Server-Initiated Remote Manager Connection settings
Enable Server-Initiated Remote Manager Connection: Configures the connection to the Remote
Manager server to be initiated by Remote Manager.
Enable Device IP Address updates to the following server: Enables or disables a connection to
Remote Manager to inform Remote Manager of the IP address of the Remote Manager-registered
device, known as a device IP address update. This permits Remote Manager to connect back to the
Remote Manager-registered device, or to dynamically update a DNS with the IP address of the
Remote Manager-registered device.
Remote Manager Server Address: The IP address or hostname of the Remote Manager platform.
Retry if the IP address update fails:
Retry after: These options specify whether another IP address update attempt should be made after
a previous attempt failed, and how often the retry attempts should occur.
Timed Remote Manager connection
Enable Timed Remote Manager Connection: When enabled, this Digi device initiates the

connection to the Remote Manager Server at the configured interval (period). A timed

cannot successfully establish the timed connection, the Digi device server will try again at the
next interval.

following options on how to handle the delay:
Immediate: Attempt first timed connection immediately.
l
One Interval: Attempt the first timed connection after one configured interval (period) has
l
elapsed.
Random Delay: Attempt the first timed connection after a random interval of time
l
between zero (immediate) and the configured interval (period). Choose this option when
you have a number of Digi device deployed in a single location and you want to distribute
the first Remote Manager timed connection attempt for each Digi device over time when
power is restored after an outage.
Paged Remote Manager Connection settings
Enable Paged Remote Manager Connection: When enabled, the Remote Manager-registered
n
device initiates a paged connection to Remote Manager when requested to do so from an
external communication, such as a Short Message received via a mobile service provider. The
