Page 8: Access Point Modes
Access Point Bridge Mode An ESTeem Model 195E in Access Point Bridge mode will both provide wireless access to mobile clients (Access Point) and bridge all Ethernet data connected to the Ethernet ports. The AP Bridge mode will pass all network traffic between connected devices including global network broadcasts.
Page 9: Access Point Repeater
Access Point Repeater The Access Point Repeater is a unique enhancement of the ESTeem Model 195E series. The Access Point Repeater can be used with any of the above Access Point modes. With this repeater feature enabled, the Model 195E Access Points do not have to be hardwired together on the same physical LAN to provide seamless Ethernet communication for roaming clients.
Page 10: Station (802.11G Client) Modes
Station Masquerade Mode The Station Masquerade mode is another case multiple devices will be connected to a single ESTeem in a mobile or client application. However, unlike the Station Router mode, the Station Masquerade will consolidate all connected Ethernet devices to a single IP address on the network. The devices connected to the Station Masquerade 195E will be able to access information from both the wireless and wired LAN, but will be inaccessible the other way similar in application to a firewall.
Page 11: Rs-232 Serial Applications
RS-232 Serial Applications The ESTeem 195E is installed with an RS-232 data port for serial data applications run over the broadband link (Figure 6). The serial over broadband network can be used in a point-to-point or point-to-multi-point application for networking serial (RS-232C) devices, providing serial connections to legacy hardware in a new Ethernet network or providing for high-bandwidth devices (such as Video or Voice over IP) in an existing serial network.
Page 12: Chapter 2 - Starting Out
Determining the correct mode of operation for the ESTeem 195E is the first step. Chapter 3 of this User’s Manual details the modes of operation and applications where each would be used.

Page 17: Router Modes
Router Modes (AP Router and AP Masquerade) The ESTeem 195E can be configured as a network router or network firewall between the Ethernet LAN connection and the wireless network of remote locations. The router modes are used to limit the network traffic from a busy Ethernet network connection to only those specific IP address used on the wireless network (see Figure 4).
Page 18: Mobile Client Modes
EXAMPLE APPLICATIONS Mobile Client Modes (EtherStation, Station Router or Station Masquerade) The ESTeem 195E can also be configured to function as a mobile client. The client modes allow the 195E to seamlessly roam between fixed Access Points. These Access Points can either be ESTeem 195E wireless modems configured in one of the three Access Point modes (AP Bridge, AP Router or AP Masquerade –...
Page 19: Access Point Modes
Masquerade). The Access Point mode will provide either a single wireless connection (Figure 6) or overlapping coverage (Figure 7) to create a “canopy” of wireless coverage for 802.11 devices. The ESTeem 195E in AP mode can function as both an Ethernet bridge or router and 802.11 AP simultaneously (Figure 8).

Page 41: Configuring Time Server
UTILITIES & FEATURES CONFIGURING TIME SERVER Enabling NTP time synchronization services on the ESTeem 195E will allow usage of time services from upstream services to keep the time on the system accurate. To allow time synchronization, the Model 195E must be configured with the NTP Daemon enabled and the appropriate IP address of the upstream network NTP server.
Page 42 CHAPTER 4 UTILITIES & FEATURES 3. The NTP daemon is enabled by selecting YES for NTP ENABLE (Figure 12). When enabled, the NTP daemon will use time services from upstream services to keep the time on this system accurate. 4. Next, the NTP SERVICE ENABLE should be configured to “YES,” if you want to allow the system to provide NTP service for clients wishing time synchronization (Figure 12).
Page 43: Vlan Operation
Virtual LAN (VLAN) systems are rapidly becoming the desired configuration on larger Ethernet networks. The ESTeem 195E software will allow the Ethernet modems to transparently pass the VLAN packets for these networks. The 195E currently can not be used as a VLAN switch, but will pass VLAN tagged Ethernet packets through the wireless bridge.
Page 44: Igmp Snooping
UTILITIES & FEATURES IGMP SNOOPING Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) Snooping allows the ESTeem 195E to operate more efficiently in networks with high Multicast (UDP, etc.) traffic. IGMP Snooping will define the destination for the Multicast traffic and send the data to the correct wireless Ethernet modem, not the entire network. This limiting of Multicast traffic to specific destinations greatly increases the overall network efficiency.
Page 45 Ethernet Bridge Mode (Repeater Peers) When the ESTeem 195E is configured as a repeater peer, all multicast traffic is “wrapped” in a Unicast frame and sent to all other repeater peers. (Figure 14) This operation allows the ESTeem network to receive an acknowledge packet and retransmit the data if the packet is lost during transmission.
Page 46 Ethernet Bridge Mode (Repeater Peers) With IGMP Snooping When the ESTeem 195E is configured as a repeater peer, IGMP Snooping is enabled and the network supports IGMP protocol, the 195E will begin to identify the connected Ethernet devices using Multicast transmissions and report this information to the network.
Page 47 UTILITIES & FEATURES Client Modes When the ESTeem 195E is configured as a mobile client (EtherStation, Station Router or Station Masquerade), there are two configurations that will increase the reliability of Multicast traffic. The first phase is encapsulation of the multicast packets, as described in the Repeater Peer, and the second is IGMP Snooping if the network will support the protocol.
Page 48 Figure 18: Multicast Enable Enabling IGMP Snooping To enable the ESTeem 195E for IGMP Snooping, select Advanced>Bridge Variables and press the Next Button (Figure 19). Select IGMP Snoop to YES, press the Accept Button and then Commit and Reboot. Figure 19: Repeater Peer with IGMP Enabled...

Page 65: Esteem Mesh Network
Ethernet devices. This scenario poses the question, which path will the network select? The ESTeem Mesh Network takes out the guessing games by allowing the user to select and prioritize all communication routes in the system. In our example we would want the primary link to go through Tank B (Repeater) and use the direct link only if this primary link fails.
Page 66: Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (Rstp)
You can also configure the Mesh networking directly through the web configuration setup (Chapter 5). Figure 3 shows an example repeater peer table from the setup menus. For an ESTeem 195E to communicate with another ESTeem 195E, select Yes must at Enable Repeater Capability. Next, the Wireless LAN (WLAN) MAC address of each Model 195E that will have direct communications must be added to the Repeater Peer List.

WPA is server/client relationship from a software driver on a computer’s wireless LAN (WLAN) card to an Access Point. The scope of WPA is limited in use to this configuration only. The ESTeem Model 195E can support WPA Enterprise and PSK as an Access Point, but the level of security on the Bridging layer is configured separately.
Page 97 IEEE governing body to the manufacturer and is the “fingerprint” for all Ethernet devices. Using a combination of both the WPA or 128-Bit WEP encryption and the ACL filter provide the ESTeem an extremely secure wireless networking layer.
Page 98 When the ESTeem Model 195E is configured in either the Access Point Masquerade or the Client Masquerade modes, the wireless modem functions as a network firewall. If access to the wired network is the greatest concern, place the ESTeem in the Masquerade mode and the wireless network will be completely isolated from the wired Ethernet network.
