As of April 19, 2024, Digi International is thrilled to announce the rollout of its newest stable firmware, version 24.3.28.88, catering to Enterprise (EX), Transportation (TX), and Industrial (IX) devices. This release marks a significant milestone, incorporating a plethora of new features, enhancements, bug fixes, and crucial security updates to ensure unparalleled performance and reliability across all Digi devices.
What’s New?
One of the highlights of this firmware update is the introduction of support for WireGuard VPNs across all EX, TX, and IX devices. WireGuard, known for its efficiency and security, enhances the connectivity options for users, offering a streamlined and secure VPN solution.
Furthermore, users can now leverage a new Ookla-based speed test, accessible via Digi Remote Manager® (Digi RM), empowering them to monitor and optimize network performance seamlessly.
Enhancements Galore
In addition to new features, Digi’s latest firmware brings forth several enhancements aimed at optimizing functionality and expanding versatility. Notable enhancements include the addition of support for a WAN Bonding backup server, providing redundancy and reliability in critical network environments. Moreover, users now have the flexibility to configure the WAN Bonding UDP port, tailoring it to their specific requirements.
Another significant enhancement is the ability to configure preferred cellular bands for 4G and 5G connections. While this empowers users to fine-tune their network settings for optimal performance, it’s imperative to exercise caution to avoid potential connectivity issues.
Furthermore, the updated System Watchdog now offers comprehensive monitoring capabilities for interfaces and cellular modems, ensuring heightened system integrity and uptime.
Unleashing New Possibilities
Digi’s commitment to innovation extends to practical features designed to enhance user experience and compatibility. With the latest firmware, users can now connect a USB printer to their devices via a USB port, enabling seamless printing functionality. This feature can be accessed using Python or socat to open a TCP port for processing printer requests, offering greater convenience and utility.
For Verizon 5G customers utilizing the EX50, configuring the connection just got easier with the addition of the Verizon default 5G APN, ‘V5GA01INTERNET,’ to the fallback list. This eliminates the need for manual APN configuration, simplifying the setup process and expediting connectivity.
