IP filtering settings

You can better restrict your device on the network by only allowing certain devices or networks to connect. This is better known as IP Filtering or Access Control Lists (ACL). By enabling IP filtering, you are telling the device to only accept connections from specific and known IP addresses or networks. Devices can be filtered on a single IP address or can be restricted as a group of devices using a subnet mask that only allows specific networks to access to the device.

Caution It is important to plan and review your IP filtering settings before applying them. Incorrect settings can make the Digi device inaccessible from the network.

On the IP Filtering Settings page, enter the settings as follows:

Only allow access from the following devices and networks: Enables IP filtering so that only the specified devices or networks are allowed to connect to and access the device. Note that if you enable this feature and the system from which you are connecting to the Digi device is not included in the list of allowed devices or networks, then you will instantly no longer be able to communicate or configure the device from this system.

Automatically allow access from all devices on the local subnet: Specifies that all systems and devices on the same local subnet or network of the device should be allowed to connect to the device.

Allow access from the following devices: A list of IP addresses of systems or devices that are allowed to connect to this device.

Allow access from the following networks: A list of networks based on an IP address and matching subnet mask that are allowed to connect to this device. This option allows grouping several devices that exist on a particular subnet or network to connect to the device without having to manually specific each individual IP address.

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.
