Configure Digi devices
– Connection Method: The method for connecting to the Connectware Manager
server.
TCP: Connect using TCP. This is the default connection method, and is
typically good enough for most connections. It is the most efficient method
of connecting to the remote server in terms of speed and transmitted data
bytes.
Automatic: Automatically detect the connection method. This connection
method is less efficient than TCP, but it is useful in situations where a
firewall or proxy may prevent direct connection via TCP. Automatic will
try each combination until a connection is made. This connection method
requires the HTTP over Proxy Settings to be specified.
None: This value has the same effect as selecting TCP.
HTTP: Connect using HTTP.
HTTP over Proxy: Connect using HTTP.
– HTTP over Proxy Settings: The settings required to communicate over a
proxy network using HTTP. These settings apply when Automatic or HTTP
over Proxy connection methods are selected.
Hostname: The name of the proxy host.
TCP Port: The network port number for the TCP network service on the
proxy host.
Username:
Password: The username and password for logging on to the proxy host.
Enable persistent proxy connections: Specifies whether the Digi device
should attempt to use HTTP persistent connections. Not all HTTP proxies
correctly handle HTTP persistent connections. The use of persistent
connections can improve performance of the exchange of messages
between the device server and Connectware Manager, when that
connection is HTTP/proxy. The reason for this is that the same HTTP
connection can be reused for multiple consecutive HTTP requests and
replies, eliminating the overhead of establishing a new TCP connection for
each individual HTTP request/reply, then closing that connection when the
request is complete.
