Configure Digi devices
Configure mobile (cellular) settings
The Mobile Settings pages configure how to connect to mobile (cellular) networks using
the mobile connection, including the service provider, service plan, and connection
settings used in connecting to the mobile network. If your Digi device has not already
been provisioned for use in the mobile network, you can launch a wizard to provision it
from these pages. In addition, you can configure settings for Digi SureLink™, a feature
that provides an “always-on” mobile network connection to ensure rapid on-demand
communication. The SureLink configuration settings allow you to customize how
SureLink detects when a connection has been lost, in order to re-establish the link.
Information required from mobile service provider
To connect to the mobile network, you must get a set of network settings from the mobile
service provider including service plan and authentication details. For more information,
consult the documentation that came with your mobile service provider's information.
Different processes used for CDMA and GSM provisioning
The process for provisioning your device and the settings displayed on the Mobile
Configuration page vary according to whether the mobile service provider network used
with your Digi Cellular Family product is based on CDMA (Code-Division Multiple
Access) or GSM (Global System for Mobile communication).
CDMA-based mobile service providers
Device provisioning for a CDMA-based mobile service provider consists of selecting the
service provider from a list and either automatically or manually entering mobile settings
provided by the mobile service provider Examples of CDMA-based mobile service
providers include Sprint, Verizon, Alltel, and Midwest.
GSM-based mobile service providers
Device provisioning for a GSM-based mobile service provider involves inserting a
Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card into the Digi device, which makes subscription
data available in the cellular network. Examples of GSM-based mobile service providers
include Cingular, AT&T, and T-Mobile.
