The Management page allows you to perform several management operations on your device:

To access the Management page, click Management on the left navigation bar.

Management
The application is specific to your ConnectCore platform, so your screen may look different than the one shown here.

System monitor

The System monitor service controls:

  • The frequency at which parameter values are sampled.

  • The number of samples of every parameter that are gathered before uploading to Digi Remote Manager.

System monitor

To configure the System monitor service:

  1. Set the preferred Time between samples.

    All device parameters are read in block. This setting establishes the time to wait between these read operations. For demo purposes, this setting value is configured to a low value so changes can be appreciated more frequently.

  2. Set the preferred number of Samples to buffer.

    To reduce the number of Remote Manager transactions, each read parameter is buffered internally. When the desired amount of samples of each parameter is reached, all samples are uploaded all at once to Remote Manager in a single operation.

  3. Click Save to apply the configuration.

With the above System monitor configuration, the device:

  • Retrieves system parameters every 15 seconds.

  • After 4 read operations, all the read samples are uploaded to Remote Manager.

This means that an upload operation occurs every 60 seconds containing 4 samples of each parameter.

Reboot

The Management page includes device reboot functionality.
