Get started with Digi Remote Manager

Digi Remote Manager® is a cloud-based device and data management platform that you can use to configure and update a device, and view and manage device data.

Note Digi Remote Manager requires TCP and will not work with NB-IoT, unless the carrier supports TCP.

The sections below describe how to create a Remote Manager account, upgrading your device, configure your device, and manage data in Remote Manager.

1. Create a Remote Manager account and add devices
2. To ensure that all Remote Manager features are available, you should upgrade your device to the latest firmware. See Update the firmware from the Devices page in Remote Manager or Update the firmware using web services in Remote Manager.
3. Configure your device in Remote Manager

   To be able to configure your device in Remote Manager, the device must be connected to Remote Manager. You can connect to and configure your device in Remote Manager using one of the following methods:

   • Scheduled connection: In this method, you create a list of tasks that you want to perform on the device, and then start the operation. This is the recommended method, and is the best choice for low data usage. See Configure Remote Manager features using automations.
   • Always connected: This method can be used for initial configuration, or when you are not concerned with low data usage. See Configure XBee settings within Remote Manager.

4. Secure the connection between an XBee and Remote Manager with server authentication.
