Timed Remote Manager connection
n 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
connection defers to (will not disrupt) an established Remote Manager connection. If a timed
connection defers to an existing Remote Manager connection, or if the Digi device server
cannot successfully establish the timed connection, the Digi device server will try again at the
next interval.
n Remote Manager Server Address: The IP address or hostname of the Remote Manager
Server.
n Connect every: H hrs M mins: The interval (period) in hours and minutes in which the Digi
device server attempts a timed connection to the specified Remote Manager Server.
n After boot, wait before first timed connection: When the Digi device server boots (starts
up), you may observe a delay before the first timed connection is attempted. Choose one of the
following options on how to handle the delay:
l Immediate: Attempt first timed connection immediately.
l One Interval: Attempt the first timed connection after one configured interval (period) has
elapsed.
l Random Delay: Attempt the first timed connection after a random interval of time
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.
Advanced Remote Manager settings
The default settings for Remote Manager remote management work for most situations. The
advanced settings allow you to configure the idle timeout for the connection between the Remote
Manager-registered device and Remote Manager, and the keep-alive settings of the various interfaces
(TCP and HTTP for mobile and Ethernet network connections). You should only change the advanced
settings when the defaults do not properly work.
n Connection Settings: These settings configure the idle timeout for the connection between
the Remote Manager-registered device and Remote Manager.
l Disconnect when the Remote Manager Connection is idle
Idle Timeout: Enables or disables the idle timeout for the connection. When enabled, an
idle connection ends after the amount of time specified in the Idle Timeout setting.
l Authenticate to Remote Manager with a password
Password: These fields are only applicable when your Remote Manager account was
configured to expect a password from the Remote Manager-registered device. Typically,
you can set this option through Remote Manager, since you need to configure the Remote
Manager-registered device and Remote Manager identically.
