Accessing the Remote Command Interface
RCI access consists of program calls.
Where to find more information
See the Digi Connect Integration Kit for more details on RCI.
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a protocol for managing and
monitoring network devices. The SNMP architecture enables a network administrator to
manage nodes--servers, workstations, routers, switches, hubs, etc.--on an IP network;
manage network performance, find and solve network problems, and plan for network
growth. Digi devices support SNMP Version 1.
Advantages
RCI uses HTTP as the underlying transport protocol. Depending on the
network configuration, use of HTTP as a transport protocol could be blocked
by some firewalls.
RCI is quite complex to use, requiring users to phrase configuration requests in
Extensible Markup Language (XML) format. It is a "power-user” option,
intended more for users developing their own user interfaces, or for users
implementing embedded control (and thus potentially using RCI over serial)
than for end-users with limited knowledge of device programming.
Not all actions taken through the default web interface have direct equivalents
in RCI. Therefore, it may not be easy for some end-users to determine what
needs to be sent via XML for a particular style of request.
SNMP is easy to implement in extensive networks.
Programming new variables is easy.
SNMP is widely used. SNMP is a standard interface that integrates well with
network management stations in an enterprise environment. While its
capabilities are limited to device monitoring and display of statistics in Connect
devices, read/write capabilities are expected to be added to Connect devices in
future releases.
It is easy to ‘drop in’ new devices.
