Testing Communication Link
After you have configured at least two of the Model 195Eg wireless Ethernet modems for operation, you can verify
communication with each the following steps:
Status Light – The quickest source of link status is to view
the Status Light on the face of the 195Eg. If the Status light
is solid, the Model 195Eg has a connection to another Model
195Eg listed in the Peer Table.
Status Screen/Peer Table – To view further information on
the status of the communication link (such as connection
speed, signal strength and last update time) you can open the
Status Screen from the Web Interface. After press the Status
tab at the top of the screen the Status: Summary will be
displayed showing the status of all ports and memory in the
195Eg. Under the Wireless Status heading click on the View Peer Table
(Figure 5). The Peer Table will list all other 802.11b or
802.11g wireless activity seen by the 195Eg and how it is classified.
Find the opposite 195Eg in the Repeater Peers list and information such as signal strength (in dBm) and time/speed of last data
packet will be displayed.
Note: The data rate displayed is not necessarily indicative of the RF data rate between the ESTeems. The rate show in the
Repeater Peer table will be the last RF packet, which could consist of either data, repeater beacon or network probes. For a
detailed analysis on the data rate, please consult the ESTeem User’s manual.
