Managing alarms through Device Cloud

All alarms can be sent to Device Cloud for display and management from that interface. See

"Alarms" on page 151.

Users settings

Users settings involve several areas:

 User authentication: whether authentication is required for users accessing the Digi

device, and the information required to access it. You can choose to have the user

authentication be by username and password or by an SSH public key. Depending on the

Digi product, multiple users and their authentication information can be defined. User

authentication settings are on the Users settings page.

 User access settings: the device interfaces that a user can access, such as the command

line or web interface.

 User permissions settings: the permissions a user has to access and configure the Digi

Connect device.

 Network configuration settings to further secure your device: Digi devices with Cellular

capability present additional security considerations, mainly involving securing the

border between the Digi device and the cellular network. Several settings on the

Network Configuration pages are available to further secure the Digi device.For

example, unused network services can be disabled on the Network Services page. On

the IP Filtering page, you can allow access from a specified devices and networks, and

drop all other connection attempts.

About user models and user permissions

In Digi devices that have a one-user model:

 By default, there is no login prompt.

 The default name for user 1 is root. This user is also known as the administrative user.

 User 1 has permissions that enables it to do all commands. Permissions cannot be

altered.

Several user models are implemented in the Digi Connect Family products:

 Two-user model

 More than two-user model

To determine which user model is implemented:

 In the web interface, if the menu includes Users, the Digi Connect device uses either the

two-user model or the more than two users model.

 In the command-line interface, issue a show user or set user command. In the

command output, note how many user IDs are defined: one, two, or more than two. Or,

issue a set user ? command and note the range for the id=range option. If the id=range

is not listed, there is only one user. Otherwise, the range for user IDs is displayed. These

commands are described in the Digi Connect Family Command Reference.
