TX40 quick start guide

Introduction

Welcome to the product model router quick start guide, which walks you through the essential steps to deploy your router efficiently, ensuring you are up and running in no time.

You're here because you scanned the QR code on the Welcome card that came inside the router box.

Before you begin

Review your Digi 360 subscription information.

A CONGRATULATIONS! sticker is now included on the outside of EX, IX, and TX router boxes. This sticker means you have the Digi 360 subscription and all your devices have Digi 360 licenses. Scan the QR code or go to the Digi 360 page on digi.com for information about this subscription, including benefits and warranty.

Keep the extra product label sticker in a safe place.

Every Digi router has a product label on the bottom, which has information unique to that device, including product model, part number, QR code, password, MAC address and serial number. There is an identical sticker included in the router box. You can refer to the information on this extra sticker if you do not have access to the hardware. Using the extra product label sticker is the most efficient way to register routers in Digi Remote Manager.

Instructions

 

1. Set up the router hardware.

   1. Install the SIM card(s) into the router by following the procedure found in the TX40 DAL OS product-specific user guide.

   2. Connect the antennas to the router.

      There are two Fakra antennas for a 4G router. Push in each antenna into the WWAN 1 and WWAN-2 connectors.

      There are four Fakra antennas for a 5G router. Push in each Fakra antenna into the WWAN-1, WWAN-2, WWAN-3, and WWAN-4 connectors.

      

   3. Using an Ethernet cable, connect the TX40's WAN/ETH1 port to the internet, such as a home internet router or LAN Ethernet port in an office environment.

      

   4. Connect DC power.

      

      Refer to the power connector pin out details below. See Connect power in the TX40 DAL OS user guide for more information.

      Pin	Connection
      IGN	Ignition sense The Ignition sense line needs to be high in order for the product model to boot up. It can be connected to the +VE terminal if using a power supply.
      +	Positive (+VE)
      -	Negative (-VE)

2. Register for a Digi Remote Manager account.

   • If you need to register a new company account and you have a never-registered Digi 360 router, follow the procedure called Quick start | New Digi Remote Manager account creation in the Digi Remote Manager user guide. Once you have completed it, skip to Step 3: Register your device and finish this quick start.

   • If you already have a Digi Remote Manager account, skip to Step 3: Register your device.

   • If you do not use Digi Remote Manager and want to configure the device locally, you can skip steps 4 and 5 and configure your device locally. See the Firmware configuration section in your product-specific DAL OS user guide.

3. Register your router in Digi Remote Manager.

   Follow the procedure Register a device in the Digi Remote Manager user guide.

4. Complete setup.

   The router should connect to Digi Remote Manager within a couple of minutes.

   

   If newer firmware is available, Digi Remote Manager will prompt you to update the router. In the dialog box, click Update to upgrade the firmware. Remote Manager will perform the update in the background and let you know when it is completed.

   

   Click Done when the firmware upgrade is complete.

5. Configure cellular APN.

   If you inserted a SIM in Step 1: Set up the router hardware, the device will attempt to set up the APN automatically. However, if your SIM was set up with a custom APN, you will need to configure it manually:

   1. Navigate to the Settings tab in the Digi Remote Manager Device Details view.

   2. Expand the Config menu item and click the Network settings menu.

   3. Expand Interfaces > Modem > modem > APN list > APN list 1.

   4. For APN, enter the custom APN provided by your cellular provider.

   5. Click Apply.

   6. Navigate to the Details tab and watch for confirmation of cellular connectivity.

Your router hardware is set up, connected to the internet, and registered in Digi Remote Manager.
