Select Return to previous menu (X<Enter>) a secondtime to return to the Main Menu.Step 2 – Modes of OperationThe ESTeem Model 192E can be used in a variety ofnetwork system configurations. The ESTeem can stand-alone 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 ofFigure 2: Radio Configuration Menu
CHAPTER 2APPLICATION PROGRAMMINGRevised: 2 Oct 01 2-4network, all wireless cards (ESTeem Model WLANC11)communicate only with the Access Point that serves theWireless Local Area Network (WLAN) as a HUB. Multiple Access Points can be configured in the networkto extend the coverage area of the wireless cards. Thewireless cards will automatically change between AccessPoints (Roam) as long as they are all configured with thesame SSID and Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)information. This type of network can extend the rangeof 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 3 shows an example of the Model 192Ein an Access Point Configuration.To configure the ESTeem Model 192E as an AccessPoint, please use the following:1.

Once at the Main Menu, press Save and ApplyChanges (7<Enter>) and Yes (Y<Enter>) to rebootthe ESTeeem.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 6 shows an example of an Ethernet Bridgingnetwork.The Bridging Mode has two possible configurations,Master Bridge and Client Bridge (Figure 6). A bridgingnetworks can only have one ESTeem Model 192Econfigured as a Master Bridge. A 192E configured as aClient Bridge can communicate with another 192Econfigured as a Client Bridge, but the Ethernet dataMUST be routed through a Master Bridge first. The twoClient Bridge modems do not communicate directly,therefore all bridge networks must have at least one 192Econfigured as the Master Bridge. For example, in asimple point to point wireless Ethernet network, oneModel 192E will be configured as a Master Bridge andone will be configured as a Client Bridge.Master BridgeTo configure the ESTeem Model 192E as a MasterBridge, please use the following:1.

CHAPTER 4ANTENNASRevised: 15 Oct 01 4-2ANTENNA AND CABLECONFIGURATIONSWarning: Only the tested cable lengths and antennasprovided by EST meet the FCC maximum peak outputpower requirements. Any other combination ofantennas or coax cables is not authorized.EST offers three (3) different types of antennas for bothindoor and outdoor configurations.Part Number: AA01SOmni Directional Rubber Duck Antenna.Unity GainDirectly mounts to antenna portPart Number: AA20SOmni Directional Building Mount Antenna5 dBd gainUses either 25’ RG-8 Cable (Indoor) or50’ Heliax Cable (Outdoor)Part Number: AA202S* (Point-to-point ONLY)Directional Building Mount Antenna13.9 dBd gain50’ Heliax Cable (Outdoor) with Lightning Arrestor(EST P/N: AA164) and RG-8 Patch CableOutdoor Fixed Base ConfigurationAA20S or AA202S AntennaLightning Protection50’ Heliax CableIndoor ConfigurationAA20S or AA202S Antenna25’ RG-8 CableWarning: Only pre-made coax cables from the factoryused in conjunction with either the AA20Somni-directional or AA202S directionalantenna meet all FCC Section 15.247(b)EIRP maximum power requirements.*Use of the AA202S, directional antennais limited to fixed point to pointapplications only. In accordance FCCSection 15.247(b)iii, the operator orinstaller is responsible for ensuring thesystems is used exclusively for fixed, point-to-point applications.COAXIAL CABLESThe 25’ length of RG-8 coax cable and the 50’ length ofHeliax cable are the minimum cable lengths allowed foruse the above antennas. Listed below are representativecable losses in db/100 ft at the 2.4 GHz frequency range:Frequency (MHz) RG-8 ½” Heliax---------------------------------------------------------------------2400-2462 - 10.0 - 3.74In a severe noise environment it may be necessary to usea double shield type of coax cable such as RG-214/U inplace of the RG-8. This cable must be purchased fromthe factory to meet FCC requirements.Note: A -3 dB loss means you have lost 1/2 of yoursignal. A +3 dB gain means you have 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.
