Advanced remote management settings

The default settings for remote management usually work for most situations. These Advanced settings are used in advanced situations. They are used to configure the idle timeout for the connection between the Digi device and the Connectware Manager server, and the keep-alive settings of the various interfaces (TCP and HTTP for mobile and Ethernet network connections). These settings should only be changed when the defaults do not properly work.

Connection Settings: These settings configure the idle timeout for the connection between the Digi device and the Connectware Manager server.

Disconnect when Connectware Management is idle: Enables or disables the idle timeout for the connection. If enabled, the connection will be dropped, or ended, after the amount of time specified in the Idle Timeout setting.

Idle Timeout: The amount of time to wait before timing out the connection.

Mobile Settings:

Ethernet Settings: These settings apply to client-initiated management connections over the mobile/cellular and Ethernet networks.

Connectware Management Protocol Keep-Alive Settings: These settings control how often keep-alive packets are sent over the client-initiated connection to the Connectware Manager server, and whether the device waits before dropping the connection.

Receive Interval: The number of seconds to wait for a keep-alive message from the Connectware Manager server before assuming the connection is lost.

Transmit Interval: The number of seconds to wait between sending keep- alive messages. (

Assume connection is lost after n timeouts: How many timeouts occur before the Digi device assumes the connection to the Connectware Manager server is lost and drops the connection.

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.
