Digi TransPort® WR21 Installation Guide 3 Installation Mounting Tips The Digi TransPort WR21 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 18 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.
Digi TransPort® WR21 Installation Guide Step 2) Connect the Cellular (WWAN) Antenna(s): Connect the cellular antenna to the “WWAN PRIMARY” connector (SMA Female) on the unit. If the unit is equipped with a secondary cellular antenna connector (WWAN SECONDARY), it is highly recommended to connect an additional antenna to this connector for diversification. Dual antennas will provide improved signal strength thus better performance.
Digi TransPort® WR21 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.
Digi TransPort® WR21 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.
Digi TransPort® WR21 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.
Digi TransPort® WR21 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 4 page 10 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.
