Alarm conditions

To configure an alarm, click on it. The configuration page for individual alarms has two sections:

Alarm Conditions: For specifying the conditions on which the alarm is based, serial data pattern matching, signal strength (RSSI), or data usage.

Alarm Destinations: For specifying how the alarm is sent, either as an email message or an SNMP trap, or both, and where the alarm is sent.

Alarm conditions

The Alarm Conditions part of the page is for specifying the conditions on which the alarm is based. Alarm conditions include:

Send alarms based on serial data pattern matching: Click this radio button to specify that this alarm is sent when the specified serial data pattern is detected. Then specify the following:

Serial Port: The serial port to monitor for the data pattern. This field is displayed for devices where more than one serial port is available.

Pattern: An alarm is sent when the serial port receives this data pattern. Special characters such as carriage return carriage return (\r) and new line (\n) in the data pattern can be included.

Send alarms based on average RSSI level below threshold for amount of time: Send alarms based on the average signal strength falling below a specified threshold for a specified amount of time.

RSSI: The threshold signal strength, measured in dB (typically -120 dB to -40 dB).

Time: The amount of time, in minutes, that the signal strength falls below the threshold.

Send alarms based on cellular data exchanged in an amount of time:

Data: The number of bytes of cellular data.

Time: The number of minutes.

Cell Data Type: The type of cellular data exchanged: Receive data, Transmit data, or Total data.

Digi X4, X8, X2 manual Alarm conditions

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.
