Configuration and management interfaces

With iDigi Manager Pro, management of large populations of devices is made easy. Devices can be
tagged and grouped together enabling management tasks to groups of devices within a network
simultaneously. Furthermore, the Scheduled Operations feature allows device management tasks to
be automated and scheduled to run either on a one-time or a recurring basis, against a single device
or multiple devices. The Alarms capability of iDigi Manager Pro facilitates monitoring the health
of a device network. For instance, should a device disconnect or stay connected for longer than a
specified period, an alarm fires and notification of the alarm can be sent via email in real-time.
In addition, the iDigi Web Services provide seamless integration from Digi gateways into customer
back office applications. These iDigi Web Services are accessed on the Help and API Explorer
tab of the iDigi interface.
Some things to note about using iDigi Manager Pro:
 Devices must be registered on iDigi Manager Pro before they can be accessed via the
iDigi platform.
 To minimize network traffic, iDigi Manager Pro uses caching. As a result, device
settings can be out-of-sync between the device and the settings viewed on the iDigi
Manager Pro console.
 Device information can be refreshed on demand when the device is connected, and is
refreshed automatically when a device connects.
