Use Remote Manager's SCI interface to create SCIrequests that are sent to your IX14 device, and use
the device_request module to send responses to those requests to Remote Manager.
See the Digi Remote Manager Programmers Guide for more information on SCI.
Task one: Use the device_request module on your IX14 device to create a response
1. Log into the IX14 command line as a user with shell access.
Depending on your device configuration, you may be presented with an Access selection
menu. Type shell to access the device shell.
2. At the shell prompt, use the python command with no parameters to enter an interactive
Python session:
# python
Python 3.6.13 (default, May 9 2021, 22:49:59)
[GCC 8.3.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>
3. Import the device_request module:
>>> from digidevice import device_request
>>>
4. Create a function to handle the request from Remote Manager:
>>> def handler(target, request):
print ("received request %s for target %s" % (request, target))
return "OK"
>>>
5. Register a callbackup function that will be called when the device receives a SCI request from
Remote Manager:
>>> device_request.register("myTarget", handler)
>>>
Note Leave the interactive Python session active while completing task two, below. Once you have
completed task two, exit the interactive session by using Ctrl-D. You can also exit the session using
exit() or quit().
Task two: Create and send an SCIrequest from Digi Remote Manager
The second step in using the device_request module is to create an SCI request that Remote Manager
will forward to the device. For example, you can create in SCI request a the Remote Manager API
explorer:
1. In Remote Manager, click Documentation > API Explorer.
2. Select the device to use as the SCI target:
a. Click SCI Targets.
b. Click Add Targets.
c. Enter or select the device ID of the device.
