Digi IX14 hardware reference IX14 features and specifications IX14 is a compact LTE CAT1 machine-to-machine (M2M) router suitable for a broad range of applications in rugged industrial environments. Key features include: Industrial grade components (operating temperatures from -29° F to +165° F/-34° C to +74° C)
IX14 is intended to be powered by a certified power supply with output rated at either 12 VDC/0.75 A or 24 VDC/0.375 A minimum. If the IX14 is operated in an ambient temperature range from +0 C to +40 C, use the Digi power supply accessory kits 76002078 or 76002080 to meet the temperature criteria.

1. On the IX14 front panel, use a #1 Phillips-head screwdriver to remove the SIM door. 2. If the IX14 device is used in an environment with high vibration levels, SIM card contact fretting may cause unexpected SIM card failures. To protect the SIM cards, Digi strongly recommends that you apply a thin layer of dielectric grease to the SIM contacts prior to installing the SIM cards.
Connect the WAN/ETH1 port Connect the WAN/ETH1 port Use an Ethernet cable to connect the IX14 to your local laptop or PC or to your local network (LAN). If you connect directly to your PC, the factory default IP address is 192.168.2.1 If you connect to a LAN that has a DHCP server, reboot the device after you connect and wait for the DHCP server to assign an IP address to the device.

When you are using TACACS+ authentication, you can have both local users and TACACS+ users able to log in to the device. To use TACACS+ authentication, you must set up a TACACS+ server that is accessible by the IX14 device prior to configuration. The process of setting up a TACACS+ server varies by the server environment.
/etc/init.d/tacacs_plus restart TACACS+ server failover and fallback to local authentication In addition to the primary TACACS+ server, you can also configure your IX14 device to use backup TACACS+ servers. Backup TACACS+ servers are used for authentication requests when the primary TACACS+ server is unavailable.

To use RADIUS authentication, you must set up a RADIUS server that is accessible by the IX14 device prior to configuration. The process of setting up a RADIUS server varies by the server environment. An example of a RADIUS server is FreeRADIUS.
/etc/init.d/freeradius restart RADIUS server failover and fallback to local configuration In addition to the primary RADIUS server, you can also configure your IX14 device to use backup RADIUS servers. Backup RADIUS servers are used for authentication requests when the primary RADIUS server is unavailable.

IX14 devices have a single serial port that provides access to the command-line interface. Use an RS-232 serial cable to establish a serial connection from your IX14 to your local laptop or PC. Use a terminal emulator program to establish the serial connection. The terminal emulator's serial connection must be configured to match the configuration of the IX14 device's serial port.

Allow remote access for web administration and SSH Allow remote access for web administration and SSH By default, only devices connected to the IX14's LAN have access to the device via web administration and SSH. To enable these services for access from remote devices: The IX14 device must have a publicly reachable IP address.
By default, the web administration service is enabled and uses the standard HTTPS port, 443. The default access control for the service uses the Internal firewall zone, which means that only devices connected to the IX14's LAN can access the WebUI. If this configuration is sufficient for your needs, no further configuration is required. See Allow remote access for web administration and SSH information about configuring the web administration service to allow access from remote devices.
