Manage connections and services

The Management menu is for viewing and managing connections and services for the Digi device.

Manage serial ports

Management > Serial Ports provides an overview of the serial ports and their connections. Clicking Connections displays the active connections for that serial port. The view can be refreshed to see any new serial-port connections list, and connections can be disconnected as needed.

Manage connections

Management > Connections displays active Virtual Private Network (VPN) and system connections.

Manage VPN connections

To monitor a VPN connection from the web interface, select

Management > Connections. The VPN settings appear.

Note that the Connect and Disconnect functions do not work for a VPN that uses a Pre-Shared Key (PSK).

Manage active system connections

The Active System Connections list provides an overview of connections associated with various interfaces, such as user connections to the device’s web interface, or to the command line through the local shell; the protocols used for the connections; and the number of active sessions for each connection. One of the uses of this list is to determine whether any connections are no longer needed and can be disconnected.

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.
