1 Verify your components

Included equipment

Note A loose label sticker that includes the unique device password is included in the box. Retain this label sticker with your hardware records.

This default password will be needed if the device is factory reset and you want to access the web UI on the device or register the device with Digi Remote Manager. If the device was already registered with Remote Manager at the time of the factory reset, you do not need the unique password to access the device in Remote Manager.

Required additional equipment

Required additional equipment (except for a personal computer) is available at www.digi.com.

Optional equipment

Depending on model, the box may contain additional components.

Verify that you have all included equipment. If any item is missing or damaged, contact your supplier. Required additional equipment (except for a personal computer) is available at www.digi.com.

2 Connect the hardware

1. Using a screwdriver, remove the SIM slot cover.

2. Insert the SIM card(s) into the SIM sockets. For SIM 1, the contacts must be face down. For SIM 2, the contacts must be face up. Insert the ends of the SIM cards with the chamfered corner first.

3. To meet environmental specifications, after installing the SIM cards, re-attach the TransPort WR44 R SIM cover.

4. Connect the cellular antenna to the WWAN PRIMARY connector on the unit. If the unit is equipped with a secondary cellular antenna connector, connect it to the WWAN SECONDARY connector.

5. Wi-Fi models only: Connect the Wi-Fi antennas to the WIFI PRIMARY and WIFI SECONDARY antenna connectors.

6. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to a LAN port on the device and the other end to a LAN port on a PC.

Note For certain variants of the WR44 R, the LAN0 port is

configured as a WAN interface. Therefore, you should connect the Ethernet cable to one of the LAN1 through LAN3 ports.

7. Connect the power supply. Depending on model, the unit comes with an AC power supply, a 4-pin DC power cord, or a fleet power cord. Instructions for all options follow. AC power supply: Connect the 4-pin connector of the power supply to the AUX connector on the unit, and plug the other end into a wall outlet. 4-Pin DC power cord: Connect the 4-pin connector of the cord to the AUX connector on the unit, and wire the four bare wires according to your needs. The red and black wires provide basic DC power input. The blue and green wires are programmable signal lines.

Warning Only use one of the power connectors. Never apply power to both the MAIN and AUX ports at the same time.

Fleet power cord: Connect the 4-pin connector to the MAIN port on the unit. Connect the locking barrel jack to the MAIN connector on the

unit. Wire the two bare wires according to your needs. For sample wiring diagrams and pinout information, see the 4-Pin DC Power Cord User

Guide and Digi TransPort Fleet Card User Guide, online at www.digi.com.

Tip Position the Digi TransPort WR44 R on a flat, level surface or via wall-mount or rackmount in a location with adequate ventilation. The unit is designed

for indoor use. Do not expose the unit to extreme heat or cold, strong magnetic fields, or liquids.

3 Run the Getting Started Wizard

If your PC is configured to automatically get an IP address, it can obtain the IP address from the TransPort WR44 R. Otherwise, make sure your PC can connect to the network 192.168.1.0 (255.255.255.0).

1. Enter 192.168.1.1 into the address bar of the web browser. The first page of the Getting Started Wizard appears.

2. Enter login credentials:

n User name: admin

n Password: The default password is printed on the device label.

n If a device that was manufactured prior to release 8.0.0.3 has been upgraded to the current release:

l If the device was upgraded using the Web UI Update Firmware, the router retains the existing default user accounts. For

example, after upgrading from release 7.1.2.2 to the current release, the default user account name remains username, and the default password is password.

After upgrading using the Web UI Update Firmware, if you then factory reset the device, the user name will be admin, and the default password will be default.

l If the device was upgraded using Flashwriter, the user name is admin, and the default password is default.

n If a device that was manufactured with release 8.x is downgraded to a release prior to 8.0.0.3:

l If the device was downgraded using the Web UI Update Firmware, the user name is admin, and the default password is default.

l If the device was downgraded using Flashwriter, the admin account is longer be present. Instead, the default account user name

is username, and the default password is password.

After downgrading with Flashwriter, if you then upgrade to 8.0.0.3 or greater using the Web UI Update Firmware, the router will retain the username/password account and not include an admin account. If you then factory default the router, the admin account with the preprogrammed unique password will return.

After downgrading with Flashwriter, if you then upgrade to 8.0.0.3 or greater using Flashwriter, the admin account with the preprogrammed unique password will again be present and the username/password account will be removed.

3. To run the wizard, click Get Started or click Skip Wizard to manually configure the device.

4. The Getting Started Wizard prompts you to enter your Digi Remote Manager username and password. If you do not already have a Digi Remote Manager account, go to https://remotemanager.digi.com to sign up for a free trial.
