What's New in DAL OS 26.2 LTS and Digi Remote Manager

Digi Remote Manager

Digi Remote Manager enhancements in 26.2 LTS focus on improved usability, tighter template-driven configuration control, and new AI-powered capabilities to streamline device management, troubleshooting, and automation.

• AI integration via the MCP Model Context Protocol Server, which enables AI-driven workflows, provides access to device data, users, and telemetry, and supports integration with AI agents for troubleshooting, insights, and automation.

• Usability and UX improvements so you can save searches / quick filters for faster navigation, multi-select column filtering in device lists, improved notifications (device add/remove, firmware alerts), and support for 18-character ICCIDs.

• Template and device management improvements so device settings become read-only when managed by a template, which clarifies template as source of truth and there is immediate template remediation on configuration drift. Debug mode allows temporary override for local changes.

• Account and control enhancements for visibility of firmware update notifications for sub-accounts and enhanced compliance tracking and device state visibility.

DAL OS firmware

DAL OS LTS 26.2.147.125 firmware introduces major platform enhancements across device firmware, cellular performance, security, and Digi Remote Manager. This release emphasizes performance optimization, improved manageability, and enterprise-grade security, while aligning firmware and cloud management as a unified system.

Key firmware enhancements

• Performance and system optimization. We have reduced CPU and system resource usage for background cellular statistics collection, significantly faster firmware and file transfers via Digi Remote Manager (optimized EDP block sizes), and Web UI performance improvements with up to 10x faster load times and improved responsiveness for complex configurations.

• New DAL OS Web UI console experience.The DAL OS Web UI console interface has been updated with a new left-hand navigation layout and new menu options to align with the layout in Digi Remote Manager, with significantly faster page load times for device configuration. For more information, see the About the DALOS Web UI console topic in your DAL OS product-specific user guide.

• Cellular and connectivity improvements. There is a new remote command to trigger SIM switching via Digi Remote Manager / API.

• Simplified APN handling. There is a new Digi-curated APN list (more reliable) and the ability to configure APNs per carrier/PLMN, while optimizing APN priority (e.g., Verizon vzwinternet, AT&T broadband).

• Enhanced APN management. Simplified APN handling, which now uses a Digi-curated APN list (more reliable), ability to configure APNs per carrier/PLMN, while optimizing APN priority (e.g., Verizon vzwinternet, AT&T broadband).

  • A new Digi-controlled built-in APN list parameter has been added to the APN selection setting. Choosing this setting provides more reliable connectivity through a Digi-curated APN database, optimized carrier priority handling (including Verizon vzwinternet and AT&T broadband), and support for carrier-/PLMN-specific APN configuration. This is the default parameter for the APN selection setting.

  • A new Match SIM provider setting has been added for custom APNs: Custom APNs can now be associated with a specific carrier or SIM provider (PLMN), enabling the router to automatically use the correct APN for each carrier. This improves connection reliability, reduces connection time, and streamlines deployments that use multiple SIMs or carriers.

    For information and to configure cellular APNs, see the Cellular modem APNs topic in your DAL OS product-specific user guide.

• Networking and VPN enhancements. New VPN connection type visibility in DigiRM (IPsec/GRE) with GRE over IPsec support improvements, the ability to assign friendly labels to IPsec peers. The device now notifies Digi Remote Manager of local configuration changes, enabling immediate template compliance checks and faster remediation workflows.

• Platform and feature enhancements. Support for Connect EZ 4 TS/WS platforms, OTA firmware updates for XBee (Wi-SUN) devices via Digi Remote Manager, WAN bonding custom settings persist across reboots, and container enhancements now offer custom startup configurations and directory mounting / symlink support.

• .Security enhancements New SHA-2 and AES parameters added in support of SNMP, upgraded LTS stack to Linux kernel 6.18.x, OpenSSL 3.6.x, as well as other core packages.

• New certification. DAL OS is now FIPS 140-3 certified! This latest standard enforces approved cryptographic algorithms only and provides stronger compliance for regulated industries.

• .IX25 enhancements

  • New Thermal Monitor power profile, which dynamically reduces power usage under high temperature.

  • New Activation mode, which requires initial Digi Remote Manager connection for activation, enables lifecycle tracking (warranty, Digi 360 licensing), with this one-time activation persisting for the lifetime of the device.

• eSIM improvements. If your device has a built-in eSIM, you can map it to the SIM 2 interface. The setting to do this is called Active internal eSIM. If there is a physical SIM card in SIM slot 2, it is disabled. To configure, see the Configure cellular modem topic in your DAL OS product-specific user guide. For more information about the interfaces and their behavior, see SIM interfaces and built-in eSIM behavior.

• Serial data logging. Use the Enable Remote Logging feature to enable serial data logging to remote servers. This feature is available when configuring the following serial port modes: Login, RealPort, Remote Access, UDP serial, and Modem Emulator. For more information, see the Serial port topic in your DAL OS product-specific user guide.
