TransPort® WR41 Installation Guide 3 Installation Mounting Tips The TransPort WR41 should be positioned on a flat, level surface or via a wall-mount, rackmount, or DIN rail mounting brackets (see the Accessories section on page 21 for all options). The unit is designed for indoor use and should be mounted in a location with adequate ventilation. Also, do not expose the unit to extremes of heat or cold, strong magnetic fields, or liquids.
TransPort® WR41 Installation Guide The TransPort WR41 also allows for dual network installations where one wireless service can be used as a back-up in the event that the primary service fails. These installations cannot be used to access two networks simultaneously. By default, SIM 1 is used for access to the primary network and SIM 2 is used for the back-up network.
TransPort® WR41 Installation Guide 4 Configuration Once the unit has been installed and powered up, it needs to be configured to communicate with the LAN and WAN. Configuration is performed either using the Command Line Interface (CLI) or the Web Interface. The Web Interface (accessed via a web browser e.g. Firefox, IE, Chrome) is the recommended configuration option for most users.
TransPort® WR41 Installation Guide The Quick Start Wizard is located in the Getting Started section on the Home menu. 4.2.1 Cellular: CDMA If your unit is to be used on a CDMA network, the embedded module must be provisioned on the network before it can make a connection.
TransPort® WR41 Installation Guide 4.2.1.1 CDMA Provisioning CDMA provisioning is different from GSM since CDMA (in most cases) does not use a SIM card. The CDMA modem provisioning process creates a CDMA data connection to the mobile carrier network. This authenticates the modem and retrieves account information which is written to flash memory on the modem module itself, not the Digi’s configuration file.
TransPort® WR41 Installation Guide 4.3 Command Line Interface (CLI) In order to configure the unit serially, ensure that the unit is connected to a PC (as outlined in Step 5 on page page 13 of the Installation section). Also, terminal emulation software (such as HyperTerminal) will be required. 4.3.1 CLI Notes • To view the current configuration settings, enter the command CONFIG C SHOW. • To save changes made to the unit, enter the command CONFIG 0 SAVE.
