EXAMPLE APPLICATIONS
Mobile Client Mode Example (Figure 5)
EtherStation, Station Router and Station Masquerade Modes
(3) ESTeem Model 210
Serial Numbers:
E-14000 (EtherStation)
E-14001 (Station Router)
E-14002 (Station Masquerade)
Setting the ESTeem for Mobile Client (station) mode with the ENC Utility is different than the
B
r
idge/Router or Access Point (AP) modes. ESTeem modems configured in as a Mobile Client
will not link with a specific fixed modem; but will roam between any 802.11 Access Point with the
correct Network Name (SSID) and Encryption. The ESTeem configured as a client is also not set
on a specific operating frequency (channel) but will scan all channels looking for the AP. Use the
following procedure to configure an ESTeem 210 in one of the three mobile client modes:
1. Starting a new network of ESTeem 210s in Mobile
C
lient mode is the same as any of the Bridge modes
except when you are asked for the frequency (channel)
of operation, select “Station” (Figure 23).
2. Add the three mobile client modems to the ENC Utility
confi
gurat
ion page as instructed above and set the
Modem ID to match the three modes of operation.
Your configuration will appear as in Figure 24.
EtherStation
3. By
default, the ENC Utility sets all station mode ESTeem modems
t
o EtherStation mode. The only adjustment necessary to the
EtherStation modem in our example is to enter the connected
Ethernet device’s MAC address. The ESTeem 210 will “clone”
the Ethernet MAC address of the connected Ethernet device. To
configure the EtherStation modem, double-click on the icon to
bring up the ESTeem Summary window and press the Edit button
(Figure 20).
4. EtherStation mode should be selected in the Mode of Operation.
Press
t
he Next button at the bottom of the window to continue.
Enter the connected Ethernet device’s MAC address in the
“Device MAC Address” box (Figure 25) and press the Next button
at the bottom of the window to continue.
5. Verify the encryption settings are correct for the 802.11 AP
netwo
rk in which the EtherStation modem will be working and
press the Finish button to return to the configuration page.

Technical Tip: The ESTeem 210’s in Mobile
Client modes do not have a specific frequency
of operation as can be seen in Figure 24.
