2 Installation

Note: You will not be able to use the router for remote communication until you have
subscribed to a suitable wireless network service.
Transport WR family products are designed for indoor use (office or home). They should
be positioned on a smooth, level surface making sure that there is adequate ventilation.
Do not expose them to extremes of heat or cold, strong magnetic fields or liquids.
It is important to remember that these products are wireless devices just like a mobile
phone, so they will only operate reliably if there is a good quality signal from the network.
For many applications the stub antenna provided will be suitable but in some
circumstances it may be necessary to use a window-mounted or magnetically mounted
antenna with an extended cable to allow the antenna itself to be positioned to provide the
best possible signal reception. Digi International can supply a range of suitable antennas.
Step 1 - Installing the SIM card (GSM models only)
The router incorporates two separate SIM card holders so that if your application demands
it, you may install SIMs for two different networks. This means that one wireless service
may be used as a back-up service in the event that the primary service fails in some way.
By default, SIM 1 is the default SIM used for access to the primary network and SIM 2 is
used for the back-up network.
Notes:
1. SIM 1 and SIM 2 can NOT be used to access two networks simultaneously.
The SIM card(s) should be inserted into SIM cardholders on the right of the front panel as
illustrated below.
