INTRODUCTION

    This is a production release of firmware for Digi's ConnectPort X2
    Wi-Fi gateway.

    The ConnectPort X2 gateway provides support for communication to end
    nodes in a wireless PAN from a parent application running on an IP
    network.

    This firmware is targeted for applications that require communicating
    directly with the wireless PAN module in the ConnectPort X2 gateway via
    RealPort, Modbus, or UDP/TCP sockets.

    This firmware does not support the Python development environment. For
    applications that require Python, a separate firmware version is available.
    For more details, visit the Digi Support website for firmware version
    P/N 82001630. However, the Python environment is not available for the
    ConnectPort X2 Wi-Fi XTend or ConnectPort X2 Wi-Fi XStream platforms.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

    It is recommended that you perform a backup of your device's settings
    prior to upgrading your firmware.  If you should need to revert back to
    a previous version of firmware, this will ensure that you will be able
    to restore your device to its previous settings in the event that some
    settings are not restored properly after downgrading the firmware.

    To backup your device settings, follow this simple procedure:

      1) Open the web user interface and navigate to the "Administration"
         section and select "Backup/Restore".
      2) Click the "Backup" button and select the location to where you
         want to save your backup file.

    To restore:

      1) Navigate to the same section within the web UI.
      2) Click the "Browse" button to select the backup file you saved in
         the previous steps.
      3) Click the "Restore" button to upload the configuration settings
         contained in your backup file.

    On initial boot of this device, it will generate some encryption key
    material. This process can take as long as 40 minutes to complete.
    Until the corresponding key is generated, the device will be unable to
    initiate or accept that type of encrypted connection.  It will also
    report itself as 100% busy but, since key generation takes place at a
    low priority, the device will still function normally.  On subsequent
    reboots, the device will use its existing keys and will not need to
    generate another unless a reset to factory defaults is done, which will
    cause a new key to be generated on the next reboot.
