Introduction
Introduction
CHAPTER 1
This chapter introduces Digi devices and their product families, types of connections and
data paths in which Digi devices can be used, and the interface options available for
configuring, monitoring, and administering Digi devices.

ConnectPort X Family products
ConnectPort X Family products
The ConnectPort X Family of products is intended to provide gateway functionality
between various network technologies such as Ethernet, cellular , Wi-Fi, and Mesh (IEEE
802.15.4 and ZigBee). In addition to providing IP network connectivity between cellular,
Wi-Fi and Ethernet netwo rks and devices; Connect Port X Family products are designed to
provide remote connectivity to mesh networks as well as other devices connected to local
ports: USB, 1-Wire, RabbitNet, and asynchronous serial. ConnectPort X Family products
act as a coordinator for a Mesh network. As with the Connect and Cellular product
families, ConnectPort X Family products are supp orted by Digi’s Connectware Manager
device management software application, which can be used to remotely manage gateway
devices and Mesh networks.
Key features of ConnectPort X Family include:
Network flexibility: gateway functionality for a variety of networks
MaxStream XBeePro Radio
Currently Freescale-based, primarily 802.15.4
20
Ember-250/ZigBee-based
Commercial/Industrial Grade
Connectware Enterprise Management: High-level and detailed views of Mesh
networks and nodes
Personal Area Network (PAN) connectivity and management
Support of Python programming language, for creating a variety of embedded
programs and applications
Remote help desk support through a WatchPort

User interfaces
Introduction
This is an overview of key features in Digi devices. Software features are covered in more
detail in the next three chapters. Hardware specifications and are covered in Chapter 5,
"Specifications and certifications".
There are several user interfaces for configuring and monitoring Digi devi ces, in clu di ng :
The Digi Device Setup Wizard, a wizard-based tool for assigning an IP address
to a Digi device, minimally configuring it, and installing RealPort software on a
PC or server.
A web-based interface for configuring, monitoring, and administ ering Digi
devices.
For Digi devices that ship with a default IP a ddress, simply con necting a lapt op
computer to the Ethernet port of these products allows direct access to the web
interface for configuration.
A command-line interface.
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).
The Connectware Manager Console.
For additional details on these user interfaces, see "Configuration interfaces" on page 48
and "Monitoring interfaces" on page 60. Some user interfaces can be customized.

Features
Quic k re fe ren ce f or configuring features
This guide primarily focuses on configuring, monitoring, and administering Digi devices
from the web interface. This table provides a quick reference for configuring features and
performing device tasks, and where to find the features and settings in the web interface
and this guide. Click the page number in the Page column to jump to instructions on
configuring or using the feature. Some features are configurable from the command line
interface only. In those cases, the commands that configure the feature are noted. The
command descriptions are in the Digi Connect Family Command Reference.

To launch a wizard for provisioning the module, go to
Configuration > Mobile. Under Mobile Service Provider
Settings, click the Provision Device button.
Provisioning can also be performed from the command line:
To display existing provisioning parameters:
“display provisioning” -- see "display" on page 30
To provision the CDMA module: "provision" on page 59

Hardware features
A summary of hardware features, including power-supply information, is in "Hardware
specifications" on page 220.
Network interface features
A detailed list of network interface features is in Chapter 5, "Spe cifi cat ions and
certifications". See also the data sheet for your Digi product.
Configurable network services
Access to network services can be enabled and disabled. This means that a devi ce’s use of
network services can be restricted to those strictly needed by the device. To improve
device security, non-secure services, such as Telnet, can be disabled.
Network services that can be enabled or disabled include:
Advanced Digi Discovery Protocol (ADDP): can enable or disable ADDP, but
cannot change its network port number.
