USING THE RS-232 INTERFACE
Any terminal emulation program that can run with VT100 emulation can be used for this configuration of the ESTeem. Most
Windows users will probably use either Hyper Terminal or the Terminal Emulation in the ESTeem Utility program. Configure
your RS-232C port for a Baud Rate to 38,400, Data Bits to 8, Parity to None, Stop Bits to 1 and Handshaking to None and set
the Emulation type to VT100. Once your ESTeem has an IP address, you can attach the ESTeem to your network and use the
Web Server for further programming.
Programming Using the RS-232 Port
1. When configuring the Model 195Eg for the first time you can use the ESTeem RS-232C Configuration Menu to setup the basic
operating parameters such as assigning the IP Address, IP Net Mask, and Gateway IP Address.
2. Connect the serial cable (EST P/N: AA0621.1) between the RS-232 connector (RJ-45) on the Model 195Eg’s programming
port to the serial port on the computer.
3. Any terminal emulation program can be used for the configuration of the Model 195Eg. Most users will use either the
Terminal Emulation section of the ESTeem Utility Program or Hyper Terminal in Windows. Configure your RS-232C port for
a Baud Rate to 38,400, Data Bits to 8, Parity to None, Stop Bits to 1, use No Handshaking (Flow Control) and set the
Terminal to VT100 emulation.
4. Plug the Model AA175 power supply into a wall socket and connect an Ethernet patch cable from the Model 195Eg Ethernet
port to the J1 (Data&PWR) port on the power supply (Figure 4). The Power over Ethernet (POE) LED on the front of the
ESTeem should be illuminated.
5. If your computer is configured properly, you will see the ESTeem Model 195Eg booting sequence on your Terminal Emulation
program. Once the ESTeem boot sequence is complete (approximately 45 seconds) you will receive this message:
“Please press Enter to active this console.”
If you don’t see this message press the Reset button on the front panel of the Model 195Eg and/or check the programming of
your RS-232 port.
6. Press the Enter key and you will be at the Configuration Menu 195Eg login prompt. See Figure 9.
7. To enter the Model 195Eg Main Menu you will need to log into the system with a login name and password.
