CHAPTER 2APPLICATION PROGRAMMINGRevised: 10 May 01 2-2SYSTEM CONFIGURATIONSThe ESTeem Model 192E can be used in a variety ofnetwork system configurations. The ESTeem can standalone as the center of a wireless infrastructure, canprovide access from your wireless network to your wiredLAN, or bridge between Ethernet segments on yournetwork.The Model 192E can also be configured as a repeater inthe network to increase the range of the wirelessinfrastructure. The maximum communications range isbased upon how you configure your wireless network. This section of the manual will describe the possibleconfigurations of the wireless network.ACCESS POINT CONFIGURATIONIn this network one of the ESTeem Model 192E modemsis configured as the “Access Point”. This Access Point isthen used to bridge wireless network to the cabled LANnetwork or act as the center point on a stand alonewireless network. When configured in this type ofnetwork, all wireless cards (ESTeem Model WLANC11)communicate only with the Access Point that serves theWLAN as a HUB. This type of network can extend therange of the wireless cards greater than they can directlycommunication with each other. The Access Point is responsible for maintaining a logicallink between the clients and providing the wirelessclients with access to information on the wired LANnetwork. Figure 1 shows and example of the Model192E in an Access Point Configuration.ETHERNET BRIDGING CONFIGURATIONThe Ethernet Bridging network allows the Model 192Emodems to provide links between two or more Ethernetsegments on a network. Ethernet segments can be eithersingle network clients such as computers or PLCs or tiesinto building LAN networks such as HUBs or switches.This type of network can provide tremendous flexibilityin your wireless network configurations and also providea much greater range than available through the wirelesscard network as described in the Access Point section. Figure 2 shows an example of an Ethernet Bridgingnetwork.COMBINED ACCESS POINT ANDETHERNET BRIDGING CONFIGURATIONAs the name would imply, this type of network is acombination of an Access Point network and an EthernetBridging network. This type of network would proveboth communication to a Building LAN network from aremote Model 192E and also provide wireless access tothe network for the wireless cards. This type of networkrequires two ESTeem Model 192E modems and at least athree port Ethernet HUB.

CHAPTER 3INTERFACINGRevised: 10 May 01 3-2 SERIAL INTERFACE CONFIGURATIONThe ESTeem Model 192E has a standard RS-232C, 9-pinFemale connector for interfacing directly with the serialport on the computer. Use ESTeem part number AA062to interface the Model 192E with a 9-pin serial port on acomputer. The serial port on the ESTeem Model 192E can be usedto access the configuration menu in the ESTeem forsystem and network configuration. The ESTeemcommunications port operates at 19,200 bps, No Parity, 8Data Bits and 1 Stop Bit (19,200,N,8,1). Configure yourterminal program to match these settings.RS-232 PORT PIN-OUT TABLEESTeem Model 192ERS-232C Port Pin-Out TablePin No. Function1Data Carrier Detect (DCD)2Receive Data (RxD)3Transmit Data (TxD)4Data Terminal Ready (DTR)5Signal Ground6Data Set Ready (DSR)7Request To Send (RTS Input)8Clear To Send (CTS)9Ring Line (RI)ETHERNET INTERFACEThe ESTeem Model 192E’s Ethernet Port is configuredto directly interface with an Ethernet HUB using astraight through 10BaseT cable. If the ESTeem isconnected to a network interface card (NIC), you willneed to use 10BaseT reversing cable.

If there is any error in making thisconnection the output of the transmitter willbe greatly reduced.COAXIAL CABLESTo minimize signal loss, the overall length of the coaxialcable should be as short as possible. To avoid corrosionselect coaxial cable manufacturers with tinned copperbraid, where possible. Listed below are representativecable losses in db/100 ft at the 2.4 GHz frequency range:Frequency (GHz) RG-8 ½” Heliax---------------------------------------------------------------------2.400-2.462 - 8.0 - 3.74In a severe noise environment it may be desirable to use adouble shield type of coax cable such as RG-214/U inplace of the RG-8.Note: Pre-made coax cables can be purchased fromthe factory. A -3 dB loss means you have lost1/2 of your signal. A +3 dB gain means youhave doubled (x2) your signal.WEATHER PROOFING COAXCONNECTIONS1. Coat the threads of the connectors with siliconelubricant prior to assembly (See Note 1) and handtighten. Care should be taken not to get anylubricant on the center conductor.2. Wrap the connector assembly with a vapor barrierpatch for weather proofing (See Note 2), ensuring tooverlap onto the coax cable approximately 1 1/2inches.3. Apply an electrical coating (sealing agent) over thevapor barrier patch for added protection (See Note3).Notes:1. Dow Corning RTV-3140 or equivalent.2.
