CHAPTER 2 APPLICATION PROGRAMMING SELECTING ETHERNET CONFIGURATION To begin setup of your wireless Ethernet network you must first select the type of Model 192E configuration required. The following are examples of networking requirements and the type of configuration required for each: Networking Requirements Link 802.
CHAPTER 2 APPLICATION PROGRAMMING Mbps) are listed, the ESTeem will scale through the baud rates as required by signal quality and strength (recommended). 5. Select Channel (3) to set the operating frequency of the ESTeem. Note: All ESTeems that communicate with each other MUST be set to the same channel number. the previous menu without making changes, press the X key followed by the Enter key (X
CHAPTER 2 APPLICATION PROGRAMMING network, all wireless cards (ESTeem Model WLANC11) communicate only with the Access Point that serves the Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) as a HUB. Multiple Access Points can be configured in the network to extend the coverage area of the wireless cards. The wireless cards will automatically change between Access Points (Roam) as long as they are all configured with the same SSID and Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) information.
CHAPTER 2 APPLICATION PROGRAMMING 128bit WEP encryption. If using 40bit WEP encryption, leave at “False”. 11. Load the WEP Key values in sections 4-12. Review all your changes on the screen are correct and select Return to previous menu (X) to return to the Access Point Configuration Menu. 12. If all configurations appear correct, press Load Values and Return to Main Menu (M). 13. Once at the Main Menu, press Save and Apply Changes (7) and Yes (Y) to reboot the ESTeeem.
CHAPTER 2 APPLICATION PROGRAMMING Ethernet Wired LAN 14. If all configurations appear correct, press Load Values and Return to Main Menu (M). 15. Once at the Main Menu, press Save and Apply Changes (7) and Yes to reboot the ESTeeem. Ethernet IP Address (Example) 192.168.1.1 192E - Master Bridge Wireless IP Address (Example) 192.168.2.1 Client Bridge To configure the ESTeem Model 192E as a Client Bridge, please use the following: Wireless IP Address (Example) 192.168.2.0 1.
CHAPTER 2 APPLICATION PROGRAMMING Ethernet Wired LAN 9. Select Current Master IP Address (6) to input the Wireless IP address of the Master Bridge. Note: The Master IP address must match the Wireless IP address of the Master Bridge for the bridging mode to function correctly. 10. If the bridge network is going to be using WEP security codes, press Encryption Settings (7) to enter the Privacy Menu (Figure 5) otherwise leave the setting at “False” and skip to Step 15.
CHAPTER 3 INTERFACING SERIAL INTERFACE CONFIGURATION RS-232 PORT PINOUT TABLE ETHERNET INTERFACE
CHAPTER 3 INTERFACING SERIAL INTERFACE CONFIGURATION ETHERNET INTERFACE The ESTeem Model 192E has a standard RS-232C, 9-pin Female connector for interfacing directly with the serial port on the computer. Use ESTeem part number AA062 to interface the Model 192E with a 9-pin serial port on a computer. The ESTeem Model 192E’s Ethernet Port is configured to directly interface with an Ethernet HUB using a straight through 10BaseT cable.

CHAPTER 4 ANTENNAS ANTENNA AND CABLE CONFIGURATIONS COAXIAL CABLES The 25’ length of RG-8 coax cable and the 50’ length of Heliax cable are the minimum cable lengths allowed for use the above antennas. Listed below are representative cable losses in db/100 ft at the 2.4 GHz frequency range: Warning: Only the tested cable lengths and antennas provided by EST meet the FCC maximum peak output power requirements. Any other combination of antennas or coax cables is not authorized.
CHAPTER 4 ANTENNAS GROUNDING LIGHTNING ARRESTORS All building mount antennas require attachment to a good earth ground for optimum efficiency. Contact a reputable local communications shop for procedures for your area. Lightning arrestors should be used on all external building mount antennas for personal protection and to minimize damage to the transceiver during lightning storms. The units should be installed as per manufacturers instructions provided with the device.
