Special notes on safety for wireless routers
Digi International products are designed to the highest standards of safety and international standards
compliance for the markets in which they are sold. However, cellular-based products contain radio devices
which require specic consideration. Please take the time to read and understand the following guidance. Digi
International assumes no liability for an end user’s failure to comply with these precautions.
Wireless routers incorporate a wireless radio module. Users should ensure that the
antenna(s) is (are) positioned at least 20 cms away from themselves and other persons
in normal operation.
When in a hospital or other health care facility, observe the restrictions on the use of
mobile phones. Do not use the unit in areas where guidelines posted in sensitive areas
instruct users to switch off mobile phones. Medical equipment may be sensitive to RF
energy.
The operation of cardiac pacemakers, other implanted medical equipment and hearing
aids can be affected by interference from cellular terminals such as the wireless routers
when places close to the device. If in doubt about potential danger, contact the physician
or the manufacturer of the device to verify that the equipment is properly shielded.
Pacemaker patients are advised to keep the wireless router away from the pacemaker
while it is on.
Wireless routers must NOT be operated on aircraft. The operation of wireless appliances
in an aircraft is forbidden to prevent interference with communications systems. Failure
to observe these instructions may lead to the suspension or denial of cellular services
to the offender, legal action, or both.
As with any electrical equipment, do not operate the unit in the presence of ammable
gases, fumes or potentially explosive atmospheres. Radio devices should not be used
anywhere that blasting operations are taking place.
Wireless routers receive and transmit radio frequency energy when power is on.
Interference can occur if used close to TV sets, radios, computers or inadequately
shielded equipment. Follow any special regulations and always power off your unit
wherever forbidden or when it may cause interference or danger.
SOS IMPORTANT! - Wireless routers operate using radio signals and cellular networks
cannot be guaranteed to connect in all possible conditions. Therefore, never rely solely
upon any wireless device for life critical communications.

Preface
This guide describes the installation procedure for the TransPort WR family of routers. It is intended to provide
sufcient information to be able to connect the unit to terminal equipment and power-on the unit. A complete
reference guide to the software features that are available on the product is available separately in PDF format
and can be downloaded from the Digi International web site (www.digi.com).
2 Introduction
The Digi TransPort WR family of cellular routers offers an all-in-one mobile communications solution with true
enterprise class routing, security and rewall. These multifunction cellular routers feature a exible design with
an optional integrated Wi-Fi access point (with multi SSID) / Client, USB, serial, and Ethernet, as well as a
variety of conguration options including multiple serial ports (async or sync), GPS or I/O telemetry modules.
The Digi TransPort family also offers an advanced routing, security and rewall feature set including stateful
inspection rewall and integrated VPN. Enterprise class protocols incorporate BGP, OSPF and VRRP+, a
patented technology built upon the popular VRRP failover standard providing true auto sensing, auto failure
and auto recovery of any line drop.
Digi TransPort WR routers are ideal for transportation and mobile applications. Flexible power options include
AC, DC and 4-pin Molex connectors for direct integration into vehicle applications. Also available is the Digi
Remote Manager™ which provides easy setup, conguration and maintenance of large installations of Digi
TransPort devices.

1. Primary Cellular (WWAN) Antenna Connector - This TNC female connector is used to connect the unit’s
primary cellular antenna.
2. Primary Wi-Fi (WLAN) Antenna Connector (Wi-Fi models only) - This TNC male connector is used to
connect the unit’s secondary Wi-Fi antenna.
3. GPS Antenna Connector (GPS models only) – This TNC males connector is used to connector the connect
the unit’s GPS antenna.
4. Secondary Cellular (WWAN) Antenna Connector - This TNC female connector is used to connect the
unit’s secondary cellular antenna. It is highly recommended to use the secondary antenna for diversity. In
most circumstances, dual antennas will provide improved signal strength thus better performance.
5. Secondary Wi-Fi (WLAN) Antenna Connector (Wi-Fi models only) - This TNC male connector is used to
connect the unit’s secondary Wi-Fi antenna.
6. 9-36VDC - This M12 socket is used to connect the unit to an alternative 9-36VDC power supply (not
supplied) using the supplied fused power cable. This cable also contains two programmable GPIO signal
lines.
7. SERIAL - This M12 port provides an asynchronous RS232 serial port which may be used to connect the
unit to a compatible serial device. This is a DCE serial port and allows CLI access to the device by default;
the baud rate is 115200.
8. LAN - These M12 ports are used to connect the unit to a 10/100 base-T LAN. These ports are auto-
sensing for speed and wiring (straight-through or cross-over).

Step 1) Install the SIM card(s): SIM card(s) should be inserted into the SIM sockets as illustrated in the Front
View image. For SIM 1, the contact should be face down. For SIM 2, the contacts should be face up. In Both
cases, the case of the SIM card with the chamfered corner should inserted rst.If the WR44RR is going to be
used in an environment with high vibration levels, it is possible that the SIM contacts will suffer fretting leading
to premature SIM failure. It is recommended that a very thin layer of dielectric grease is applied to the SIM
contacts before inserting it into the SIM socket.
