ESTEEM APPLICATION PROGRAMS
4-2
Listed below are different application programs to aid the
user in programming the ESTeem.
TRANSPARENT AUTO-CONNECT
This mode is used for a dedicated point to point
application. The ESTeem will initiate the radio link
when data is received by the RS-232/422 port.
Perform the following prior to programming the
ESTeem(s) to initialize the unit to factory default
settings:
1. Turn Bit 8 OFF on the RS-232C Setup Switch.
2. Reset the ESTeem.
3. TYPE FA <cr>. Please note the characters my not
be echoed by the crt.

ADD xxx ADD yyy
SETC yyy SETC xxx
TERMC ON TERMC ON
TERMT 1 TERMT 1
XSF OFF XSF OFF
XHF ON * XHF ON *
RTS_CTS ON * RTS_CTS ON *
DISACK ON* DISACK ON *
SETMODE ON SETMODE ON
SETTRANS ON:SAVE SETTRANS ON:SAVE
BIT 8 ON (RS-232 SWITCH) BIT 8 ON
RESET ESTEEM RESET ESTEEM
•
Turn DISACK ON only if you want to defeat the
acknowledge packet.
•
Hardware or software flow control can be used in
this mode. Select either XHF, XSF, or RTS_CTS for
your application. NOTE: If you are sending binary
files then do not use software flow control (XSF).
•
xxx and yyy represent an ESTeem address which is
user definable from 0 to 253.
TRANSPARENT AUTO-CONNECT
GLOBAL
This mode is usually used for a point to multi-point
applications when a customer’s device includes their own
addressing protocol to communicate between devices.
The ESTeem packet addressing and acknowledge
protocol is defeated. All ESTeems will receive the data
transmission. The 16 bit CRC error checking on
received data is still enabled. This program is used in all
ESTeems, the only difference is the unit addresses.
Perform the following prior to programming the
ESTeem(s) to initialize the unit to factory default
settings:
1. Turn Bit 8 OFF on the RS-232C Setup Switch
2. Reset the ESTeem.
3. TYPE FA <cr>. Please note the characters my not
be echoed by the crt.

Only hardware flow control can be used in this
mode. Select either XHF or RTS_CTS for your
application.
