SYSTEM CONFIGURATIONS
The ESTeem Model 192E can be used in a variety of
network system configurations. The ESTeem can stand
alone as the center of a wireless infrastructure, can
provide access from your wireless network to your wired
LAN, or bridge between Ethernet segments on your
network.
The Model 192E can also be configured as a repeater in
the network to increase the range of the wireless
infrastructure. The maximum communications range is
based upon how you configure your wireless network.
This section of the manual will describe the possible
configurations of the wireless network.
ACCESS POINT CONFIGURATION
In this network one of the ESTeem Model 192E modems
is configured as the “Access Point”. This Access Point is
then used to bridge wireless network to the cabled LAN
network or act as the center point on a stand alone
wireless network. When configured in this type of
network, all wireless cards (ESTeem Model WLANC11)
communicate only with the Access Point that serves the
WLAN as a HUB. This type of network can extend the
range of the wireless cards greater than they can directly
communication with each other.
The Access Point is responsible for maintaining a logical
link between the clients and providing the wireless
clients with access to information on the wired LAN
network. Figure 1 shows and example of the Model
192E in an Access Point Configuration.
ETHERNET BRIDGING CONFIGURATION
The Ethernet Bridging network allows the Model 192E
modems to provide links between two or more Ethernet
segments on a network. Ethernet segments can be either
single network clients such as computers or PLCs or ties
into building LAN networks such as HUBs or switches.
This type of network can provide tremendous flexibility
in your wireless network configurations and also provide
a much greater range than available through the wireless
card network as described in the Access Point section.
Figure 2 shows an example of an Ethernet Bridging
network.
COMBINED ACCESS POINT AND
ETHERNET BRIDGING CONFIGURATION
As the name would imply, this type of network is a
combination of an Access Point network and an Ethernet
Bridging network. This type of network would prove
both communication to a Building LAN network from a
remote Model 192E and also provide wireless access to
the network for the wireless cards. This type of network
requires two ESTeem Model 192E modems and at least a
three port Ethernet HUB. Figure 3 shows a combined
network.

SERIAL INTERFACE CONFIGURATION
The ESTeem Model 192E has a standard RS-232C, 9-pin
Female connector for interfacing directly with the serial
port on the computer. Use ESTeem part number AA062
to interface the Model 192E with a 9-pin serial port on a
computer.
The serial port on the ESTeem Model 192E can be used
to access the configuration menu in the ESTeem for
system and network configuration. The ESTeem
communications port operates at 19,200 bps, No Parity, 8
Data Bits and 1 Stop Bit (19,200,N,8,1). Configure your
terminal program to match these settings.

ETHERNET INTERFACE
The ESTeem Model 192E’s Ethernet Port is configured
to directly interface with an Ethernet HUB using a
straight through 10BaseT cable. If the ESTeem is
connected to a network interface card (NIC), you will
need to use 10BaseT reversing cable.

indoor and outdoor configurations.

Outdoor Fixed Base Configuration
Lightning Protection
50’ Heliax Cable
Indoor Configuration
25’ RG-8 Cable
Note: The cables and antennas are optimized with the
ESTeem for maximum output power allowed by
the FCC and IC.
Extreme care must be taken when attaching
coax connectors to the antenna feedlines.
If there is any error in making this
connection the output of the transmitter will
be greatly reduced.
COAXIAL CABLES
To minimize signal loss, the overall length of the coaxial
cable should be as short as possible. To avoid corrosion
select coaxial cable manufacturers with tinned copper
braid, where possible. Listed below are representative
cable losses in db/100 ft at the 2.4 GHz frequency range:
Frequency (GHz) RG-8 ½” Heliax
---------------------------------------------------------------------
2.400-2.462 - 8.0 - 3.74
In a severe noise environment it may be desirable to use a
double shield type of coax cable such as RG-214/U in
place of the RG-8.
Note: Pre-made coax cables can be purchased from
the factory. A -3 dB loss means you have lost
1/2 of your signal. A +3 dB gain means you
have doubled (x2) your signal.
WEATHER PROOFING COAX
CONNECTIONS
1. Coat the threads of the connectors with silicone
lubricant prior to assembly (See Note 1) and hand
tighten. Care should be taken not to get any
lubricant on the center conductor.
2. Wrap the connector assembly with a vapor barrier
patch for weather proofing (See Note 2), ensuring to
overlap onto the coax cable approximately 1 1/2
inches.
3. Apply an electrical coating (sealing agent) over the
vapor barrier patch for added protection (See Note
3).

GROUNDING
All building mount antennas require attachment to a
good earth ground for optimum efficiency. Contact a
reputable local communications shop for procedures for
your area.
LIGHTNING ARRESTORS
Lightning arrestors should be used on all external
building mount antennas for personal protection and to
minimize damage to the transceiver during lightning
storms. The units should be installed as per
manufacturers instructions provided with the device.
