ASSEMBLING THE AA195PM TWO HOLE OUTDOOR POLE MOUNTING KIT
The AA195PM mounting kit contains everything required for pole mounting and weatherproofing the ESTeem Model 195E for
outdoor installations. The 195E with AA195PM mounting kit can be directly mounted to a round pole from 1.25" to a diameter of
2.25" OD. Any mounting structure greater than 2" requires hose clamp strapping run through the Pole Mount Brackets. The
mounting kit requires the following assembly:
1.
If you purchased an AA195PM mounting kit with your Model 195E, the kit will be packed in the same packing box as the
ESTeem (Figure 1).
2.
Remove and inventory the two (2) Pole Mounting Brackets, one (1) Two-Hole Face Plate Cover (with single port cover
installed), one (1) Heat Shield and (1) AA195PM Hardware bag from the packing box (Figure 1). Report any missing or
damaged items to ESTeem Customer Support (509-735-9092 Phone) as soon as possible for replacement.

  • Page 9 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.

  • Page 20: Radio Configuration

    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:.
  • Page 22: Access Control List (Acl)

    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.
