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, 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 antenna(s) is (are) 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.

WR41 Series Installation Guide

1 Introduction

WR41 series routers are compact IP routers that facilitate the transmission of data over

different types of “cellular” networks depending on the model.

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, the WR41 series

products provide a combination of powerful but easy to use configuration, management

and diagnostic tools. This makes them simple and cost-effective solutions for migrating

existing terminal or telemetry equipment, which use wired networks (PSTN, ISDN, etc.), to

wireless operation.

1.1 Front Panel Features

The front panel of the unit incorporates the USB host connector, 10 LED indicators and

the two SIM / R-UIM card-holders as shown in the following illustration of the WR41-U:

USB Host Connector

The USB host connector may be used to connect compatible USB 2.0 client devices such

as memory sticks, serial adapters, etc. Note that the total current available to power USB

devices is 0.5A.

WLAN Antenna Connector

This male SMA connector is used to fit the wireless LAN antenna (Models with WLAN

option fitted only)

WR41 Series Installation Guide

Status Indicators

The status indicators operate as follows:

Illuminates steady when power is applied.

LAN

Illuminates steady when there is a network connection to the LAN port

and flashes when data is transmitted or received.

The indicator labelled WN (Wireless Network) has two functions

If the WLAN option is fitted, it indicates WLAN activity.

If the WLAN option is not fitted, it flashes to show which network mode

the router is operating in as follows:

Off –no service

1 blink –GPRS mode

2 blinks –EDGE mode

3 blinks –UMTS mode

4 blinks –HSDPA mode

5 blinks –HSUPA mode

On steady –CDMA mode

NET

Illuminates steady when a wireless data connection has been

established.

SIM

Illuminates steady when a valid SIM card is installed in the unit.

DAT

Flashes to indicate that data is being transferred over the wireless

network.

SIGNAL

For the WR41-G, -E and -U models, the three indicators labelled SIGNAL

illuminate to indicate the GSM signal strength as follows:

None illuminated < -113 dBm (effectively no signal)

1 LED illuminated >= -112 dBm and <= -87 dBm (weak)

2 LED‟s illuminated >= -86 dBm and <= -71 dBm (medium)

3 LED‟s illuminated >= -70 dBm and <= -51 dBm (strong)

For the WR41-C the signal strengths are as follows:

None illuminated < -116 dBm (effectively no signal)

1 LED illuminated >= -115 dBm and <= -104 dBm (weak)

2 LED‟s illuminated >= -103 dBm and <= -94 dBm (medium)

3 LED‟s illuminated >= -93 dBm and <= -83 dBm (strong)

DTE

Illuminates steady if a terminal is connected to the ASY0 serial port and

the DTR signal is on. Flashes when data is transmitted or received.

WR41 Series Installation Guide

SIM / R-UIM Sockets

On the WR41-G, -E and -U, the two sockets at the right side of the front panel labelled

SIM 1 and SIM 2 are for use with the Subscriber Identification Module(s) (SIMs) that you

will receive from your service provider(s).

On the WR41-C, the same sockets are present but are labelled R-UIM (Removable User

Identification Module) because this is a more commonly used term in the CDMA network

arena.

SIMs and R-UIMs are essentially the same in function and for the remainder of this guide

are referred to simply as SIMs or SIM cards.

Details of how to insert SIM cards correctly are given in section 2 below.

WR41 Series Installation Guide

1.2 Rear Panel Features

The rear panel of the unit incorporates a number of connectors as described as shown

below (model shown with no options fitted):

9-48V DC

This socket is used to connect the unit to the power supply using

the 12V DC mains adapter.

Alternatively this socket can be used to connect the unit to an

alternative 9-48V DC power supply (not supplied) using a DC

power cable which can be purchased separately.

ASY 0

This RJ45 socket provides an asynchronous RS232 serial port

which may be used to connect the router to a compatible serial

device. The unit is supplied with a suitable 2 metre serial cable.

To comply with EMC requirements it should not be used with a

longer cable.

ANT. (MAIN)

This SMA connector is used to fit the wireless antenna. The

WR41-G and -E models are supplied with a single stub antenna

which should be fitted to this connector.

The WR41-U and -C models both support “diversity” antenna

capability to improve performance and are supplied with two stub

antennas. One of these should be fitted to this connector and the

other to the ANT. (AUX) connector.

Note: Small stub antennas are provided as standard but a range

of suitable alternatives for use in different applications may be

purchased separately.

ANT. (AUX.)

This SMA connector is used on the WR41-U and -C models to fit

the second antenna supplied with the unit. On models that do not

support diversity antennas this connector will not be present.

LAN

The socket labelled LAN is used to connect the unit to a

10/100Base-T LAN using the 2-metre STP (Shielded Twisted

Pair) cable supplied or a suitable alternative. This port is auto-

sensing for speed and wiring (straight-through or cross-over). To

comply with EMC requirements it should not be used with non-

STP cable.

WR41 Series Installation Guide

Reset button

This is located on the underside of the unit near the front (just behind the DTE LED), and

can be accessed through a 2.5mm hole using pencil tip or similar implement. Holding the

reset button down gently for 5 seconds when the unit is powered up and operational (i.e.

has finished booting), will cause the factory settings to be loaded into flash before and

then re-boot. During this time you will see a pattern of alternating LEDs flashing followed

by the normal boot sequence. Do not remove power from the unit during this operation, as

corruption of the flash memory may occur.

1.3 Optional features.

WR41 series routers are available with a variety of hardware options. At present these

are:

1 x ASY

Provides an additional asynchronous serial port using a 25-way D

connector

3 x ASY

Provides three additional asynchronous serial ports using RJ45

connectors.

1 x SYN

Provides an X.21/RS422/RS232 synchronous serial port using a

25-way D connector.

1 x GPS

Provides GPS geo-location capability.

1 x ISDN BRI

Provides an ISDN Basic Rate Interface (BRI) via an RJ45 socket.

This can be configured either as a TE (terminal endpoint) or as

NT-1 (network termination). The option also includes an additional

asynchronous serial port via a second RJ45 socket.

Telemetry 1

Card

General Digital I/O card.

Only one of the above options can be fitted and will occupy the area of the rear panel

normally covered with the blanking plate. For example, if the GPS option is fitted, the rear

panel will appear as shown below:
