Device Identity parameters
You can configure the identity of your router with the Digi TransPort web interface. To configure
your router’s device identity, set the following values:
Description
A description that uniquely identifies the router. This description is when there are many routers
on a site. A descriptive name can be an easier identifier than its serial number or other unique
parameter. The SNMP function in the router uses this parameter.
Contact
A contact name for the router.
Location
A location string for the router, which again may be helpful when referring to a particular router
within a site or for identifying a particular site.
Device ID
This field is taken from the Remote Manager configuration and should not normally need to be
changed. When using Remote Manager to manage the router, the configuration procedure
assigns a device ID to the router. The device ID is a 64-byte value, with each 8-byte section
separated with a - character. Valid digits are upper case hexadecimal. The first 16 digits (reading
from left to right) are normally set to 0. The second 16 digits comprise the MAC address of the
primary Ethernet interface and the digits FF to make up the full 8-digit. The following device ID
illustrates the format, using the MAC address 00:11:22:33:44:55.:
00000000-00000000-001122FF-FF334455
