The Home page

The left side of the Home page has a menu of choices that display pages for configuration, management, and administration tasks, and to log out of the web interface. This chapter focuses on the choices under Configuration and Application. For details on monitoring Digi devices and the choices under Management, see Chapter 3, "Monitor and manage Digi devices". For details on the tasks under Administration, see Chapter 4, "Administration tasks".

Clicking Logout logs out of a configuration and management session with a Digi device. It does not close the browser window, but displays a logout window. To finish logging out of the web interface and prevent access by other users, close the browser window. Or, log back on to the device by clicking the link on the screen. After 5 minutes of inactivity, the idle timeout also automatically performs a user logout.

The Getting Started section has a link to a tutorial on configuring and managing Digi device.

The System Summary section notes all available device-description information.

Configuration pages

The choices under Configuration in the menu display pages for configuring settings for various features, such as network settings, mobile settings, and serial port settings.

Some of the configuration settings are organized on sets of linked screens. For example, the Network Configuration screen initially displays the IP Settings, and provides links to Network Services Settings, Advanced Settings, and other network settings appropriate to the Digi device.

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.
