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 of the router that can be used to uniquely identify it. This is useful where there
are a large number of routers on a site and a descriptive name would be easier to use when
referring to the router, rather than having to use the serial number or other unique
parameter. This parameter is used by the SNMP function within the router.
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:
00000000-00000000-001122FF-FF334455
This example uses the MAC address 00:11:22:33:44:55.
Router Identity
A string of up to 20 characters that identify the router in email alert messages generated by
the event logger. This string also serves as the prompt string during a remote login. The
factory configuration uses the character sequence %s. This sequence is replaced by the serial
number of the router when the unit identity is displayed. This character sequence can be used
when creating a custom identity for the router. For example, if the serial number of the router
is 012345, entering the string My_Router_%s> would show the prompt My_Router_012345>
during a remote login.
