Security settings
Security settings involve several areas:
 User authentication: whether authentication is required for users accessing the Digi
device, and the information required to access it. You can choose to have the user
authentication be by username and password or by an SSH public key. Depending on the
Digi product, multiple users and their authentication information can be defined. User
authentication settings are on the Security settings page.
 Network Configuration settings to further secure your device: Digi devices with
Cellular capability present additional security considerations, mainly involving securing
the border between the Digi device and the cellular network. Several settings on the
Network Configuration pages are available to further secure the Digi device.For
example, unused network services can be disabled on the Network Services page. On
the IP Filtering page, you can allow access from a specified devices and networks, and
drop all other connection attempts.
About user models and user permissions
In Digi devices that have a one-user model:
 By default, there is no login prompt.
 The default name for user 1 is root. This user is also known as the administrative user.
 User 1 has permissions that enables it to do all commands. Permissions cannot be
altered.
