7. Select
PPP User
from the list if you set authentication method to None.
If you select the
Local
authentication method, you cannot select a PPP user separately. To
make the correct PPP connection with the
Local
serial port authentication method, you need
to have the PPP connection configuration with the same user name and password as in the
local system user database set on
Configuration
>
Users
. (See
.)
Note
If your serial port or internal modem uses local authentication with a user in the local
database, you must use the Show Terminal window on your PPP client. When the terminal
window opens, log in to the serial port and then close the terminal window. PPP negotiation
will start once you close the terminal window.
Alarms Configuration
Use the Alarms Configuration page to configure device alarms and displaying alarm settings. Device
alarms send email messages or SNMP traps when certain device events occur. These device events
include data patterns detected in the data stream, alarms for signal strength and amount of cellular
traffic for a given period of time.
Alarm notification settings
Use the Alarm Notification Settings page to configure the following:
n
Enable alarm notifications:
Enables or disables all alarm processing for the Digi device.
n
Send all alarms to the Remote Management server:
enables or disables sending of alarm
notifications to a server that handles remote management of devices, such as Remote
Manager.
Enabling this setting sends all alarm notifications to Remote Manager. Enable this option if the
Digi device is managed by a remote management server, such as Remote Manager. Enabling
this option is useful because it allows all alarms to be monitored from one location. Enabling
this option also allows Digi devices to send alarms to clients that would otherwise be
unreachable from the Digi device, either because the Digi device is behind a firewall or not on
the same network as the alarm destination.
When you disable this setting alarm notifications are not sent to Remote Manager. Disable this
setting if devices are not managed by a Remote Manager server or if alarms are sent from the
device. For example, an SNMP trap destination is local to the device, not Remote Manager.
n
Mail Server Address (SMTP):
Specifies the IP address of the SMTP mail server. Ask your
network administrator for this IP address.
n
From:
Specifies the text that used in the “From:” field for all alarms that are sent as emails.
Alarm list and status
The
Alarm Conditions
page lists all of the alarms. You can configure up to 32 alarms for a Digi device,
and you can individually enable and disable these alarms.
The alarm list displays the current status of each alarm. You can use this list to view alarm status at a
glance, then view more details for each alarm as needed.
