You use Transport mode when the MultiCom Firewall is the endpoint of an encrypted flow of data. This means that you cannot use this mode when you are trying to gain full access to a subnet hidden behind the MultiCom Firewall with IPSec enabled.

You will use Tunnel mode when configuring access through the MultiCom Firewall into a subnet behind it. In Tunnel mode, the data using the IPSec tunnel has full access to all Ethernet devices in the remote subnet.

WARNING - Be sure to have configured both endpoints of the encrypted connection to use the same mode.
