-Ethernet Communications document that Digi One SP supports Port Sharing since December 2004.

Additionally, I think of testing this feature for the PortServer 8/16. I saw that J release supported Port Sharing. Could I have the same problem with new PortServer 8/16 units ?

Please let me know how to proceed.

Thanks in advance,
