Transport WR Series Installation Guide

1 Introduction
Transport WR series routers are compact IP routers that facilitate the transmission of data
over
different types of “cellular” networks depending on the model.
The routers can be configured either by using commands entered at the serial port (much
like a modem), or via the built-in Web interface. We recommend that you use the Web
interface whenever possible.
In addition to many standard LAN and Internet protocols such as PPP, the Transport WR
series products provide a combination of powerful but easy to use configuration,
management and diagnostic tools. This makes them simple and cost-effective solutions for
migrating existing terminal or telemetry equipment, which use wired networks (PSTN,
ISDN, etc.), to wireless operation.
