Choose Ping, TCP Connection, or DNS Lookup
For these methods, when the device fails over from the primary to the secondary hostname, the
device continues to monitor the primary hostname. If a connection to the primary hostname is
established, the device disconnects from the secondary hostname and re-connects to the primary
hostname.
Choose Device Cloud
For the Device Cloud method, the device only switches between hostnames if the currently active
hostname becomes unresponsive.
Time settings
XBee Industrial Gateway uses Network Time Protocol (NTP) for time synchronization. Using NTP
requires an external NTP time server. Time synchronization is critical to the security of the device,
including validating the certificates that sign firmware update images, as well as to verify the server
certificate when connecting to Remote Manager. Steps are taken to preserve a sense of the time
across reboots, but the availability of an NTP server or servers is important to the long-term health of
the device.
In environments where the device cannot directly connect to the Internet, you need to configure the
time server setting to point to a local NTP server when accurate long-term time is required. Most
users do not need to change the time server setting. If the Digi device is already connected to Remote
Manager, you can adjust the time server configuration from Remote Manager.
The default time settings are sufficient for most users. See Default behavior regarding NTP time
server access for more information about default behavior.
