Disable password authentication

Password authentication can be disabled as needed.

In the web interface:

1On the Main menu, click Security.

2On the Security Configuration page, check the Enable password authentication check box.

3Click Apply.

From the command line:

Issue a newpass command with a zero-length password.

Change the password for administrative user

To increase security, change the password for the administrative user from its default. By default, the administrative username is root.

Note Record the new password. If the changed password is lost, the Digi device must be reset to the default firmware settings.

In Digi devices with a single-user model, changing the root password also changes the password for Advanced Digi Discovery Protocol (ADDP). In Digi devices with the multi- user model, changing the root password has no effect on ADDP. To change the ADDP password, use enter newpass name=addp from the command line.

In the web interface:

1On the Main menu, click Security.

2On the Security Configuration page, enter the new password in the New Password and Confirm Password edit boxes. The password can be from 4 through 16 characters long and is case-sensitive. Click Apply.

3A logoff is forced immediately. Log in to the web interface using the new values.

From the command line:

Issue the newpass command.

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.
