USING THE RS-232 INTERFACE
Any terminal emulation program that can run with VT100 emulation can be used for this configuration of the ESTeem. Most
Windows users will probably use either Hyper Terminal or the Terminal Emulation in the ESTeem Utility program. Configure
your RS-232C port for a Baud Rate to 38,400, Data Bits to 8, Parity to None, Stop Bits to 1 and Handshaking to None and set
the Emulation type to VT100. Once your ESTeem has an IP address, you can attach the ESTeem to your network and use the
Web Server for further programming.
Installing Esteem Utility Program
The ESTeem Utility program version 2.7.0 and above can configure
the Terminal Emulation to VT100 for easy navigation of the
configuration menu. The ESTeem Utility Program is located on the
ESTeem Resource Disk (AA109) which is stand-alone copy of the
ESTeem Web site (Figure 5). Navigation of the Resource Disk is as
simple as using your web browser. All technical documentation,
User’s Manuals and the ESTeem Utility Program is available on the
disk. To install the ESTeem Utility Program use the following
instructions:
1. Place the ESTeem Utility CD in your CD-ROM drive. The CD
will auto load the ESTeem main page (Figure 9).
2. If the page does not auto load, open your web browser and set
your address line to D:\index.html (Where D: is the drive letter
for your CD-ROM drive).
3. From navigation menu on the left side of the page, select ESTeem
Utilities (Figure 1).
4. Select the Windows version of the ESTeem Utility and click Download Windows Utility for Model 192 Series. When asked
to Open or Save the file, press Open to view the contents of the Zip file.
5. Double Click on the Setup.exe file to start the Utility Installation or extract the files to a directory for later installation.
6. Once the installation is complete, Press the Start button on your Window desktop and select Programs. Select ESTeem Utility
from the list of program folders then click ESTeem Utility from the list of files and the program will start (Figure 2).
When prompted, configure your RS-232C port for a Baud Rate to 38,400, Data Bits to 8, Parity to None, Stop Bits to 1 and leave
the Flow Control boxes unchecked. You will now be ready to continue with the configuration of the Model 195Eg.
Programming Using the RS-232 Port
1. When configuring the Model 195Eg for the first time you must use the ESTeem RS-232C Configuration Menu to setup the
basic operating parameters such as assigning the IP Address, IP Net Mask, Gateway IP Address, Domain Name, and DNS IP
Address.
2. Connect the serial cable (EST P/N: AA0621.1) between the RS-232 connector (RJ-45) on the Model 195Eg to the serial port on
the computer.
3. Any terminal emulation program can be used for the configuration of the Model 195Eg. Most users will use the Terminal
Emulation section of the ESTeem Utility Program. Configure your RS-232C port for a Baud Rate to 38,400, Data Bits to 8,
Parity to None, Stop Bits to 1, use No Handshaking (Flow Control) and set the Terminal to VT100 emulation.
4. Plug the Model AA175 power supply into a wall socket and connect an Ethernet patch cable from the Model 195Eg Ethernet
port to the J1 (Data&PWR) port on the power supply (Figure 5). The Power over Ethernet (POE) LED on the front of the
ESTeem should be illuminated.
