MODEL 192E OVERVIEW

The ESTeem Model 192E is a IEEE 802.11b
compatible wireless LAN transceiver that
can used to build a Wireless Local Area
Network (WLAN) for line-of-sight
distances to 7 miles for fixed base and
mobile applications. The IEEE 802.11
WLAN was designed to look and feel like
any IEEE 802 wired LAN. The Model 192E
can be configured as a wireless Access
Point to a LAN, Access Point Repeater,
EtherStation Mode (Mobile Client to an
Access Point), or Bridge between wired
LAN’s or Ethernet devices.

MODEL 192E CONFIGURATION
MODES

The Model 192E can be configured for
four modes without any changes to the hardware:

CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

Figure 1: Access Point Mode Diagram

1. Access Point Mode. When the Model 192E is configured as an Access point it will provide a wireless gateway from a

hardwired Local Area Network (LAN) to laptops, office computers, Personal Digital Assistants (PDA’s), video cameras,
PLC’s, etc. that have integral or external 802.11b wireless devices. All Access Points must be physically connected to the
same network (LAN) to provide seamless Ethernet communication for mobile devices.

2. Access Point Repeater Mode. The Access Point Repeater is a unique enhancement of the 802.11b Access Point mode

available only in the ESTeem Model 192E. With this feature, The Model 192E Access Points do not have to be hardwired
together on the same physical LAN to provide seamless Ethernet communication for 802.11b devices, but instead
automatically associate with other Model
192Es programmed with the same
configuration (i.e. SSID, Frequency, WEP,
etc.) for routing message traffic over the
wireless Ethernet network. If there are
multiple routes to a destination, this
feature will create a “self-healing” network
by automatically re-routing data through
an alternate path to reach its destination if
the primary path is inoperable. When
programmed in the Access Point Repeater
mode the Model 192Es will also bridge any
Ethernet network or Ethernet device
connected to the unit over this same
wireless Ethernet network. This mode
gives the user the features of a point to
multi-point bridge network but also allows

802.11b devices or the Model 192E in the
EtherStation mode to access the network.
See Figure 2.

Figure 2: Access Point Repeater Mode Diagram

Revised: 16 Oct 03 1-1 EST P/N AA107

CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

3. EtherStation Mode. This is a special feature of the Model 192E when used in an Access Point application. When the 192E

is configured in the EtherStation Mode and attached to an Ethernet Device, the Model 192E will emulate an 802.11b
PCMCIA wireless card in functionality for communication to an 802.11b Access Point. This mode can provide greatly
increased range over a Wireless LAN Card for mobile Ethernet devices such as vehicles, forklifts, cranes, etc. See Figures 1
and 2.

4. Bridging Mode. The Model 192E can be

used to bridge LAN’s and other devices
with an Ethernet port. In this mode the
ESTeem Model 192E will not accept
requests from 802.11b clients. The two
bridge modes available are Master
Bridge and Client Bridge modes. See
Figure 3.

To begin setup of your wireless Ethernet
network you must first select the type of
Model 192E configuration required. Chapter
2 will show hardware diagrams and the
respective program mode that each 192E
should be configured in for that application.
In each example the respective programming
mode for each Model 192E will be shown
under the ESTeem icon. After you have
designed your network, proceed with specific instructions in Chapters 3 & 4 on how to program the 192E for the mode of
operation needed, i.e. Access Point, EtherStation (Access Client), Master Bridge, or Client Bridge Modes.

Figure 3: Point to Multi-Point Ethernet Bridge Diagram

All possible Ethernet network configurations can not be listed. If your application does not match any of the configurations in
Chapter 2, please consult with your network system administrator or contact EST Customer Support at 509-735-9092.

CHAPTER 3

STARTING OUT

Section 3 of the User’s Manual will show basic configuration of the system using the RS-232 port to allow further programming
using the ESTeem Web Page shown in Chapter 4.

When powering up the ESTeem for the first time you must use the ESTeem RS-232C Configuration Menu to setup the basic
operating parameters such as assigning the ESTeem an IP Address, IP Net Mask, Gateway IP Address, Domain Name, and
DNS IP Address. Once the IP address is configured you can communicate to the ESTeem through your web browser.

Any terminal emulation program can be used for this configuration of the ESTeem. Most Windows users will probably use
Hyper Terminal. 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. Once your ESTeem has an IP address, can attach the ESTeem to your network and use the Web Server
for further programming.

Terminal. 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. For information on the Model 192E RS-232 Port see Appendix C.

5. Plug the ESTeem Model AA174 power supply into a wall socket and connect the Molex power connector to the ESTeem.

The power light (PWR) on the front of the ESTeem should be illuminated.

6. If your computer is configured properly, you will see the ESTeem Model 192E booting sequence on your Terminal Emulation

program. See Figure 3.

Once the ESTeem boot sequence is complete (approximately 1 minute) you will receive this message:

“Please press Enter to active this console.”

If you don’t see this message press the Reset button on the front panel of the ESTeem and/or check the programming of
your RS-232 port.

The ESTeem Model 192E can be configured in six different modes of operation. Chapter 2 shows examples of site diagrams and
the respective mode of operation for each Model 192E to perform its specific task in that example. Listed below are the six
modes of operation:

Ethernet Only. Ethernet Only is a diagnostic mode that allows updates on the ESTeem without activating the transceiver. The
Mode Setup allows the user to change the Model 192E’s Ethernet IP and Ethernet Netmask addresses. See Figure 13.

Figure 13: Ethernet Only Mode Setup Screen

Access Point. Allows the user to configure the Model 192E in the Access Point mode. Reference Chapter 2 Configuration
Diagrams for examples. The SSID is the unique identification for your wireless network. All 802.11b devices that share a wireless
network MUST have the same SSID code. This identification code is case sensitive and must NOT contain spaces. See
Appendix D for information on setting the Channel (Frequency) and Data Rates. See Figure 14.
