Digi Remote Manager. Added a randomized two minute delay window for uploading health metrics to the Digi Remote Manager to avoid situations where multiple devices are uploading metrics at the same time.
When you open the TX64 package, look for the following: Digi TX64 device The Digi TX64 has a product label on the bottom of the device. The label includes product identification information and the default password assigned to the device.
Step 2: Gather accessories Digi offers several TX64 accessory kits so you can purchase exactly what you need to support your TX64. See TX64 support for a list of accessory kits.
Use a #1 Phillips-head screwdriver to remove and replace the SIM gasket cover when installing SIM cards. Power supply Use a power supply provided by a Digi accessory kit or use an alternate power supply that complies with the power supply requirements. Laptop or personal computer Use an Ethernet cable to connect your TX64 to a laptop or PC.
Wait for the power LED to stop blinking. The device is ready. Step 5: Configure a. On the PC connected to the TX64, open a browser and go to 192.168.2.1. b. Log into the TX64: User name: Use the default user name: admin.

2. For high-vibration environments, apply a thin layer of dielectric grease to the SIM contacts. Note If the TX64 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 TX64 power cable to a power source. Vehicle installation The TX64 shall be powered from a 5 A fused circuit or shall be installed with an in-line Slow Blow fuse rated at 5 A. Maximum ambient operating temperature is limited to 74°C.
Installations up to +70° C: Digi part number 76002079 or 76002081 Installations up to +74° C: TRACO Power TPP-30-112J, TPP-30-115J, TPP-30-124J, and TEX120- Mount and ground chassis If you intend to install the TX64 in a vehicle, follow these directions for mounting and grounding the device. Note Always follow the vehicle manufacturer recommendations for electrical accessories connections.
Power installation must be performed by a qualified electrician, following the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 and Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, CSA C22.1. There must be a disconnect device in front of TX64 devices to protect maintenance workers. Use a 20 A circuit-breaker as the disconnect device.

Interfaces TX64 devices have several physical communications interfaces. These interfaces can be bridged in a Local Area Network (LAN) or assigned to a Wide Area Network (WAN). This chapter contains the following topics: Wide Area Networks (WANs) Local Area Networks (LANs)
Interfaces Wide Area Networks (WANs) Wide Area Networks (WANs) The TX64 device is preconfigured with one Wide Area Network (WAN), named WAN1, and two Wireless Wide Area Network (WWAN)s, named WWAN1 and WWAN2. Preconfigured Default Interface type interfaces Devices configuration...
Wide Area Network (WWAN)s, named WWAN1 and WWAN2. You can also create additional WANs and WWANs. When a WAN is initialized, the TX64 device automatically adds a default IP route for the WAN. The priority of the WAN is based on the metric of the default route, as configured in the WAN's IPv4 and IPv6 metric settings.

WAN, and its Ethernet WAN, WAN1, as its secondary WAN. WAN/WWAN failover If a connection to a WAN interface is lost for any reason, the TX64 device will immediately fail over to the next WAN or WWAN interface, based on WAN priority. See...
Problems can occur beyond the immediate WAN/WWAN connection that prevent some IP traffic from reaching its destination. Normally this kind of problem does not cause the TX64 device to detect that the WAN has failed, because the connection continues to work while the core problem exists somewhere else in the network.

Local shared password: Requires each user to enter a password. This password is validated locally on the TX64 device, and the password is the same for all users. The sample HTML page included with your TX64 device for local shared password authentication is password.html.
Hotspot DHCP server Hotspot DHCP server When the hotspot is enabled on the TX64 device, it automatically enables a DHCP server. During hotspot configuration, you assign an IPv4 address to the hotspot, and the DHCP server then uses the subnet of the hotspot's IP address, along with the hotspot's subnet mask, to assign IPv4 addresses to clients that connect to the hotspot.
Hotspot configuration This section provides information about enabling and configuring the default hotspot that is provided with your TX64 installation, as well as creating a new hotspot and configuring the type of authentication mode you select for your hotspot. This section contains the following topics:...

IP routing IP routing The TX64 device uses IP routes to decide where to send a packet it receives for a remote network. The process for deciding on a route to send the packet is as follows: 1. The device examines the destination IP address in the IP packet, and looks through the IP routing table to find a match for it.
To configure a static route: WebUI 1. Log into the TX64 WebUI as a user with full Admin access rights. 2. On the menu, click System. Under Configuration, click Device Configuration. The Configuration window is displayed. 3. Click Network > Routes > Static routes.

However, you can use policy-based routing to forward the packet based on other criteria, such as the source of the packet. For example, you can configure the TX64 device so that high-priority traffic is routed through the cellular connection, while all other traffic is routed through an Ethernet (WAN) connection.

OpenVPN clients. OpenVPN clients use Network Address Translation (NAT) to route traffic from devices connected on its LAN interfaces to the OpenVPN server. The manner in which the IP subnets are defined depends on the OpenVPN topology in use. The TX64 device supports two types of OpenVPN topology:...
LAN interfaces to the OpenVPN server. TAP - OpenVPN managed—Also know as bridging mode. A more advanced implementation of OpenVPN. The TX64 device creates an OpenVPN interface and uses standard interface configuration (for example, a standard DHCP server configuration).

With TACACS+ support, the TX64 device acts as a TACACS+ client, which sends user credentials and connection parameters to a TACACS+ server over TCP. The TACACS+ server then authenticates the TACACS+ client requests and sends back a response message to the device.
The groupname attribute is optional. If used, the value must correspond to authentication groups configured on your TX64. Alternatively, if the user is also configured as a local user on the TX64 device and the LDAP server authenticates the user but does not return any groups, the local configuration determines the list of groups.

When you are using LDAP authentication, you can have both local users and LDAP users able to log in to the device. To use LDAP authentication, you must set up a LDAP server that is accessible by the TX64 device prior to configuration. The process of setting up a LDAP server varies by the server environment.
