Configure multiple Connect EZ 8 devices by using Digi Remote Manager configurations

Digi recommends you take advantage of Remote Manager configurations to manage multiple Connect EZ 8 devices. A Remote Manager configuration is a named set of device firmware, settings, and file system options. You use the configuration to automatically update multiple devices and to periodically scan devices to check for compliance with the configuration. See the Digi Remote Manager User Guide for more information about Remote Manager configurations.

Typically, if you want to provision multiple Connect EZ 8 routers:

1. Using the Connect EZ 8 local WebUI, configure one Connect EZ 8 router to use as the model configuration for all subsequent Connect EZ 8s you need to manage.
2. Register the configured Connect EZ 8 device in your Remote Manager account.
3. In Remote Manager, create a configuration:
   1. From the Dashboard, select Configurations.

      

   2. Click Create.

      

   3. Enter a Name and an optional Description for the configuration, and select the Groups, Device Type, and Firmware Version.

   4. Click Save and continue.

   5. Click Import from device and select the device configured above.

   6. Click Import.

   7. At the Settings page, configure any desired configuration overrides and click Continue.

   8. At the File System page, make any desired changes to the files that were imported from the device and click Continue.

   9. At the Automations page, click Enable Scanning, make any other desired changes, and click Save.

Digi Remote Manager provides multiple methods for applying configurations to registered devices. You can also include site-specific settings with a profile to override settings on a device-by-device basis.
