The ESTeem Model 192E can be used in a variety of
network system configurations. The ESTeem can stand-

network.
The Model 192E can also be configured as a repeater in
the network to increase the range of the wireless
infrastructure. The maximum communications range is
based upon how you configure your wireless network.
This section of the manual will describe the possible
configurations of the wireless network.
Access Point Configuration
In this network one of the ESTeem Model 192E modems
is configured as the “Access Point”. This Access Point is
