Remote device management and IP pass-through
As illustrated above, the Digi device allows you to enable pinholes for specific ports to allow remote
users to manage the Digi device from the mobile network or open Internet. The Digi device retains its
remote management capabilities using Remote Manager. The necessary pinholes are automatically
defined when the Digi device is configured for IP Pass-through. This provides administrators with the
same remote-management capabilities that exist in Digi remote devices.
Configuring IP pass-through
To configure IP Pass-through from the web interface for your Digi device:
Note Ensure you have completed at least the first three steps.
1. Set a static IP address for the Digi device. Go to Configuration > Network > IP Settings.
2. Set up the DHCP server. Go to Configuration > Network > DHCP Server Settings. See
server settings
3. Turn on the DHCP server. Go to Management > Network Services. In
DHCP Server Management, click the Start button.
4. Configure IP pass-through settings. Go to Configuration > Network > IP Pass-through.
IP pass-through settings include:
Enable IP Pass-through: Enables or disables IP Pass-through.
n
Pinhole Configuration: Specifies whether specific network services/ports are
n
configured as pinholes for purposes of managing the Digi device.
5. Click Apply.
Host List Settings
Use the Host List Settings page to add or remove entries from the host list. For Digi devices using the
DialServ feature, the host list provides a means to map a phone number to a network destination.
The Host List settings are:
Local Name: A phone number.
n
Resolves To: a network destination.
n
Add button: Adds the entry to the host list.
n
When accessing a device by name, the Digi device tries to locate the name within the host list. When it
finds a match, it maps the host name to the alias. Typically, you can use this as a first means of
locating the destination address before using the domain name system (DNS).
Each host list entry consists of a local name string which is mapped to an resolves to destination. You
can specify a destination that is either an IP Address or Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN). By
creating several entries, the host list will allow a many-to-one mapping of multiple host names to a
single destination, as well as a one-to-many mapping of a host name to multiple destinations. The
one-to-many mapping allows a fail-over option; that is, a connection to the IP address first tries to
resolve to the first name in the host list. If that connection attempt fails, then it tries to resolve to the
next name in the host list.
Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol VRRP settings
Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) is a redundancy protocol for routers. VRRP allows several
routers on a subnet to use the same virtual IP address, with the physical routers representing a
