Configuration through the command line

Configuring a Digi devicethrough the command-line interface consists of entering a series of commands to set values in the device. The Digi Connect Family Command Reference describes the commands used to configure, monitor, administer, and operate Digi devices.

Access the command line

To configure devices using commands, first access the command line. Either launch the command-line interface from the last page of the Digi Device Setup Wizard or use the telnet command. Enter the telnet command from a command prompt on another networked device, such as a server, as follows:

#> telnet ip-address

where ip-addressis the IP address of the Digi device. For example:

#> telnet 192.3.23.5

If security is enabled for the Digi device, (that is, a username and password have been set up for logging on to it), a login prompt is displayed. If the user name and password for the device are unknown, contact the system administrator who originally configured the device.

Verify device support of commands

To verify whether a Digi devicesupports a particular command, online help is available. For example:

help displays all supported commands for a device.

?displays all supported commands for a device

set ? displays the syntax and options for the set command. Use this command to determine whether the device includes a particular “set” command variant to configure various features.

help set displays syntax and options for the set command.

set serial ? displays the syntax and options for the set serial command.

help set serial displays the syntax and options for the set serial command.

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.
