There are two primary methods for configuring your device:

Web interface

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

The web interface can be accessed in two ways:

  • Central management using Digi Remote Manager: a cloud-based device management and data enablement platform that allows you to connect any device to any application, anywhere. With Remote Manager, you can configure your device and use the configuration as a basis for a Remote Manager configuration which can be applied to other similar devices.

  • The local web interface: See Using the local web interface for more information about using the local web interface to manage and configure your device.

Use the following steps to access the Configuration section of your device:

  1. Log in to Digi Remote Manager or the local Web UI as a user with full Admin access rights.

  2. Access the device configuration:

    Method Steps

    Remote Manager

    1. Locate your device.

      1. From the menu, click Devices to display a list of your devices.

      2. Use the Filter bar to locate the device you want to manage. For example, to search by type of device:

        1. Click the Advanced Search button.

        2. Click in the Filter bar.

        3. Enter in the type of device you’re looking for (for example, XBee Hive for Wi-SUN).

    2. Select the Device ID.

    3. Select Settings.

    4. Select to expand Config.

    Local Web UI

    1. On the menu, click System. Under Configuration, click Device Configuration.

      The Configuration window is displayed.
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.

When you’re finished configuring your device, click Apply to save the configuration and apply the change.

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 device.

Use the following steps to access the configuration options on your device:

  1. Select the device in Remote Manager and click Actions > Open Console, or log in locally as an Admin.

  2. Enter Admin CLI (type admin if prompted).

  3. Enter configuration mode:

    > config
(config)>

When you’re finished configuring your device, use the following steps to save your changes:

  1. Save the configuration and apply the change.

    (config)> save
Configuration saved.
>

  2. Type exit to exit the Admin CLI.

    Depending on your device configuration, you may be presented with an Access selection menu. Type quit to disconnect from the device.
