Edge 900 User’s Manual Overview The ESTeem Edge 900 is a wireless modem (radio) operating in the unlicensed 900 MHz ISM band (902-928 MHz). The radio can be configured to provide both Ethernet and serial data transparent to the connected device. The configuration of the Edge 900 is very simple in that there are only two modes of configuration as either the Master Bridge or Slave Bridge.
Edge 900 User’s Manual 4. The ESTeem Edge 900 will be displayed (Figure 2). If the ESTeem Horizon is not on the same IP subnet as the computer, double click on the IP, Netmask or Gateway and make the necessary changes. Press the Apply Changes button when complete. 5. If changes were made to the IP address, you will need to press the Discover EST Modems button again to show the changes. Right-mouse click on the Horizon and select Configure Radio button to begin programming.
Edge 900 User’s Manual Step 2 – Network Layout The Edge 900 will operate in either a point to point or point to multipoint configuration. If there is only a single master and single slave (point to point mode) the Edge 900 can devote all wireless resources to the single remote location and increase the throughput. If programming a point to point network, select No or a multipoint network select Yes (Figure 5). Press the Next button to proceed.
Edge 900 User’s Manual Step 4 – Encryption and Network Identification The unique identification for an Edge 900 network is the AES-256 passphrase (Figure 7). A unique pass phrase must be entered to finish the configuration of the radio. The pass phrase must be between 4 and 64 character long and MUST be identical on all Edge 900 radios in the same network. Enter the network pass phrase and press the “Update Radio Config” button to program the radio for operation.
