Troubleshoot
Purpose: Diagnose and resolve common issues encountered when creating, applying, or modifying templates in Digi Remote Manager. Templates are based on a device configuration—the full set of settings, firmware, and files—which may originate from a model device or an existing template.
Symptoms
-
Settings are missing or incorrect after template creation
-
Firmware or files are not included as expected
Possible causes
-
The model device was not fully configured before template creation
-
The source device configuration was incomplete or outdated
-
Certain settings were not captured during template creation
Resolution
-
Revalidate the model device and confirm all desired settings, firmware, and files are present
-
Recreate the template from the corrected model device
-
If copying, verify the source template contains the required configuration
Symptoms
-
Devices do not behave as expected after applying the template
-
Configuration appears partially applied
Possible causes
-
Device compatibility issues (model, firmware version)
-
Conflicting existing settings on the target device
-
Unsupported parameters in the device configuration
Resolution
-
Confirm the template is compatible with the target device type and firmware
-
Reset or normalize the target device configuration before applying the template
-
Review template contents for unsupported or device-specific settings
Symptoms
-
Template includes settings not intentionally configured
-
Environment-specific values (e.g., IPs, credentials) are present
Possible causes
-
The source device configuration contained unintended or legacy settings
-
The model device was not cleaned prior to template creation
Resolution
-
Audit the model device or source template configuration
-
Remove environment-specific or temporary values
-
Recreate the template from a clean baseline
Symptoms
-
Model device not selectable or missing
-
Template creation fails or is incomplete
Possible causes
-
Device is offline or not properly registered in Digi Remote Manager
-
Insufficient permissions
-
Device state is not supported for template creation
Resolution
-
Ensure the model device is online and fully provisioned in Digi Remote Manager
-
Verify user permissions for template creation
-
Confirm the device is in a valid and stable state
Symptoms
-
Modifications to a template are not saved
-
Reverting to previous configuration
Possible causes
-
Changes not properly committed
-
Editing the wrong template instance
-
System or session timeout
Resolution
-
Confirm changes are saved and committed in the UI
-
Verify you are modifying the correct template
-
Reapply changes and validate after saving
Symptoms
-
Devices retain old firmware after template application
Possible causes
-
Firmware not included in the template’s device configuration
-
Firmware update settings not enabled
Resolution
-
Ensure firmware is explicitly included in the template
-
Verify update behavior settings within the template
-
Recreate or update the template with correct firmware configuration
Symptoms
-
Same template produces different results on different devices in the same group
Possible causes
-
Variations in device firmware or hardware
-
Pre-existing configuration differences
-
Conditional or unsupported settings
Resolution
-
Standardize firmware versions across devices
-
Normalize device configurations before applying the template
-
Validate template against each target device type
If the above steps don’t resolve the issue, gather the following information:
-
Device model and firmware version
-
WAN Bonding configuration details (modes, server type, authentication)
-
System logs and bonding debug output
-
DRM device ID and bonding profile name
