25.5.52.21 - May 2025, Feature

Release category: Recommended

New features

  1. Support for Enhanced Location Services has been added for real-time geolocation and signal quality insights.

    Benefits

    Device Requirements

    New in Digi Remote Manager

    Configuration settings

    Near real-time (as fast as every 10s) location updates.

    Only supported on devices with GNSS/GPS capabilities.

    Map overlays for signal quality, carrier, and connection status.

    Enable via DigiRM: Settings > Monitoring > Enhanced Location Services.

    Historical cellular performance data (e.g., signal strength by location).

    Filters for carrier/provider/signal strength.

    Adjustable reporting interval: 10s to 1 hour.

    Valuable for mobile assets: buses, trains, field devices.

    Timeline-based playback of device movement and connectivity history.

     

    Troubleshooting dead zones and coverage issues becomes easier.

    Split-view support for devices with dual modems.

     

  2. Support for 5G Slicing for T-Mobile phase 1 has been added. 5G Slicing allows traffic to be routed through multiple dedicated logical networks—called “slices”—on a single 5G connection. These slices can be tailored for different latency, bandwidth, and priority needs.

    Benefits

    Supported devices

    Configuration overview

    UI enhancements

    Eliminates the need for multiple modems/SIMs.

    5G SA-capable routers only.

    1. Access network settings and set number of modem interfaces.

    1. Select slice type (e.g., eMBB, URLLC, Massive IoT).

    2. Enter Slice Differentiator (provided by the carrier).

      Each slice becomes a routable WAN interface in Digi Remote Manager (DRM).

    Digi Remote Manager DRM now displays multiple network slices per SIM.

    Simplifies traffic segmentation.

    Up to 8 slices supported per SIM (based on carrier provisioning).
    Enables carrier-side traffic prioritization.

     
    Supports use cases like robotics, edge computing, and public safety.

     

Enhancements

  1. Added settings to serial Autoconnect to allow for a interactive login session.

  2. The configuration for the Digi Remote Manager query state support has been split out from the metrics configuration and is now under cloud > drm > telemetry.

  3. The Digi Remote Manager query state support has been updated to reduce the CPU usage.

  4. The health metrics support has been updated to stop taking samples when the health metrics are disabled.

  5. The query state support has been updated to store the reboot reason on boot up. Previously, the reboot reason was being read from the event log and would be lost after the device has been up for a while resulting in the query state not reporting the reboot reason.

  6. The query_state RCI command in Digi Remote Manager has been updated to support a “live” mode option to trigger the device to refresh its query_state details immediately and report the new values in the RCI response.

  7. Add CLI-formatted configuration settings to the support report.

  8. Support for the AView cloud management system has been removed.

Bug fixes

  1. An issue with the Wireguard support where the public and private keys were not being generated when configured via Digi Remote Manager has been resolved. [DAL-11174].

  2. The location forwarder support has been updated to resolve an issue where updates could be lost or duplicated when the interval was set to 1 second. [DAL-11175].

  3. The following issues with Query State has been resolved:

    • IPsec query state failing is an IPsec tunnel was deleted [DAL-11442].

    • The cellular TX and RX bytes were incorrectly calculated [DAL-11444].

  4. An issue where a Python device request registration could fail if there is no Digi Remote Manager connection has been resolved. [DAL-11450].

  5. An issue where initial cellular connectivity was delayed due to an un-necessary carrier firmware check has been resolved. [DAL-11356].

  6. An issue where the logs for the SNMP service could fill up the system log directory has been resolved [DAL-11431]

  7. An issue where cellular data statistics reported to Digi Remote Manager could be lost for the past hour when a reboot occurs has been resolved. [DAL-10524].

  8. An issue where the system would log an error starting syslog due to a missing date requirement has been resolved.

  9. An issue where IPsec tunnels may not fail back to the primary Internet connection after an outage has been resolved. [DAL-11065].

  10. An issue where a Softbank SIM inside an EX50 could not connect to the cellular network in Japan has been resolved [DAL-10697].
