Hardware features

A summary of hardware features, including power-supply information, is in "Hardware specifications" on page 220.

Network interface features

A detailed list of network interface features is in Chapter 5, "Specifications and certifications". See also the data sheet for your Digi product.

Configurable network services

Access to network services can be enabled and disabled. This means that a device’s use of network services can be restricted to those strictly needed by the device. To improve device security, non-secure services, such as Telnet, can be disabled.

Network services that can be enabled or disabled include:

Advanced Digi Discovery Protocol (ADDP): can enable or disable ADDP, but cannot change its network port number.

RealPort

Encrypted RealPort

HTTP/HTTPS

Line Printer Daemon (LPD)

Remote Login (rlogin)

Remote Shell (rsh)

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)

Telnet

In the web interface, access to network services is enabled and disabled on the Network Services page of Network Configuration. For more information, see "Network services settings" on page 82. In the command-line interface, network services are enabled and disabled through the set service command. See the Digi Connect Family Command Reference for the set service command description.

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.
