Hardware reset thresholds

Hard reset the modem module after the following number of consecutive failed connections: Enables or disables a hard reset of the cellular modem module after the specified number of failed connection attempts.This value can be a number between 1 and 255. The default is 3.

Power-cycle the device after the following number of consecutive failed connections: Enables or disables a power-cycle of the Digi device after the specified number of failed connection attempts. This value can be a number between 1 and 255. The default is 0, or off.

Link integrity monitoring settings

Enable Link Integrity Monitoring using the test method selected below: Enables or disables the link integrity monitoring tests. If this setting is enabled, the other Link Integrity Monitoring settings may be configured and are used to verify the functional integrity of the mobile connection. The default is off (disabled).

There are three tests available:

Ping Test

TCP Connection Test

DNS Lookup Test

You can use these tests to demonstrate that two-way communication is working over the mobile connection. Several tests are provided because different mobile networks or firewalls may allow or block Internet packets for various services. Select the appropriate test may be selected according to mobile network constraints and your preferences.

The link integrity tests are performed only while the mobile connection is established. If the mobile connection is disconnected, the link integrity tests are suspended until the connection is established again.

For the link integrity tests to provide meaningful results, the remote or target hosts must be accessible over the mobile connection and not through the LAN interface of the device (if it has one). That is, the settings should be configured to guarantee that the mobile connection is actually being tested.

The link integrity test settings may be modified at any time. The changes are used at the start of the next test interval.

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.
