CHAPTER 3 PROGRAMMING ESTEEM FEATURES Listed in this chapter are the major ESTeem features and programming examples on how to use them. These features are individual building blocks to solve your application needs. Remember your particular application my require one or more of these features enabled. Example: SETC r1,r2,r3,da GLOBAL BROADCAST Global broadcast is the ability of one ESTeem to transmit it's message to more than one ESTeem at once.
CHAPTER 3 PROGRAMMING ESTEEM FEATURES variable. The Auto Transmit feature is a timer that is enabled in the ESTeem that monitors traffic in and out of the RS-232C port. If there are characters in the RS-232C buffer, the termination control timer starts from the time the last receive or transmitted character is updated in the buffer. If the termination time expires before another character is received or transmitted, the received characters are transmitted.
CHAPTER 3 PROGRAMMING ESTEEM FEATURES Factory default for RECONN = Off, RECONR = 10, and RECONT = 1. The ESTeem RETRY variable determines the number of times that you will go through the ALTERNATE ROUTE table before a "LINK IS DOWN" message will appear. ALTERNATE ROUTING CALL WAITING The Alternate Routing feature allows the user to define up to four communication routes for the ESTeem.
CHAPTER 3 PROGRAMMING ESTEEM FEATURES many remotes are sending data to a common point. The standard CONNECT (transmission plus ACK) and DISCONNECT (transmission plus ACK) are eliminated. This feature will also allow REPORT BY EXCEPTION (a remote can communicate with a central point even though it is not being polled or addressed by the central point). This replaces using the CONNECT command from the COMMAND Mode. The brackets [ and ] are defined using the MULTDELI command.
CHAPTER 3 PROGRAMMING ESTEEM FEATURES automatically disconnect you from remote programming if there is no activity for thirty seconds. latched state to a pulsed state. To change the state of this line program the following from the COMMAND mode. Factory default = LATCH. The REMPROG (on/off) feature is used to defeat the ability of your ESTeem from being remotely programmed. If REMPROG = OFF, another ESTeem cannot remotely program your unit. Factory default = ON. RING =Latch.
CHAPTER 3 PROGRAMMING ESTEEM FEATURES Perform the following prior to programming the ESTeem(s) to initialize the units to factory default settings: RADIO SELF TEST The Radio Self Test feature is used to test the radio conductivity of a given geographical area without the use of external hardware attached to the ESTeem (i.e. terminal, computer, etc.) by performing a GO or NO GO test by visually looking at the ESTeem T/E light.

CHAPTER 6 ANTENNAS EST offers different types of antennas ranging from 1/4 wave to 5/8 wave in physical size. The user choice is dependent on the application. Notes: 1. Communications in the VHF and UHF bands are normally over "Line of Sight (LOS)". Looking from the antenna of one wireless modem you must be able to see the antenna of the wireless modem you wish to communicate with. If a large object obstructs the line of sight view it is unlikely that satisfactory communications will result.
CHAPTER 6 ANTENNAS GROUNDING All building mount antennas require attachment to a good earth ground for optimum efficiency. Contact a reputable local communications shop for procedures in your area. LIGHTNING ARRESTORS Lightning arrestors should be used on all external building mount antennas for personal protection and to minimize damage to the transceiver during lightning storms. The units should be installed as per manufacturers instructions provided with the device.

CHAPTER 7 THEORY OF OPERATION INTRODUCTION ESTEEM HOW IT WORKS SPECTRUM UTILIZATION PACKET PROTOCOLS FLOW CONTROL DATA PRIVACY EFFECTIVE BAUD RATE
CHAPTER 7 THEORY OF OPERATION INTRODUCTION ESTEEM HOW IT WORKS ESTeem wireless modem products provide a "Wireless Solution" by eliminating conventional hardwiring of leased phone lines. Now, as you can probably guess, the ESTeem is a sophisticated piece of technology, however the concept is easy to comprehend if you understand packet radio.
CHAPTER 7 THEORY OF OPERATION It's safe to assume that the data you receive is good data or you get nothing at all using the CRC technique. If no ACK is returned after a given delay, the sender assumes the packet was not received and "retries" the transmission. The number of retries are user definable from 1 to 255, allowing the unit to automatically retry sending the packet.
