3G algorithm
For 3G, the IX10 determines RSSI signal strength:
RSSI > -80, bars=5
-90 < RSSI <= -80, bars=4
-100 < RSSI <= -90, bars=3
-106 < RSSI <= -100, bars=2
RSSI <= -106, if we're connected to the cellular network, bars=1, if not bars=0
bars is then reported as the signal strength bars.
2G algorithm
For 2G, the IX10 determines RSSI signal strength:
RSSI > -80, bars=5
-89 < RSSI <= -80, bars=4
-98 < RSSI <= -89, bars=3
-104 < RSSI <= -98, bars=2
RSSI <= -104, if we're connected to the cellular network, bars=1, if not bars=0
bars is then reported as the signal strength bars.
IX10 power supply requirements
IX10 is intended to be powered by a certified power supply with output rated at either 12 VDC/0.75 A
or 24 VDC/0.375 A minimum.
n
Use the Digi power supply accessory kit 76002104.
n
If you are providing the DC power source with a non-Digi power supply, you must use a
certified LPS power supply rated at either 12 VDC/0.75 A or 24 VDC/0.375 A minimum. The
voltage tolerance supports +/- 10% (9 VDC to 30 VDC) at 9 Watts minimum.
n
For installations requiring protective earth grounding, connect the -ve terminal of the power
connector to the system protective earth with a minimum 1mm2 stranded single insulated
cable. Crimp terminals should be used for all connections.
Digi IX10 serial connector pinout

Pin number RS232 signal
RS485 half-
duplex signal
1 RI
2 DSR
3 RTS
4 GND GND
5 Tx TxD/RxD+
