This document describes how to connect the Digi IX20 modem to the viewLinc Enterprise Server for use as an SMS modem. The modem can be connected to the server using a serial or Ethernet connection. Administrator access to the viewLinc Enterprise Server is required.
| NOTICE
The Digi IX20 modem is delivered preconfigured with a custom setup that works with the viewLinc software. Do not update the firmware or press the Erase button without contacting Vaisala technical support at helpdesk@vaisala.com first. |
It is important to note that the Digi IX20 modem is factory-configured to be a cloud product, so you must take extra preliminary steps to ensure that the modem does not connect to any third-party cloud services during setup, maintenance, or operation. Disable all internet gateway and Digi cloud service connections (these are enabled by default).
| SMS modem messages are limited to 70 characters in length. Message length can increase if your network supports longer SMS messages. |
