User interfaces:
– The ConnectPort X2e ZB has a web user interface for both network configuration and
access to the log file for troubleshooting the initial connection to iDigi. For more
information on the web interface, see "Configuration" on page 27.
– Command-line interface differences: The ConnectPort X2e ZB allows access to the
Linux shell using SSH. This shell and common operations are described on page 68.
Access to the gateway is at the user level; the user is named python and the password is
dbps. Access to a command-line interface through Telnet is not supported for network
security reasons. Commands in the command-line interface for predecessor
ConnectPort X products are not supported. However, some of the ConnectPort X2
command-line interface commands have equivalents in the Remote Command Interface
(RCI).
Firmware updates: Due to the complexity of the Linux-based system, standard
firmware updates cannot be used to downgrade a system.
Logging: The ConnectPort X2e ZB supports continuous logging for troubleshooting.
The log files can be browsed from the web interface or pulled from the device filesystem
in the iDigi interface. They are stored in the Linux filesystem in the /WEB/logging
directory and persist across reboots and power cycles.
Supported Python version: The ConnectPort X2e ZB uses Python interpreter version
2.7. Many predecessor ConnectPort X products use Python 2.4.
Any custom-compiled Python code must be recompiled for Python interpreter 2.7.
Custom Python modules are not 100% compatible with the ConnectPort X2e ZB.
Therefore, porting may be required in addition to recompiling.
