The Remote Command Interface (RCI)
Remote Command Interface (RCI) is a programmatic interface for configuring and
controlling Connect family devices. RCI is an XML-based request/response protocol that
allows a caller to query and modify device configurations, access statistics, reboot the
device, and reset the device to factory defaults.
Unlike other configuration interfaces that are designed for a user, such as the command-
line or browser interfaces, RCI is designed to be used by a program. A typical use of RCI
is in a Java applet that can be stored on the Connect device to replace the default web
interface with a custom browser interface. Another example is a custom application
running on a PC that monitors and controls an installation of many Connect devices.
Advantages
Disadvantages
Using RCI as a device configuration interface presents these disadvantages:
Allows multiple devices to be managed (configured and monitored) from one
source.
Server can also be managed from same location.
Logs and reports can be generated and reviewed. Summaries or totals can be
linked back to the original devices for more thorough investigations.
Devices must be provisioned (assigned an IP address) before they can be
accessed on Connectware Manager (use the Digi Connect Wizard to provision
devices.)
Must have Internet access.
As RCI is designed to be used by a program, it is useful when creating a custom
configuration user interface, or if you want to create utilities to configure or
initialize devices through external programs or scripts.
