CHAPTER 8 ANTENNA SETUPS FRESNEL ZONE The Fresnel zone shows the ellipsoid spread of the radio waves around the visual line-of-sight after they leave the antenna (see figure above). This area must be clear of obstructions or the signal strength will be reduced due to signal blockage. Typically, 20% Fresnel Zone blockage introduces little signal loss to the link.

ETHERNET INTERFACE The ESTeem Model 195Ed’s Ethernet Port is a Full and Half-Duplex Auto-negotiation interface supporting both 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps (10/100BaseT). The Ethernet port is compliant with IEEE 802.3af Power Over Ethernet (PoE) to provide both data and power over the same CAT-5E grade Ethernet cable.
CONFIGURING DHCP SERVER The ESTeem 195Ed Ethernet port supports both client and server Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). Figure 2 shows the DHCP host configuration screen that will be shown if DHCP server is selected in the setup screens. Enter the values that match the DHCP configuration for your network.

195Ed FREQUENCY OF OPERATION In a wireless Ethernet network all of the ESTeem Model 195Ed’s must be set to the same radio frequency of operation or channel. Listed on the right is a table showing the channel and corresponding frequency of operation. The frequency of operation is selectable when configuring the mode of operation of the 195Ed (reference Chapter 4).
Page 21
ESTeems are configured for EtherStation mode or working in a mobile environment. The ESTeem 195Ed is set at the factory to operate at all speeds from 1-11 Mbps and should not need adjustment. The RF Basic Rate is programmed in the Model 195Ed through the Advanced Menu>Wireless LAN Settings>Wlan0 Device and the value for wlan0_AP_BASICRATES:.
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 195Ed can support WPA Enterprise and PSK as an Access Point, but the level of security on the Bridging layer is configured separately.
Page 23
When the ESTeem Model 195Ed 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.
APPENDIX F TROUBLESHOOTING TESTING COMMUNICATION LINK After you have configured at least two of the Model 195Ed wireless Ethernet modems for operation, you can verify communication with each the following steps: Status LED Status Light Solid Red on Link The quickest source of link status is to view the Status Light on the face of the 195Ed (Figure 1).

Other Access Points Figure 3: Repeater Peer Table Repeater Peers - The Peer Table will display all connected 195Ed configured to repeat to this ESTeem by their Wireless (WLAN) MAC address. Received Signal Strength – This is the first of the two numbers listed in the block. This signal strength value is listed in dBm.
What characters are valid for WEP Key entry? - Only the Hexadecimal characters 0-9 and A-F are valid for key entry. What ESTeem Utility version is required to program the Model 195Ed? – The ESTeem Utility program is not required to program the Model 195Ed.

Repeater Route as it moves. For example, if a mobile device such as a crane can communicate directly to another ESTeem and will not loose the link in its travel, the AP Repeater Mode could be used. If the device requires two ESTeem Model 195Ed’s (Base and Repeater) to maintain communication across its complete travel, the Station Modes should be used on the...

Ethernet cable. The Ethernet port on the 195Ed supports Auto-Negotiation so either a patch cable or crossover cable will work. Open the ESTeem Discovery Program and press the Discover Modems button. The Model 195Ed will be displayed in the program by the Ethernet MAC address and Current IP Address (Figure 3).

To quickly open a web browser page to the IP address programmed in the 195 modem, “right-mouse” click on the 195’s MAC address and select Open Browser from the menu (Figure 5). If your computer is configured for the same IP subnet at the ESTeem 195 wireless modem, you will be asked to sign in with the Username and Password (Figure 6) and you can begin programming the Model 195 for your application.

This software requires that the ESTeem 195Ed has software version 302.8.102 or greater installed for this feature to function. This software program is found on the AA109 Resources Disk or available from the ESTeem web site. To install the utility, please complete the following: Installation The ESTeem Discovery Utility will allow you to configure the IP address on the Model 195Ed to match your network.
UTILITIES & FEATURES SETTING LOCAL TIME The ESTeem Model 195Ed will be shipped from the factory with the internal real-time clock set to Pacific Time. To change the clock settings to the local time for accurate log file entries: Select Advanced from the top Menu then Wireless LAN Settings>wlan0 device and press the Next button (Figure 8).
UTILITIES & FEATURES CONFIGURING TIME SERVER Enabling NTP time synchronization services on the ESTeem 195Ed will allow to use time services from upstream services to keep the time on the system accurate. To allow time synchronization, the Model 195Ed must be configured with the NTP Daemon enabled and the appropriate IP address of the upstream network NTP server.
Page 34
APPENDIX G UTILITIES & FEATURES Press the next button and Figure 11 will be displayed. At the bottom of the page are the NTP server configurations. The NTP daemon is enabled by selecting YES for NTP ENABLE (Figure 11). When enabled, the NTP daemon will use time services from upstream services to keep the time on this system accurate.
