management server
The iDigi/Remote Management configuration page sets up the connection to the
iDigi Manager Pro remote management server so the Digi device can connect to the server. iDigi
Manager Pro allows devices to be configured and managed from remote locations. To use iDigi
Manager Pro as a remote manager of a Digi device, see the iDigi User’s Guide and "Manually
configure a Digi device to connect to iDigi Manager Pro" on page 163.
For more information about iDigi and how to remotely configure and manage this device, please

Requirement: configuring the Digi device with a Device ID
The Digi devicemust be configured to properly communicate with the iDigi Server. To do so, you
must configure the Digi device to have a proper Device ID. By default, the Device ID is created
from the MAC address of the device. The Device ID can be configured in the web interface on the
Configuration > System > Device Identity Settings page; see "System settings" on page 150 for
those settings. Typically, it is not necessary or recommended that the Device ID be modified from
its default value.
After configuring the iDigi Device ID, you must configure the iDigi / Remote Management
settings. There are two pages of settings: Connection Settings and Advanced Settings.
