Default IP address

ConnectPort X Family products ship with a a default static IP address for the Ethernet port of 192.168.1.1 and a a DHCP server enabled by default. Therefore, simply connecting a laptop computer to the Ethernet port of these products allows direct access to the web interface for configuration.

Alternate methods for assigning an IP address

There are several alternate ways to assign an IP address to a Digi device:

Using the Digi Device Setup Wizard.

Using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) from the web interface.

Using the command-line interface.

Using Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA), also known as Auto-IP.

Configure an IP address using the Digi Device Setup Wizard

The Digi Device Setup Wizard is supplied on the Software and Documentation CD. Using this wizard is the easiest way to assign an IP address and initially configure Digi devices. It discovers Digi devices on a network, configures an IP address, and configures basic serial port parameters according to how the device will be used. After this initial configuration, features can be fine-tuned as needed through the web interface. Setup is specially designed for the Windows environments, and is quick, automated, and complete.

To use the Digi Device Setup Wizard:

1Connect the Digi deviceto the network and power it on.

2Locate the MAC address for the Digi device; it is on a label on the bottom of the product. Record it for later use in assigning an IP address.

3Insert the Digi CD in the CD drive of a computer running Microsoft Window. If the CD does not start automatically, double-click

My Computer > CD ROM Drive > setup.exe.

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.
