2 Installation
The Transport DR series products are designed for indoor use (office or home). The
router should be positioned on a smooth, level surface making sure that there is adequate
ventilation. Do not expose the router 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 over the W-WAN network if there is a good signal.
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
aerial with an extended cable to allow the aerial itself to be positioned to provide the best
possible signal reception. Digi International can supply a range of suitable antennas.
Safety notice
A separation distance of at least 20cm should be maintained at all times between the W-
WAN antenna (if used) and personnel using the unit.
Step 1 - Installing the SIM card(s) (GSM models only)
The router incorporates two separate SIM card holders so that if your application
demands it, you may install SIM cards 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.
Note:
SIM 1 and SIM 2 cannot 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.
