- MODEL 195C/M OVERVIEW
- The ESTeem Model 195C and 195M are wireless modem transceivers that can be used to build many types of Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN). The ESTeem 195C/M series have multiple serial (RS-232, RS-422 and RS-485), Ethernet and 4/20mA sensor interfaces. The Model 195C and 195M can be configured for multiple modes of operation depending upon the needs of the wireless and wired network. The following interface configurations are provided as an overview of the basic network types, as all possible network configurations can not be listed. For further help in selecting the correct network type, please refer to Chapter 3 of this User’s Manual or call Customer Support at 509-735-9092.

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
Mo
bile applications
