PROGRAMMING ESTEEM FEATURES

HARDWARE RING LINE (Factory Option)
When the ESTeem establishes a CONNECT or link with
another ESTeem (T/E Light on solid), pin 22 at the
ESTeem RS-232C will change from a -15 vdc voltage
state to a +15 vdc voltage state. The RING software
command allows the user to change the output from a
latched state to a pulsed state. To change the state of this
line program the following from the COMMAND mode.
Factory default = LATCH.
RING =Latch. Pin 22 is high when the ESTeem T/E
light is on solid.
RING =Pulse. Pin 22 is pulsed (positive 250 ms.) when
the ESTeem T/E light is on solid.
PACKET MONITOR
The PACKM [ON/OFF] command places the ESTeem in
a special packet monitor mode. When this feature is
enabled the ESTeem is placed in a receive only mode and
will not function as a normal ESTeem. The ESTeem will
monitor and report the status of all message traffic within
the network in the following format, the actual packet
message will not be outputted.
SA-xxx, DA-xxx, Type Code, R1-Repeater Status, R2-
Repeater Status, R3-Repeater Status, Data Bytes Sent
xxx = ESTeem Address
DA = Destination ESTeem
SA = Source ESTeem
R1 = Address of first ESTeem repeater.
R2 = Address of second ESTeem repeater.
R3 = Address of third ESTeem repeater.
Type Codes
I = Information
DISC = Disconnected
RR = Receive Ready
UA = Unnumbered Acknowledge
RNR = Receive Not Ready
FRMR = Frame Reject
REJ = Reject
DM = Disconnected Mode
UI = Unnumbered Information
SABM = Set Async. Balance Mode
Repeater Status
P=Pending
D=Done
USING THE INFRARED
COMMUNICATIONS PORT
The infrared (IR) communications port will allow you to
program and interrogate the ESTeem without
disconnecting the serial cable from the back of the
modem. The IR port is located on the front panel of the
ESTeem, above the T/E light.
To communicate from a computer to the ESTeem
through the IR port you will need a copy of the ESTeem
Utilities (Version 4.0 or higher) and an ESTeem IR
Communication Dongle (ESTeem P/N AA300).
Connect the dongle directly to the serial port of the
computer. The dongle requires initialization from the
ESTeem Utilities. From the Terminal Emulation screen
press the F3 function key to initialize the dongle. If the
modem is not in the COMMAND mode, press CTRL-C
to display the CMD: prompt.
Note: With Switch 2 (RS-232 Setup) in the On position
the ESTeem defaults the IR port to the command
mode.
