Released

A lease was previously assigned to the given client, but that client has proactively released it. A lease in this state will remain for a 1 hour grace period, after which it is deleted. If the same client requests an IP address before the lease is deleted, it will be given the same IP address previously served to it.

Unavailable Address

A lease was offered to a client, but that client actively declined to use the IP address. Typically this is because the client determined that another host on the same subnetwork is already using that IP address. Upon receiving the client's decline message, the DHCP server will mark the address as unavailable. The lease will remain in this state for a 4 hour grace period, after which it is deleted. This status may also occur if the DHCP server determines that the IP address is in use before it offers the address to a client (see the DHCP server setting Check that an IP address is not in use before offering it).

Manage Mesh networks

Digi provides several avenues for managing Mesh networks and the ZigBee devices in the Mesh Network:

From a ConnectPort X device’s web interface. This section focuses on this interface.

From a ConnectPort X device’s command-line interface. See"Commands for managing Mesh networks and nodes" on page 202.

From Connectware Manager’s Mesh Networks view. See "Monitor/manage Mesh networks from Connectware Manager" on page 207.

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.
