Network Services Configuration page

The Network Services Configuration page allows you to enable or disable the network services as needed. It also allows you to control how Digi devices are discovered.

The following table describes each service and its default TCP port number.

Tip Use the default TCP port numbers for these services because they are well-known by most applications.

Setting	Services provided	Default TCP Port Number
Enable Secure Shell Server (SSH)	Secure Shell Server (SSH) allows users secure access to sign in to the Digi device and access the command-line interface. Essentially, pulling content from the XBee Gateway web interface.	22
Enable Web Server (HTTP)	HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP), also known as Web Server, provides access to web pages for configuration and web services. HTTP and HTTPS (see the Enable Secure Web Server (HTTPS) definition) are also referred to as Web Server or Secure Web Server. These services control the use of the web interface. If HTTP and HTTPS are disabled, device users cannot use the web interface to configure, monitor, and administer the device.	80
Enable Secure Web Server (HTTPS)	HyperText Transfer Protocol over Secure Socket Layer (HTTPS), also known as Secure Web Server, uses encryption to improve the security of web data transfers.	443
Device Discovery Service (ADDP) Mode	Device Discovery Service handles discovery of Digi devices on a network, using a Digi-proprietary protocol called ADDP and the Digi Device Discovery utility. See Access the XBee Gateway web interface for more information. The Device Discovery Service also allows you to change network settings. The Device Discovery Service can also be completely disabled. The settings for this network service are as follows: Read-Write: Allows you to discover devices and change network settings through the Digi Device Discovery utility. This is the default setting on firmware versions 3.2.29.x and earlier. Read-Only: Allows you to discover of devices only. This is the default setting on firmware versions 3.2.30.x and later. Off: Turns off the ADDP network service. This setting completely closes the network port used for device discovery.	2362

Host Name Configuration

• Host Name: The host name to be placed in the DHCP Option 12 field. This is an optional setting that is only used when DHCP is enabled.

  The host name is validated and must contain only specific characters. These restrictions are as defined in RFCs 952, 1035, 1123 and 2132. The following characters are allowed:

  • Alphabetic: upper and lower case letters A through Z and a through z
  • Numeric: digits 0 through 9
  • Hyphen (dash): -
  • Period (dot): .

  You can specify a single name or a fully qualified domain name, whose parts are separated with a period character, as the host name value. Each part must comply the following rules:

  • Must begin with a letter or digit
  • Must end with a letter or digit
  • Interior characters may be a letter, digit or hyphen
  • Each part of the name may be from 1 to 63 characters in length, and the full host name may be up to 127 characters in length. An IP address is not permitted for use in this host name setting.

Domain Name Service Configuration

These settings are the two Domain Name System servers to be used as static servers when dynamic mechanisms do not supply enough DNS servers.

The IP addresses of Domain Name Servers (DNS) used to resolve computer host names to IP addresses. Static DNS servers are specified independently of any network interface and its connection state. An IP address of 0.0.0.0 indicates no server is specified.

• Primary DNS: The primary DNS server.
• Secondary DNS: The second DNS server to used if the primary DNS fails to respond.
