CHAPTER 3
STARTING OUT
OVERVIEW
Most configuration of the ESTeem Model 195Eg 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 RS-232
interface to set the IP address in the 195Eg.
QUICK START GUIDE
A printed copy of the Model 195Eg Quick Start Guide was provided in the documentation package that arrived with your new
ESTeem 195Eg. This guide is an abbreviated step-by-step procedure on configuration of the 195Eg 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 195Eg HARDWARE LAYOUT
