How To Program Digi Mara2
Welcome to the Digi One SP configuration process. Please follow these steps
carefully, and the process will run smoothly.
Connect the Digi One SP to the same physical subnet as the computer you
are using, in order to configure the Digi One SP.
Insert the Digi One SP CD and the program starts automatically. If you do not
have the CD to hand, please go to http://www.aislive.com/digi-discover.exe.
If your computer runs Windows XP or an earlier version, you can run the
software immediately.

Tick <Store extra byte in TCP Keepalive packets>
