Check that an IP address is not in use before offering it: When a DHCP client requests a new IP address lease, before offering an IP address to that client, use “ping” to test whether that IP address is already in use by another host on the network but is unknown to the DHCP server. If an IP address is determined to be in use, it is marked as Unavailable for a period of time, and it will not be offered to any client while in this state. Enabling this test adds approximately one second of delay before the IP address is offered to the client, since the “ping” test must not receive a valid reply for that test to successfully determine that the IP address is not already in use. This option is off (disabled) by default. This option does not apply to Static Lease Reservations, since the “ping” test is not used for them.

Static Lease Reservations: A static lease reservation is a specific IP address paired with a client's MAC address, which reserves the IP address for that client's use only. This assures that a client always receives a lease for the same IP address and that no other client obtains a lease for that address.

To add a reservation, enter the IP Address and MAC Address values, check or clear the Enable checkbox, and then press the Add button.

After adding a reservation, you may click on the IP address or MAC address of that entry in the table, permitting you to specify or modify the lease duration for this reservation.

The Enable checkbox for the entry permits a reservation to be disabled without actually removing the entry, then enabled again at a later time.

The Remove link is used to permanently remove a reservation from the DHCP server configuration.

The Remove All link is used to permanently remove all reservations from the DHCP server configuration.

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.
