INTRODUCTION
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Thank you and congratulations on your purchase of the ESTeem Model 195C or
195M Wireless Radio Modem! This manual was written to help both the first
time and advanced user of the 195C/M to configure the wireless modem for your
application. If this is your first time configuring the 195C/M and you would like
to get going as soon as possible, we recommend using the ESTeem Resource CD
provided with the modem. The Resource CD will provide the software utilities
and guide you through the configuration of the wireless modem for your
application.

The ESTeem
195C/M wireless modems are programmed through their Ethernet
interface. To keep the manual usably short, many of the application descriptions and programming details assume the user has
a good working knowledge of the following network concepts:
Figure 1: ESTeem Model 195C/M Series
General
Ethernet networking and the configuration of LAN topologies
Common Ethernet terminology and acronyms
TCP/IP network protocol structure and how to configure TCP/IP networks
and subnets
Throughout this User’s Manual are
“Technical Tips” in boxes like this that
have been added to help answer the
most commonly asked questions.
How t
o identify and set the TCP/IP address on your computer
Have administrator privileges to the computer and network you are configuring
If using routing protocols, you must be able to identify and configure the network routers, gateways and firewalls
You must be familiar with using web browser software such as Internet Explorer, Chrome or Firefox
If you are unfamiliar with any of the above networking concepts, you may need to contact your network administrator for
assistance.
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.
SERIAL APPLICATIONS
A Model 195C/M can be configured for point-to-point, multipoint or PLC
emulations without any changes to the hardware. The following are brief
descriptions of the Serial Device Interface (SDI) configuration modes. For detailed
descriptions and suggested applications for each mode, please refer to Chapter 3.

Serial Applications
RS-232
– The ESTeem 195C and 195M have two (2) RS-232 data ports. One RS-232 port (Port 4) is available for use when the
ESTeem 195C/M is remote pole mounted (Figure 2), but only supports the basic three wire (Transmit, Receive and Ground)
