Introduction
Alarms
Digi devices can be configured to issue alarms, in the form of email message or SNMP
traps, when certain device events occur. These events include certain data patterns being
detected in the data stream, and cellular alarms for signal strength and amount of cellular
traffic for a given period of time. Receiving alarms about these conditions provides the
advantage of notifications being issued when events occur, rather than having to monitor
the device on an ongoing basis to determine whether these events have occurred. Alarms
can also be forwarded to Connectware Manager for display and management in that
platform. For more information on configuring alarms, see "Configure alarms" on page
149.
Modem emulation
Digi devices include a configuration profile that allows the device to emulate a modem.
Modem emulation sends and receives modem responses to a serial device over TCP/IP
(including Ethernet and Cellular) instead of Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN).
The modem emulation profile allows maintaining a current software application but using
it over the less expensive Ethernet network. In addition, Telnet processing can be enabled
or disabled on the incoming and outgoing modem-emulation connections.The modem-
emulation commands supported in Digi devices are documented in the Digi Connect
Family Command Reference.
