Digi Remote Manager support
Digi Remote Manager is a hosted remote configuration and management system that allows you to
remotely manage a large number of devices. Remote Manager includes a web-based interface that
you can use to perform device operations, such as viewing and changing device configurations and
performing firmware updates. Remote Manager servers also provide a data storage facility. The Digi
Remote Manager is the default cloud-based management system, and is enabled by default. You can
also select to use Digi aView as the cloud-based management system. See Digi aView User Guide for
