5In the Identity setting, specify how the VPN client and its security settings

will be identified to the remote VPN endpoint. This value must match the value provided by the remote VPN endpoint. You can either specify an identity string or use the mobile IP address as the entity.

–Use the following as the identity:

Identity string: Identifies the VPN client with the remote VPN endpoint. The default is macaddress@digi.com. You can also specify the identity as:

A Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN): Usually the FQDN of the Digi

Connect device. For example: www.myhost.com

A User FQDN: Similar to standard FQDN but with a user name. The

format is the same as an email address. For example: user@myhost.com

A Network Address (IPv4): A standard IP address (version 4) that uses the standard IPv4 dotted format (four numeric values between 0 and 255 separated by periods). For example: 10.0.0.1

–Use the Mobile IP Address as the identity: The IP address of your mobile network interface will automatically be used as the VPN identity.

6Specify the General Security Settings for the VPN connection.

–Connection Mode: The method in which Internet Key Exchange (IKE) phase one negotiations is completed. IKE phase one negotiations are used to establish the various security settings and establish a secure channel for subsequent messages.The default is Main Mode.

Main Mode: Processes phase one negotiations with three 2-way exchanges between the VPN client and remote VPN endpoint. The exchanges are meant to match Internet Key Exchange Security Associations (SA) between peers to provide a protected pipe for subsequent protected ISAKMP exchanges between the peers. The first exchange is responsible for negotiating and agreeing upon the algorithms and hashes/keys used to secure the Internet Key Exchange communications. The second exchange uses a Diffie-Hellman exchange per the specified Diffie-Hellman group to generate nonces and shared secret keys in order to sign and prove identities. The third exchange verifies the identity per the specified Identity.

X4, X8, 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.
