Configure alarms

Use the Alarms page to configure device alarms or display current alarms settings. Device alarms are used to send email messages or SNMP traps when certain device events occur. These events include certain data patterns being detected in the data stream, and, for Digi Cellular Family products, alarms for signal strength and amount of cellular traffic for a given period of time.

Alarm notification settings

On the Alarms page, the Alarm Notification Settings control the following:

Enable alarm notifications: Enables or disables all alarm processing for the

Digi Connect device.

Send all alarms to the Remote Management server: enables or disables sending of alarm notifications to the Connectware Manager server.

Enabling this setting sends all alarm notifications to the Connectware Manager server. Turn this option on if your Digi device is managed by Connectware Manager. Enabling this option is useful because it allows all alarms to be monitored from one location, the Connectware Manager. Enabling this option also allows Digi devices to send alarms to clients that would otherwise be unreachable from the Digi device, either because the Digi device is behind a firewall or not on the same network as the alarm destination.

Disabling this settings disables sending of alarm notifications to the Connectware Manager server. Leave this option off if you do not manage your devices with Connectware Manager or if you wish to have alarms sent from the device, for example, because an SNMP trap destination is local to the device, not the Connectware Manager server.

For more information on Connectware Manager, see the Connectware Manager Getting Started Guide, and the Connectware Manager online help.

Mail Server Address (SMTP): Specifies the IP address of the SMTP mail server. Ask your network administrator for this IP address.

From: Specifies the text that will be used in the “From:” field for all alarms that are sent as emails.

X2 specifications

Digi X2 and X1 are advanced cellular IoT (Internet of Things) gateways that provide an innovative solution for industrial applications, smart cities, and remote asset management. Both devices equip users with the means to connect, monitor, and control a wide variety of assets without the limitations traditionally imposed by wired connections.

Digi X2, designed for complex IoT demands, features dual SIM slots which ensures uninterrupted connectivity through automatic failover. This makes it particularly valuable for critical applications where connectivity is non-negotiable. Additionally, the X2 is equipped with LTE-M and NB-IoT support, enabling extensive coverage in areas where other networks may struggle.

On the software side, the Digi X2 supports Digi Remote Manager, a powerful tool that allows users to monitor, manage, and deploy devices remotely. This cloud-based management system simplifies the overall management of IoT devices by providing real-time insights, easy configuration changes, and over-the-air updates, saving both time and resources.

In contrast, the Digi X1 serves as an entry-level model that balances performance with cost-effectiveness. It supports LTE connectivity, providing a reliable connection suitable for a variety of applications. The X1 also offers seamless integration with existing networks, allowing users to leverage their current infrastructure while expanding their IoT capabilities.

Both Digi X2 and X1 are designed with ruggedness in mind, making them suitable for deployment in harsh environments. They are engineered to withstand extreme temperatures and vibrations, ensuring reliability even in demanding industrial settings.

Another notable characteristic of these devices is their extensive input/output (I/O) capabilities, which enable them to interact with sensors, machines, and other types of devices. This versatility allows for a broad spectrum of applications, from monitoring temperatures in remote locations to tracking assets across geographic boundaries.

In summary, the Digi X1 and X2 provide robust, reliable, and scalable solutions for modern IoT implementations. With their advanced cellular connectivity, cloud management capabilities, and durable design, they are poised to enhance connectivity across industries, driving efficiencies and enabling smarter operations. Whether for critical industrial applications or efficient asset management, Digi's offerings are tailored to meet the diverse needs of today's IoT landscape.
