Network Service Configuration page descriptions

The following table describes each of the sections in the Network Service Configuration page.

For information about configuring this page, see Configure network services.

Network Service setting Services provided Default TCP port number
Enable Secure Shell Server (SSH) Reserved for remote device access by Digi personnel for debugging purposes. 22
Enable Web Server (HTTP) HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP), also known as Web Server. HTTP provides access to web pages for configuration and web services. HTTP and HTTPS are also referred to as Web Server or Secure Web Server. These services control the use of the web interface. If HTTP and HTTPS are disabled, device users cannot use the web interface to configure, monitor, and administer the device. 80

Enable Web Services Events

In the web services, the Event Channel is the mechanism for delivering asynchronous, out-of-band data, such as alarms and periodic updates from subscriptions to vehicle data endpoints. For more information about the web services, see the Wireless Vehicle Bus Adapter Application Developer Guide.

This setting is disabled by default. Set the port number to a value between 1025 and 65535 that is not already assigned to another service. The example below shows the TCP port being set to 5000, which is the TCP port number set in the WVA demo application.

Advanced Device Discovery Protocol (ADDP) Mode

Digi's Advanced Device Discovery Protocol allows devices to be found on a network, regardless of protocol. You can also use ADDP to change network settings, or disable the service completely.

There are three settings for this network service:

  • Read-Write: Allows discovery of devices and the ability to change network settings. This is the default setting.
  • Read-Only: Allows discovery of devices only.
  • Off: Turns off the ADDP network service. This setting completely closes the network port used for device discovery.
