Configure the Gateway
Connect and Power on the ConnectPort X2 
1. Unpack the ConnectPort X2 for Smart Energy gateway.
2. Connect the power supply to the X2 gateway and connect the power supply to an 
electrical outlet.
Note: (International version only): Connect the power supply to a power cable (not included), 
and the power cable to an outlet. 
3. Connect an Ethernet cable from the gateway to your hub or switch that provides 
access to the Internet.
Point Gateway to developer.idigi.com
By default, your Connectport X2 gateway points to energy.digi.com. This is our 
production server. For your development purposes, you can have up to five devices 
added to your account at developer.idigi.com.
Note: Older versions of the gateway may instead be pointed to device.digi.com. Use the same 
following steps to redirect the gateway to the correct server.
To configure your gateway properly, point the device to developer.idigi.com in the 
following manner:
1 Use the Digi Device Discovery application (see “Resources” on page 7) to determine your 
gateway’s IP address.
2 Telnet to this address, then type in the following commands:
login: root
password: dbps
#> set mgmtconnection svraddr1=”http://developer.idigi.com” conntype=client
This will tell the gateway where to look for a server, specifically “http://
developer.idigi.com. Now, type the “who” command to get the number of the process 
currently controlling where the gateway points. In this case, it’s process ID 1. Kill this 
process, as shown below.
