CHAPTER 3
EXAMPLE APPLICATIONS
Mobile Client Modes (EtherStation, Station Router or Station Masquerade)
The ESTeem 195C/M can also be configured to function as a mobile client. The client modes allow the 195C/M to seamlessly
roam between fixed Access Points. The client modes will allow mobile Ethernet devices to connect to each other or to an
Ethernet LAN through the fixed AP (Figure 5).
The EtherStation mode is used to connect a single Ethernet device to the ESTeem 195C/M. If you are connecting the 195C/M
to multiple Ethernet devices in a mobile mode, the Station Router or Station Masquerade will be required. The Station Router
will allow bi-directional communication between the Ethernet devices connected to the 195C/M and the wireless network,
while the Station Masquerade will serve as a firewall on the Ethernet side.
Example Applications
• Mobile applications where the 195C/M will change links often between fixed Access Points
• Long range mobile client networks
• Public safety applications for police, fire and EMS
Applications Where Mobile Client Mode Not Used
• Fixed locations using Ethernet Bridging or Routing
• Wireless Ethernet networks with repeaters
• Mobile applications
