HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP)

HyperText Transfer Protocol over Secure Socket Layer (HTTPS)

Digi devices provide web pages for configuration that can be secured by requiring a user login.

Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP)

ICMP statistics can be displayed, including the number of messages received, bad messages received, and destination unreachable messages received.

Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP)

The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) transports multi-protocol packets over point-to-point links. PPP encapsulates the data packet, allows the server to inform the dial-up client of its IP address (or client to request the IP address), authenticates the exchange, negotiates multiple protocols, and reassembles the data packet for network communication. Digi Cellular devices support PPP as the connection protocol from the Digi Cellular device to the cellular IP network with NAT (Network Address Technology).

Network Address Translation (NAT)/Port Forwarding

Network Address Translation (NAT) reduces the need for a large amount of publicly known IP addresses by creating a separation between publicly known and privately known IP addresses.

Advanced Digi Discovery Protocol (ADDP)

The Advanced Digi Discovery Protocol (ADDP) runs on any operating system capable of sending multicast IP packets on a network. ADDP allows the system to identify all ADDP-enabled Digi devices attached to a network by sending out a multicast packet. The Digi devices respond to the multicast packet and identify themselves to the client sending the multicast.

ADDP needs to communicate with the TCP/IP stack using UDP. The TCP/IP stack should be able to receive multicast packets and transmit datagrams on a network.

Not all Digi devices support ADDP.

Access to ADDP service can be enabled or disabled, but the network port number for ADDP cannot be changed from its default.

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.
