Atimed connection is another form of a device-initiated connection. For a timed connection, the
Remote Manager-registered device tries to connect to theRemote Manager Server at a configured,
regular interval (period). If a connection to an Remote Manager Server is already established, the
timed connection will not be attempted. The next attempt for a timed connection will occur at the
next scheduled interval.
Device IP address updates
Changesto the IPaddressfor an Remote Manager-registered device present a challenge in Remote
Manager server-initiated connections, because Remote Manager needs to locate the Remote Manager-
registered device by its new IPaddress. Remote Manager devices handle addresschanges by sending
a deviceIPaddressupdate to Remote Manager. An IPaddressupdate permits Remote Manager to
connect to the Remote Manager-registered device, or to dynamically update a DNSwith the IP
addressof the Remote Manager-registered device.
Device-Initiated Remote Manager Connection settings

Enable Device-Initiated Remote Manager Connection: When enabled, the Remote Manager-
registered device initiatesthe connection to the Remote Manager.
n
Remote Manager Server Address: The IPaddressor hostname of the Remote Manager
platform.

Automatically reconnect to Remote Manager after being disconnected
Reconnect after: When enabled, the Remote Manager-registered device automatically
reconnects to Remote Manager after being disconnected and waiting for the specified amount
of time.
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 Addressupdates to the following server: Enablesor disablesa connection to
Remote Manager to inform Remote Manager of the IPaddressof the Remote Manager-registered
device, known as a device IPaddressupdate. ThispermitsRemote Manager to connect back to the
Remote Manager-registered device, or to dynamically update a DNSwith the IPaddress of theRemote
Manager-registered device.
Remote Manager Server Address: The IPaddressor hostname of the Remote Manager platform.
Retry if the IPaddress update fails:
Retry after: These options specify whether another IPaddress update attempt should be made after
a previousattempt failed, and how often the retry attempts should occur.
Timed Remote Manager connection
n
Enable Timed Remote Manager Connection: When enabled, thisDigi device initiatesthe
connection to the Remote Manager Server at the configured interval (period). Atimed
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 IPaddressor hostname of the Remote Manager Server.
