Overview

Getting started with the Digi Connect ME Integration Kit is as easy as:

  1. Installing the software
  2. Connecting and configuring the hardware
  3. Running your existing application or a provided sample application.
Follow the steps and links in this Getting Started guide and you'll quickly become familiar with the Digi Connect ME product and its integration kit.



Installing the Software

If you haven't installed the software from the CD, you should do that now:
Insert the CD. The CD should automatically launch the setup wizard, but if it doesn't, open the Windows Explorer and browse to the CD. Choose SetupME.exe to start the installer.
Some parts of the software setup are optional, and you may not have installed these components. You can run the setup wizard again if you decide to add any or all of these options. To install the optional software using the setup wizard, choose the Advanced install and pick the software to install from the components dialog. Optional software includes:



Connecting and Configuring the Hardware

The hardware for the Digi Connect ME Integration Kit includes:
Connect the hardware using the following steps:
  1. Locate the socket for the ME module on the development board. Plug the module into the socket with the RJ-45 connector facing out from the development board.
  2. Connect one of the Ethernet cables to the Digi Connect ME module. If you are connecting directly to a network card on your PC, use the cross-over Ethernet cable. If you are connecting to a hub or switch, use the straight-through Ethernet cable.
  3. If you have equipment that you want to use with the Digi Connect ME module, and if it includes a serial communications port, connect it to serial port 1 (labeled P2) on the development board using one of the DB-9 serial cables.
  4. Connect the power supply to the development board.
  5. Visually confirm that the board is running and connected to the network. The power LED on the development board and the orange network link LED on the ME module should be lit.
Configure the device. The integration kit includes a device discovery program that locates Digi Connect ME modules on the network and allows you to set an IP address.
  1. Select Digi Device Discovery from the Programs/Digi Connect Integration Kit section of the Windows Start menu. You should see a Digi Connect ME device listed in the window. Verify that its MAC address matches the MAC address label provided with the Digi Connect ME module.
  2. If an IP address is shown for the module, a DHCP server provided an IP address automatically. If you don't want to use DHCP, or if no IP address is shown, you will need to set a static IP address. If the module isn't already highlighted in the window, click on it to choose it. Choose Configure Network Settings in the Device Tasks window of the application. Enter the IP address, subnet mask, and optionally, the gateway, in the dialog that pops up. Save the settings.
  3. If you changed the IP address of the device, wait a few seconds for it to restart, then refresh the view in the Digi Device Discovery application (choose Refresh view in the Other Tasks window). Confirm that the IP address shown is correct.
  4. Choose Open web interface in the Device Tasks window. A web browser window will open and the configuration applet for the module will be displayed. If the browser does not have the correct Java plug-in enabled, there may be a delay before the main page is displayed. Installing the Java JRE (as described in the Installing Software section) will eliminate the initial delay of finding, downloading, and installing the plug-in as the page is loading.
  5. The Digi Connect ME is now installed. You can browse the configuration applet running in the browser window, or continue to the Running Applications section of this guide.


Running Applications & Communicating with the Connect ME

No plan survives first contact with reality. To be bulletproof, you must be adaptable. : Always have a Plan B, C, and D.

Becoming bulletproof isn’t about building walls so thick that nothing hurts. That’s not strength; that’s isolation.

Some critics have noted that the self-help sections can occasionally feel overwhelming, with one reviewer describing the detailed instructions as a "sea of how-tos". Others wished for more personal anecdotes and fewer prescriptive sections. However, even these critics acknowledge the value of the book's core insights and the unique authority of its author.

: Redirect an opponent’s adversarial energy through empathy and professional composure rather than meeting force with force.

: Notice if your heart races or your breathing gets shallow.

In a world defined by unpredictability, the pursuit of security often focuses outward—better locks, higher walls, or more digital encryption. However, in Becoming Bulletproof

: Recognize when your body is in Fight, Flight, or Freeze mode to dampen unhelpful reactions during high-pressure moments like salary negotiations or public speaking.

: When a massive disappointment strikes, give yourself exactly 24 hours to feel the anger, sadness, or frustration completely. Once the timer expires, pivot entirely into strategic problem-solving.

Most people live in a state of reaction . The phone rings with bad news; they spiral. The boss springs a last-minute deadline; they panic. The car breaks down; their day is ruined.

“What if I told you that the people who guard world leaders don’t rely on guns alone — but on a mental framework that makes them virtually unshakeable ? Here’s what ‘becoming bulletproof’ actually means, from someone who lived it.”

Here are a few ways to properly format that text, depending on what you need it for. The original text appears to be a file name or a search query with typo ("secre") and formatting symbols ("+").

True resilience means facing your flaws. Fixing your weaknesses makes you less targets for exploitation.

In Secret Service firearm training, agents are taught a foundational rule: when under fire, never stand still. The physical spot where an attack or crisis begins is referred to as Remaining static on the X makes you an easy target.

Pay close attention to what people omit. If you ask a direct question and receive a long, convoluted narrative instead of a simple "yes" or "no," your radar should go up. Command the Room

To develop a strong network, you need to prioritize building relationships with people who inspire, motivate, and challenge you. You need to be willing to listen, learn from others, and offer value in return. You need to nurture your relationships through regular communication, shared activities, and mutual support.
