The August release of Digi Remote Manager® has arrived! This latest release includes more features and updates focused on subaccount management, usability enhancements, and a new feature: the Notification Center. We are working on enhancements every day, including new APIs and UI functionality. To better support the transition to the new UI, we are also creating training modules focused on the usability of Digi Remote Manager.

As always, we value your feedback! Use the in-app Feedback feature to share your suggestions and comments directly with us. You can find this feature in the user menu in the upper right of the page and select “Feedback.”

Here are just a few of the updates and highlights.
 

New Feature: Notification Center

You can now receive notifications and messages for new firmware updates, upcoming releases, and more. Messages can be received both in-app and via email.

Feature Highlight: Configuration Manager

If you have not yet had a chance to try the new Configuration Manager, be sure to check it out. Configuration Manager is an enhancement of the previous Profiles feature that allows you to enable automated management of your devices' firmware, settings, and files.

By creating a Configuration for a group, you can easily scale and automate your deployments by simply adding your devices to the appropriate group and Configuration Manager will take over from there to ensure that your devices get the appropriate firmware, settings, and files.

If you ever need to swap in new equipment, Configuration Manager simplifies that process by automatically providing the new device with the approved configuration.
