Get started with Digi Remote Manager
Configure device settings in Remote Manager
You can configure each XBee device from Remote Manager. The devices must be in the Remote
Manager inventory device list and be active.
Note Digi Remote Manager requires TCP and will not work with NB-IoT, unless the carrier supports
TCP.
1. Set up a persistent connection to connect the device to Remote Manager using one of the
following methods:
Remote Manager: A persistent connection can be set up in Remote Manager. This
n
option should be used when you have many deployed devices and no local access. See
Restore persistent connection to a remote
XCTU: This option allows immediate access, and should be used when you have local
n
access, such as when using a development kit or in a lab environment. See
Options)
2. Log into Remote
3. Click Device Management > Devices.
4. Select the device that you want to configure.
5. Click Properties in the toolbar. As an alternative, click Properties > Edit Device
Configuration. The configuration Home page appears.
6. Click Config in the toolbar to display the settings sub-menus.
7. Click on the settings category that you want to configure. The settings in that category appear.
8. Make the desired configuration changes. See
in the categories.
9. As you finish configuring in each setting category, click Apply to save the changes. If the
changes are valid, Remote Manager writes them to non-volatile memory and applies them.
10. When all changes are complete,
Configure Remote Manager keepalive interval
Note Digi Remote Manager requires TCP and will not work with NB-IoT, unless the carrier supports
TCP.
Managing the data usage and the keepalive interval is important if you have the
Options) command bit 0 set to 1 or if you have enabled the
Manager.
Digi Remote Manager is enabled on the XBee by default and has a 60 second keepalive interval, which
can result in excessive cellular data usage, depending on your plan. The
used to tune the keepalive interval. Your carrier will disconnect an inactive socket automatically if
there is no activity, so you need to tune this value based on your carrier's disconnect timeout.
You can further reduce your data usage by periodically duty cycling your Remote Manager connection,
either from MicroPython or your host processor. For example, you could enable the Remote Manager
connection for 2 hours a day and then disable the connection for 22 hours. Your host processor or
MicroPython program would need to keep track of the time to ensure the time interval.
