CHAPTER 3
STARTING OUT
OVERVIEW
Most configuration of the ESTeem Model 195Ep 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. If this IP
address does not match your network configuration, you will need to use either the ESTeem 195E Discovery program or the RS232 interface to set the IP address in the 195Ep.
QUICK START GUIDE
A printed copy of the Model 195Ep Quick Start Guide was provided in the documentation package that arrived with your new
ESTeem 195Ep. This guide is an abbreviated step-by-step procedure on configuration of the 195Ep for most Ethernet bridging
and Access Point applications. A copy of the Quick Start Guide is provided in Appendix G of this User’s Manual for
convenience.
MODEL 195Ep HARDWARE LAYOUT

USING THE RS-232 INTERFACE
Any terminal emulation program that can run with VT100 emulation can be used for this configuration of the ESTeem. Most
Windows users will probably use either Hyper Terminal or the Terminal Emulation in the ESTeem Utility program. Configure
your RS-232C port for a Baud Rate to 38,400, Data Bits to 8, Parity to None, Stop Bits to 1 and Handshaking to None and set
the Emulation type to VT100. Once your ESTeem has an IP address, you can attach the ESTeem to your network and use the
Web Server for further programming.
Installing Esteem Utility Program
The ESTeem Utility program version 2.7.0 and above can configure
the Terminal Emulation to VT100 for easy navigation of the
configuration menu. The ESTeem Utility Program is located on the
ESTeem Resource Disk (AA109) which is stand-alone copy of the
ESTeem Web site (Figure 5). Navigation of the Resource Disk is as
simple as using your web browser. All technical documentation,
User’s Manuals and the ESTeem Utility Program is available on the
disk. To install the ESTeem Utility Program use the following
instructions:
