Configure system settings

The System Configuration page configures system settings, including device description information, such as the device name, contact, and location, and whether SNMP is enabled or disabled and the SNMP traps that are enabled.

Device description information

A device description is a system description of the Digi device’s name, contact, and location. This device description can be useful for identifying a specific Digi device when working with a large number of devices in multiple locations.

SNMP configuration settings

Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a protocol that can be used to manage and monitor network devices. Digi devices can be configured to use SNMP features, or SNMP can be disabled entirely for security reasons. To configure SNMP settings, click the Simple Network Management Protocol link at the bottom of the System Configuration page. SNMP settings include:

Enable Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP): This checkbox enables or disables use of SNMP.

The Public community and Private community fields specify passwords required to get or set SNMP-managed objects. Changing public and private community names from their defaults is recommended to prevent unauthorized access to the device.

Public community: The password required to get SNMP-managed objects. The default is public.

Private community: The password required to set SNMP-managed objects. The default is private.

Allow SNMP clients to set device settings through SNMP: This checkbox enables or disables the capability for users to issue SNMP “set” commands uses use of SNMP read-only for the Digi device.

Enable Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) traps: Enables or disables the generation of SNMP traps.

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.
