UTILITIES & FEATURES
ETHERSTATION STATUS PROGRAM
When configured for EtherStation mode, the Web Configuration Manger is turned off. To gather information from the 195C/M
on Access Point, link status and received signal strength you will need to install the ESTeem 195C/M Status Utility. The
EtherStation Status Utility version 2.0.0.0 or greater provides a new feature that will automatically program the connected ESTeem
195C/M to match up with the computer running the software. This software requires the ESTeem 195C/M to have software
version 302.8.102 or greater installed for this feature to function.
This software program is found on the AA109 Resources Disk or available from the ESTeem web site. To install the utility,
please complete the following:
Installation
The ESTeem Discovery Utility will allow you to configure the IP address on the Model 195C/M to match your network. Install
the Discovery Utility on your computer by inserting the Resource Disk in your CD drive.
Note: The ESTeem Resource Disk is a stand-alone copy of the ESTeem Web site (Figure 1). Navig
ation of the Resource Disk is
as simple as using your web browser. All technical documentation, User’s Manuals and the ESTeem Utility Program are
available on the disk.
1. Place the ESTeem Utility CD in your CD-ROM drive. The CD will auto load the ESTeem main page.

e click on the 195C/MStatusSetup.exe file listed in the window to install the program.
4. Connect the Model 195C/M to your computer either directly to the Ethernet card or through a Switch using a CAT-5e
Ethernet cable. The Ethernet port on the 195C/M supports Auto-Negotiation so either a patch cable or crossover cable will
work. Open the ESTeem Status Program. Status icons will appear in your system tray (Figure 8). When the status menu is
opened from the system tray, the status window will be
displayed (Figure 8) to show the Access Point MAC
address and signal strength. The tray icon and Signal
Strength bar will display the colors from Green, Yellow
to Red on progressively poorer signal or will show Grey
if roaming.
