The Digi Device Setup wizard

The Digi Device Setup Wizard is a wizard, for configuring Digi devices. It is provided on the CD shipped with each product. It assigns an IP address for the device, configures the device’s serial port parameters based on a selected configuration scenario called a port profile, and determines whether RealPort software needs to be installed.

Digi Cellular Family products have a predefined IP address of 192.168.1.1 for the Ethernet port (see "Default IP address" on page 64). Instead of using the Digi Device Setup Wizard to obtain an IP address for the Ethernet port, you can simply connect to the Ethernet port of the Digi device, and directly access the web interface for device configuration. For these products, consider the Digi Device Setup Wizard as an alternative method for obtaining an IP address.

Using the Digi Device Setup Wizard provides these advantages:

For most users, the Digi Device Setup Wizard interface provides adequate device configuration.

Device configuration is made easier by providing a set of port profiles which configure a serial port based on the way the port will be used. Each port profile displays the relevant settings for the configuration.

The Digi Device Setup Wizard is intended to be run only once, and is not installed on a user’s PC.

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.
