STARTING OUT
Revised: 2 Oct 01 1-2
OVERVIEW
The ESTeem Model 192E is a wireless LAN transceiver
that can be configured as the center point of a stand-
alone wireless network, connection point between
wireless and wired network (Access Point) or a bridge
between Ethernet segments. Each configuration is
explained in detail in Chapter 2 of this manual. This
section of the User’s Manual will complete the basic
configuration of the system and allow further
programming through the ESTeem Configuration Menu.
The ESTeem Model 192E uses a menu-driven
management system for configuration and diagnostics.
This management system can be accessed through a
Telnet network connection or through any terminal
emulation program. To link through the network
connection, some of the basic operating parameters such
as assigning the ESTeem an IP address and Subnet mask
must be completed by accessing the configuration menu
through the serial port. Any terminal emulation program
can be used for this configuration of the ESTeem and
will be configured similarly, but this section of the
manual will describe basic configuration of the ESTeem
Model 192E using the Terminal Emulation program
contained on the ESTeem Utility Program CD-ROM.
