Interfaces for configuring, monitoring, and administering Digi devices
30
With Device Management, management of large populations of devices is made easy. Devices can
be tagged and grouped together enabling management tasks to groups of devices within a network
simultaneously. Furthermore, the Scheduled Operations feature allows device management tasks to
be automated and scheduled to run either on a one-time or a recurring basis, against a single device
or multiple devices. The Alarms capability of Device Management facilitates monitoring the health
of a device network. For instance, should a device disconnect or stay connected for longer than a
specified period, an alarm fires and notification of the alarm can be sent via email in real-time.
Some things to note about using Device Management:
 Devices must be registered on Device Management before they can be accessed via the
Device Cloud platform.
 To minimize network traffic, Device Management uses caching. As a result, device
settings can be out-of-sync between the device and the settings viewed on the Device
Management console.
 Device information can be refreshed on demand when the device is connected, and is
refreshed automatically when a device connects.
