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.
ESTeem Discovery Utility
The ESTeem Discovery Utility will allow you to configure the IP address on the Edge 900 radio to match your network regardless
of its current IP subnet. The Discovery Utility will also allow access to the Edge 900 Configuration Utility for programming and
troubleshooting the wireless network.
Installation
The Discovery Utility can be downloaded from the ESTeem web site (http://www.esteem.com) or is available on the Software
Resource media that was shipped with the Edge 900 radios.
1.
The Discovery Utility is a Java™ based application compatible with any computer operating system (Window, Linux, etc).
The application requires two (2) additional support files to operate:
Java – Downloadable from http://www.java.com. The version required will be based upon your operating system.
Note: The installation and updates from Java may try and install additional web browser toolbars. Uncheck the optional
installation if they are not desired.
WinPcap – Downloadable from http://www.winpcap.org/. The version required will be based upon your operating system.
2.
3.
Once both the above programs have been installed, save the ESTDiscover.exe file to any location on your computer such
as the Desktop. Double click the ESTeem.exe program and Figure 1 will be displayed.
Figure 1: ESTeem Discovery Utility
Connect the Edge 900 modem to your computer either directly to the Ethernet card or through a Switch using a CAT-5e
Ethernet cable. The Ethernet port supports Auto-Negotiation, so either a patch cable or crossover cable will work. Press
the Discover EST Modems button.

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.
Figure 3: Opening Radio Configuration Software
Edge 900 Configuration Utility
The Edge 900 configuration utility will allow programming of the radio for either the Master Bridge or Slave Bridge. Every
network will consist of a single Master Bridge with one or more Slave Bridge radios. The hopping pattern for a unique Edge
900 network is determined by the AES-256 encryption pass phrase set in step 4 of the programing. The following is the
programming procedure for the Edge 900:
Step 1 – Setting Mode of Operation
The Edge 900 will either be configured as the Master Bridge or the Slave Bridge. Every network will consist of a single Master
Bridge and one or more Slave Bridge radios. The network will always be a “hub and spoke” based network with the Master
Bridge in the center (Hub). The first page of the Edge 900 Configuration Utility (Figure 4) will ask if you are programming the
Master or Slave Bridge. Select the mode of operation and press the Next button to continue.

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.
Figure 5: Step 2 – Network Layout
Step 3 – Serial Port Configuration
Step three will set the data rate for the serial port on the Edge 900 (Figure 6). Configure to match the connected device or
skip to step 4 if only using the Ethernet interface. Press the Next button to proceed.

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.

Information to Users
The equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for both the FCC Class B digital device (pursuant to Part 15
of the FCC rules) and Industry Canada (IC) CAN ICES-3 (B)/NMB-3(B).
FCC Statement
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device
must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Caution: Changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by ESTeem Wireless Modems for compliance
could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
IC Statement
“This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including

Edge 900 MHz Antenna and Cable Configurations
ESTeem offers different types of antennas for both indoor and outdoor configurations. This device has been designed to
operate with the antennas listed below, and having a maximum gain of 7 dB. Antennas not included in this list or having a
gain greater than 7 dB are strictly prohibited for use with this device. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms.
This radio transmitter ESTeem Edge 900 MHz (HVIN: 217ES) has been approved by Industry Canada to operate with the antenna
types listed below with the maximum permissible gain and required antenna impedance for each antenna type indicated.
Antenna types not included in this list, having a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly
prohibited for use with this device.
Le present emetteur radio ESTeem HVIN: 216AD a ete approuve par Industrie Canada pour fonctionner avec les types d'antenne
enumeres ci-dessous et ayant un gain admissible maximal et l'impedance requise pour chaque type d'antenne. Les types
d'antenne non inclus dans cette liste, ou dont le gain est superieur au gain maximal indique, sont strictement interdits pour
l'exploitation de l'emetteur.
Warning: Only the tested cable lengths and antennas provided by EST meet the FCC and DOC maximum peak output
power requirements. Any other combination of antennas or coax cables is not authorized. To reduce potential radio
interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated
power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that permitted for successful communication.
