Device administration
CHAPTER 5
This chapter discusses the administration tasks that need to be performed on Digi devices
periodically, such as file management, changing the password used for logging onto the device,
backing up and restoring device configurations, updating firmware and Boot/POST code, restoring
the device configuration to factory defaults, and rebooting the device. As with device configuration
and monitoring, it covers performing administrative tasks through a variety of device interfaces,
including web, Java applet, and command-line interfaces.
Administration from the web interface
The Administration section of the web interface main menu provides the following choices:
 File Management: For uploading and managing files, such as custom web pages,
applet files, and initialization files. See page 152.
 Python Program File Management: For uploading custom programs in the Python
programming language to Digi devices and configuring the programs to execute
automatically at startup. See page 113.
 Backup/Restore: For backing up or restoring a device’s configuration settings. See
page 153.
 Update Firmware: For updating firmware, including Boot and POST code. See
page 154.
 Factory Default Settings: For restoring a device to factory default settings. See
page 155.
 System Information: For displaying general system information for the device and
device statistics. See page 158.
 Activate Find Me LED: On the Digi Connect ES model only, turns on/off the Find Me
or locator LED to aid in locating a specific Digi device. See page 158.
 Reboot: For rebooting the device. See page 158.
These administrative tasks are organized elsewhere in the web interface:
 Enable and disable network services. See page 64.
 Enable password authentication for the Digi device. See page 105.
