Mobile connection settings

Mobile connection settings configure how the mobile connection is established and maintained.

Re-establish connection when no data is received for a period of time: Inactivity timeout: Whether the mobile connection will be disconnected and re-established after no data has been received over the link for the specified amount of time, in seconds.

Digi SureLinksettings

The Mobile Connection Settings configure Digi SureLink™ settings for a Digi device. SureLink ensures that a Digi device is in a state where it can connect to the mobile network, and they can be used to monitor the integrity of the established mobile connection.

There are two groups of SureLink settings:

Hardware Reset Thresholds: These settings can be configured to clear any error states that were resident in the Digi device’s cellular module, so the device can once again connect to the network, if the connection is lost. It does this by first resetting the cellular module after a default or specified number of consecutive failed connection attempts, and then resetting the Digi device after a default or specified number of failed consecutive connection attempts. Each of these connection-failure settings can be disabled as well.

Link Integrity Monitoring settings: These settings can be configured to perform a selected test to examine the functional integrity of the network connection, and take action to recover the connection in the event that it is lost.

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.
