Configuration methods

There are two primary methods for configuring your IX30 device:

• Web interface.

  The web interface can be accessed in two ways:

  • Central management using the Digi Remote Manager, a cloud-based device management and data enablement platform that allows you to connect any device to any application, anywhere. With the Remote Manager, you can configure your IX30 device and use the configuration as a basis for a Remote Manager configuration which can be applied to other similar devices. See Central management for more information about using the Remote Manager to manage and configure your IX30 device.
  • The local web interface. See Using the local web interface for more information about using the local web interface to manage and configure your IX30 device.

    Note Changes made to the device's configuration by using the local web interface will not be automatically reflected in Digi Remote Manager. You must manually refresh Remote Manager for the changes to be displayed.

  Web-based instructions in this guide are applicable to both the Remote Manager and the local web interface.

• Command line.

  A robust command line allows you to perform all configuration and management tasks from within a command shell. Both the Remote Manager and the local web interface also have the option to open a terminal emulator for executing commands on your IX30 device. See Using the command line for more information about using the command line to manage and configure your IX30 device.
