CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION BEFORE YOU BEGIN Thank you and congratulations on your purchase of the ESTeem Model 195Ed Wireless Ethernet Radio Modem! This manual was written to help both the first time and advanced user of the 195Ed configure the radio modem for your application. If this your first time configuring the 195Ed and you would like to get going as soon as possible, we recommend using the 195Ed Quick Start Guide provided with the modem.
CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION MODEL 195Ed CONFIGURATION MODES The Model 195Ed can be configured for multiple modes of operation without any changes to the hardware: Access Point Modes 1. Access Point Bridge Mode. When the Model 195Ed is configured as an Access Point it will provide a wireless bridge from a hardwired Local Area Network (LAN) to other Model 195Ed modems in client modes.
CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION (DSL, T1, etc.) and you want the wireless clients to access the information through the Model 195Ed (Figure 3). This mode should also be used for attaching the Model 195Ed to a network where few IP addresses are available or a firewall for the wireless clients is required. 4. Access Point Repeater. The Access Point Repeater can be used with any of the above Access Point modes.
CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION required. This mode would be used where multiple Ethernet devices will be connected to a single Model 195Ed in a mobile client application and the connected Ethernet devices will need to be accessible from the Access Point’s LAN network. 8. Station Masquerade Mode.

CHAPTER 3 STARTING OUT OVERVIEW Most configuration of the ESTeem Model 195Ed is completed using the internal Web interface (discussed in detail in Chapter 4), but to access the modem through a web browser requires first setting the TCP/IP address. The TCP/IP address (IP address) is set at the factory for a static Class B (172.16.xxx.xxx - Mask 255.255.0.0) and listed on the ESTeem documentation.
CHAPTER 3 STARTING OUT (Optional) Second RS-232 Ethernet Reset Switch Data Port Port Status LED Receive LED Transmit LED RS-232 Configuration RJ-45 10/100BaseT Ethernet Port Aux Power LED 12 VDC Input (Auxiliary Connector ) Figure 1: 195Ed Front Panel Overview Power over Ethernet LED Notes: • There is no Power On/Off switch on the Model 195Ed. • Attach the programming Cable to the RS-232 Programming Port and the Patch Cable between the Power Supply and Ethernet port.
CHAPTER 3 STARTING OUT MODEL 195Ed HARDWARE CONFIGURATION The following steps should be completed before any modifications are made to the IP address in the ESTeem Model 195Ed: 1. Connect the antenna to the antenna connector on the ESTeem Model 195Ed (Figure 3). For a single antenna use Antenna Port A and connect both if using dual antennas. Single Antenna Configuration Dual Antenna Configuration Leave Open Figure 3: Antenna Configuration Diagram 2. Assemble the 195Ed hardware as shown in Figure 4.
CHAPTER 3 STARTING OUT 3. Complete the following System Configuration Table. The Model 195Ed will link to other Model 195Ed’s on the network via the WLAN Media Access Control (MAC) address found on the bottom of the case. This MAC address is six hexadecimal digits separated by colons and is configured at the factory. Every MAC address in the world is unique and can not be changed. Complete the following chart to aid in your when defining modes of operation and repeater routes.
CHAPTER 3 STARTING OUT ESTEEM DISCOVERY UTILITY The ESTeem Discovery Utility will allow you to configure the IP address on the Model 195Ed to match your network. Install the Discovery Utility on your computer by inserting the Resource Disk in your CD drive. Note: The ESTeem Resource Disk is stand-alone copy of the ESTeem Web site (Figure 5). Navigation of the Resource Disk is as simple as using your web browser.
