What's New in Digi Remote Manager?
Digi 360 Auto Registration
Devices sold with Digi 360 or Lifecycle Assurance can now be added to existing accounts effortlessly. No need to worry about device limits. Devices can be added individually or bulk imported using a CSV file. See the documentation for step-by-step instructions.
Simplified Modem Management
