RealPort profile

The RealPort profile maps a COM or TTY port to a serial port. This profile configures a Digi device to create a virtual COM port on a PC, known as COM Port Redirection. The PC applications send data to this virtual COM port and RealPort sends the data across the network to the Digi device.

Data is routed to the serial device connected to the Digi device’s serial port. The network is transparent to both the application and the serial device.

Important: On each PC that will use RealPort ports, RealPort software must be installed from the Software and Documentation CD. and configured. Enter the IP address of the Digi deviceand the RealPort TCP port number 771.

Console Management profile

The Console Management profile allows access to a device's console port over a network connection. Most network devices such as routers, switches, and servers offer serial port(s) for management. Instead of connecting a terminal to the console port, cable the console port to the serial port of the Digi device. Then using Telnet features, network administrators can access these consoled serial ports from the LAN by addressing the appropriate TCP port.

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.
