Important configurable settings
For the ConnectPort X2e ZB, most settings have reasonable defaults that do not need to be
changed. However, these are some important settings available in the configuration interfaces that
get the device up and communicating.
Ethernet IP network settings
Wi-Fi settings
NTP server settings
iDigi remote device management
Ethernet IP network settings
Ethernet IP network settings configure how the IP address of the Digi device for Ethernet network
communications is obtained, either by DHCP or by using a static IP address, subnet mask, and
default gateway, and Domain Name System (DNS) servers.
DHCP
The ConnectPort X2e ZB uses a DHCP server to obtain its IP address information, by default. A
DHCP server needs to provide an IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and Domain Name
System (DNS) server for the device. If you disable DHCP, you must set all of these settings
yourself.
In the absence of a DHCP server, a static IP address will need to be assigned, most easily by
accessing the device Digi Device Discovery tool and changing the network settings through that
interface.
IP Address
Subnet Mask
Default Gateway
These settings should be considered as a group, and only come into play when automatic IP address
assignment is disabled.
IP Address: The IP address is a 4-part ID assigned to network devices. IP addresses are
in the form of 192.168.2.2, where each number is between 0 and 255.
Subnet Mask: The Subnet Mask is combined with the IP address to determine which
network this Digi device is part of. A common subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
Default Gateway: The IP address of the computer that enables this Digi device to
access other networks, such as the Internet.
