Alarms
Digi devices can be configured to issue alarms, in the form of email message or SNMP traps, when
certain device events occur. These events include changes in GPIO signals, certain data patterns
being detected in the data stream,. Receiving alarms about these conditions provides the advantage
of notifications being issued when events occur, rather than having to monitor the device on an
ongoing basis to determine whether these events have occurred. Alarms can also be forwarded to
Device Management for display and management in that platform. For more information on
configuring alarms, see "Alarms" on page 85.
Modem emulation
Digi devices include a configuration profile that allows the device to emulate a modem. Modem
emulation sends and receives modem responses to a serial device over TCP/IP (including Ethernet)
instead of Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). The modem emulation profile allows
maintaining a current software application but using it over the less expensive Ethernet network. In
addition, Telnet processing can be enabled or disabled on the incoming and outgoing modem-
emulation connections.The modem-emulation commands supported in Digi devices are
documented in the Digi Connect Family Command Reference.
