System Information:

–General device information

–Serial port information: for each port, the port’s description, current profile, and current serial configuration. This is the same information displayed by choosing Serial Port Management.

–Network statistics: statistics for IP, TCP, UDP, and ICMP

Command-line interface

Several commands can be issued from the command line to monitor devices. For a review of these commands and what they can provide from a device-monitoring perspective, see "Monitoring capabilities from the command line" on page 198.

Connectware Manager

In the Connectware Manager interface, monitoring capabilities can be sorted by the server and the devices managed by the server. The information is available in logs and can be generated into reports. When available, the reports post linked totals that can be drilled back to the original devices that make up the activity of the report.

Connectware Manager is well-suited to managing Cellular and ConnectPort X Family devices and the networks in which the devices reside. Advantages include:

The ability to view an entire network, and multiple networks, at once

Easy to view signal strength, link quality, and alarms

SNMP

Monitoring capabilities of SNMP include managing network performance, gathering device statistics, and finding and solving network problems. For more information on using SNMP for device-monitoring purposes, see "Monitoring Capabilities from SNMP" on page 208.

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.
