Use Python to respond to Digi Remote Manager SCI requests
The device_request Python module allows you to interact with Digi Remote Manager by using
Remote Manager's Server Command Interface (SCI), a web service that allows users to access
information and perform commands that relate to their devices.
Use Remote Manager's SCI interface to create SCIrequests that are sent to your IX30 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 IX30 device to create a response
1. Select a device in Remote Manager that is configured to allow shell access to the admin user,
and click Actions > Open Console. Alternatively, log into the IX30 local 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 3.10.1 (default, May 9 2021, 22:49:59)

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)
>>>
