Safety Notices

1. Please read all instructions before installing and powering the unit. You should keep these instructions in
a safe place for future reference.

2. If the power supply shows signs of damage or malfunction, stop using it immediately, turn off the power
and disconnect the power supply before contacting your supplier for a repair or replacement.

3. Changes or modications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the
user’s authority to operate the equipment. Use only the accessories, attachments, and power supplies

provided by the manufacturer – connecting non-approved antennas or power supplies may damage the

unit, cause interference or create an electric shock hazard, and will void the warranty.

4. Do not attempt to repair the product. The unit contains no electronic components that can be serviced or
replaced by the user. Any attempt to service or repair the unit by the user will void the product warranty.

5. Products in the TransPort DR® family are designed for indoor use and should be used in an environment
that is suitable for computers and other electronic equipment.

6. Ports that are capable of connecting to other apparatus are dened as SELV ports. To ensure conformity
with IEC60950 ensure that these ports are only connected to ports of the same type on other apparatus.

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 specic 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 1 meter 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 DR family of routers. It is intended to provide
sufcient 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

Digi TransPort DR cellular routers provide secure high speed wireless connectivity to remote sites and devices

for primary or backup wireless broadband network connectivity. These multifunction cellular routers feature a
exible design with a variety of conguration options, including multiple serial ports (async or sync) or Wi-Fi
modules, in addition to standard features like USB, serial and Ethernet.

Digi TransPort DR offers true advanced routing, rewall and security features including stateful rewall
inspection and 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.

Most notably, the Digi TransPort DR features a built-in DSL modem for primary connectivity to remote sites,

with failover to cellular or optional ISDN or PSTN. Integrated 802.11b/g Wi-Fi is also available. The router can
be paired with the Digi TransPort VC7400 enterprise VPN concentrator for secure end-to-end connectivity for
large numbers of remote devices and networks.
