New Updates for Digi International Products

Digi International has released a new stable firmware version, 24.6.17.54, for their TX, IX, and EX cellular products. This update brings new features, enhancements, bug fixes, and security improvements. Additionally, significant updates have been made to Digi Remote Manager, their cloud management service, to enhance usability and insights.

Affected Models

The following models are affected by this firmware update:

• EX Series: EX12, EX15/EX15W, EX50
• IX Series: IX10, IX20/IX20W, IX30, IX40
• TX Series: TX54, TX64, TX40

New Features for IX10 Models

Hybrid IPv4 Addressing Mode: This mode allows the device to first attempt obtaining an IPv4 address using DHCP. If it fails to get an address within a minute, it will revert to the statically configured IPv4 address. This feature facilitates automatic connection and management via Digi Remote Manager when connected to a network that supports DHCP. Note that the addressing type must be changed to either DHCP or static after the first configuration change.

Enhancements for All Models

1. WAN-Bonding Enhancements:
   • SureLink Support: Improved monitoring of tunnel connections.

2. Wireguard Updates:
   • Users can now generate a client configuration that can be copied onto another device using the command wireguard generate <tunnel> <peer>. Additional client information may be needed depending on the configuration.

Bug Fixes for All Models

• Automatic restart of the WAN Bonding client upon configuration changes or crashes.
• Prevention of client restarts when an interface goes up or down.
