Special Notes on GSM/3G Wireless Safety
Digi International products are designed to the highest standards of safety and
international standards compliance for the markets in which they are sold. However, GSM
based products contain radio devices which require specific 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 aerial is positioned at least 1 metre 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 router 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 placed 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, you should not operate your wireless
router in the presence of flammable 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 while
switched on. Remember that interference can occur if it is used close to
TV sets, radios, computers or inadequately shielded equipment. Follow
any special regulations and always switch off your wireless router
wherever forbidden or when you suspect that 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, you should never rely solely upon any wireless
device for life critical communications.

1 Introduction
The DR6400 series IP routers facilitate the transmission of data over DSL, ISDN, PSTN or
wireless GSM/3G networks.
The DR6400 provides an ADSL/2/2+/2++ interface along with a 4-port 10/100 Ethernet
switch. Optional features include GPRS/EDGE or 3G/HSDPA wireless capability and
ISDN BRI or PSTN network connectivity.
The wireless network types and data rates supported depend on the option purchased.
GPRS (General Packet Radio System) is an IP-based data transmission service that runs
over GSM wireless networks. It is an “always-on” protocol which means that once the
router has “attached” to the network, data can be transmitted and received on demand,
i.e. it is not necessary to make a call first.
EDGE is an enhanced version of GPRS which offers increased data transfer rates.
UMTS and HSDPA are the 3
rd
generation (3G) of GSM wireless networks, and as such
have much higher data transmission rates.
GPRS/EDGE routing is ideal for applications that are characterised by frequent
transmission of relatively small amounts of data, e.g. ATMs (cash-dispenser), remote
monitoring and data collection (telemetry) and credit/debt card authorisation.
UMTS/HSDPA routing is ideal for larger amounts of data or for situations where the speed
of data transfer is critical. Typical applications include backup for broadband wireline
services, video transmission, etc.
HSUPA routing is available as an optional upgrade on the DR6400. HSUPA is able to
provide a much greater amount of upstream bandwidth than HSDPA. In addition, the
downstream bandwidth is increased too. This makes HSUPA ideal for live broadcast
quality video transmissions.
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, DR series products
provide a combination of powerful but easy to use configuration, management and
diagnostic tools. This makes it a simple and cost-effective solution for migrating existing
terminal or telemetry equipment from older networks to DSL broadband.
1.1 Front Panel Features
The front panel of the unit incorporates a number of LED indicators depending on the
model, as shown in the following illustration (DR6410):

2 Installation
The DR6400 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 GSM network if there is a good signal.
For many applications the stub aerial 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 aerials.
Safety notice
A separation distance of at least 20cm should be maintained at all times between the
GSM/3G antenna (if used) and personnel using the unit.
Important Note
If you are going to be using the Sar/OS Connection Wizard to configure the unit’s Ethernet
port and also connect it to your GSM/3G network, skip this section and proceed to
Configuration.
Step 1 - Installing the SIM card(s) (wireless option)
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.
DR6400 Series Installation Guide
11
In both cases, the end of the SIM card with the chamfered corner should be inserted first.
For SIM 1 the contacts should be face down. For SIM 2 the contacts should be face up.
Step 2 – Fitting the wireless antenna (if applicable)
The router is supplied with a “stub” antenna suitable for use with the model you have
ordered. Alternatively you may have ordered a different type of antenna separately. In
either case this should be screwed onto the SMA aerial connector on the rear of the unit.
If the HSUPA option is purchased, 2 antennas will be supplied, both must be attached to
the router. These antennas must not be replaced with external antennas as the spacing
between the two antennas is critical.
Step 3 – Connecting the LAN cable
Plug one end of one of the supplied CAT5 cable into the RJ45 socket labelled LAN 0.
Plug the other end into the LAN socket on your PC or notebook.
Step 4 – Connecting the serial cable
For connection to a serial terminal device, the DR6410 and DR6420 use standard 25-way
“D” sockets. A suitable cable will be required to connect your terminal device(s) to these
ports. The DR6460 has 6 serial ports which are presented as RJ45 connectors. A range
of suitable cables and adapters are available from Digi International for connecting
terminal devices to these ports.
DR6400 Series Installation Guide
12
Step 5 – Connecting the ADSL cable
Plug one end of the supplied cable, or a suitable alternative, into the RJ12 socket labelled
ADSL. Plug the other en d i nto the ADSL line socket.
Step 6 – Connecting to the ISDN line (if applicable)
Plug one end the supplied CAT5 cable into the RJ45 socket labelled ISDN. Plug the other
end into the ISDN service outlet.
Step 7 – Connecting to the PSTN line (if applicable)
Plug one end of the supplied PSTN cable into the RJ45 socket labelled PSTN. Plug the
other end into the PSTN wall socket.
Step 8 – Connecting the power supply
Plug the jack plug on the mains adapter into the socket labelled 12V DC BEFORE
connecting the power adapter to the mains supply and applying power. When power is
first applied, the ON indicator will illuminate and the unit will initiate a series of diagnostic
self-tests. During this process one or more of the other indicators will flash to show that
the unit is busy. When the flashing stops, the unit is ready to use.
The unit is now ready to be configured.

3 Configuration
Once the unit has been installed and powered up, you must now configure it so that it can
communicate with your network and the Internet.
The easiest way to configure the unit is to use the Sar/OS Connection Wizard, available
from the Digi International website. The Sar/OS Connection Wizard will take you step-bystep through the process of configuring your router. Using the wizard means that you will
not have to change the IP address of your PC. Rather, you will be able to change the IP
address of the router to match the subnet your PC is already on.
Note: The default IP address for the LAN 0 port is 192.168.0.99, with a default Class C
subnet mask (255.255.255.0). Setting your PC’s IP address to one on the same subnet
(192.168.0.*) will enable you to connect to the unit’s Web interface. You will then be able
to configure the unit manually without using the Sar/OS Connection Wizard.
Further details of manual configuration can be found in the Digi International Sar/OS
Reference guide.
Step 1 – Install the Connection Wizard
Download the connection wizard from the Digi website and install the software on your
PC.
Step 2 – Run the Wizard
Once the wizard has been installed on your PC, run it from the Windows Start menu.
Step 3 – Decide which configuration method to use
Choose to either configure the unit’s Ethernet port only, or configure the unit’s Ethernet
port and at the same time connect it to your wireless network.
If you choose to configure the unit’s Ethernet port only, you must have completed all the
installation steps listed in the previous section.
Step 4 – Configure the unit
Follow the on-screen instructions to configure the unit according to the method you have
chosen. Once complete you will be able to browse to the unit and configure it using your
web browser.
