Enable Remote Manager connectivity (optional)

By default, the connectivity of the WVA device to Remote Manager for remote device management is disabled.

Digi Remote Manager® connectivity is typically only available when the WVA is in Infrastructure mode, operating as a Wi-Fi client, and the device acting as the access point for the WVA forwards traffic to the Internet.

Note To serve our customers most effectively, Digi International Inc. is consolidating its cloud services, Digi Device Cloud and Digi Remote Manager®, under the Remote Manager name. This phased process does not affect device functionality or the functionality of the web services and other features. However, you will find instances of both Device Cloud and Digi Remote Manager in some documentation, firmware, and user interfaces.

To enable Remote Manager connectivity:

1. If enabling Remote Manager, you must set the WVA real-time clock through web services. See Default behavior regarding time. An example of setting time via web services is included in the WVA demo application.
2. Open the WVA web interface.
3. In the web interface, go to Configuration > Device Cloud Connectivity. The Device Cloud Configuration page displays.
4. Select the Enable Device Cloud Connectivity option. Do not change the default values in the dialog.
   
5. Click Apply.
6. When Remote Manager connectivity is enabled, several network connection states are added to the Network Connectivity Status list on the Device Information page. For descriptions of each option, see Device Information page descriptions.
