Commands for managing connections and sessions

close: Closes active sessions that were opened by connect, rlogin, and telnet commands.

connect: Makes a connection, or establishes a connection, with a serial port.

dhcp: Manages DHCP server operation.

exit and quit: These commands terminate a currently active session.

vpn: Manages Virtual Private Network (VPN) connections.

who and kill: The who command displays a global list of connections. The list of connections includes those associated with a serial port or the command-line interface. who is particularly useful in conjunction with the kill command, which terminates active connections. Use who to determine any connections that are no longer needed, and end the connections by issuing a kill command.

mode: Changes or displays the operating options for a current Telnet session.

ping: Tests whether a host or other device is active and reachable.

reconnect: Reestablishes a previously established connection; that is, a connection opened by a connect, rlogin, or telnet command; the default operation is to reconnect to the last active session.

rlogin: Performs a login to a remote system.

send: Sends a Telnet control command, such as break, abort output, are you there, escape, or interrupt process, to the last active Telnet session.

status: Displays a list of sessions, or outgoing connections made by connect, rlogin, or telnet commands for a device. Typically, the status command is used to determine which of the current sessions to close.

telnet: Makes an outgoing Telnet connection, also known as a session.

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.
