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.

3. Inventory the AA195PM Hardware bag for all the components listed in Figure 2.
4. Assemble the two Pole Mounting Brackets with the included U-bolts, hardware and Pole Mount Clamps. Reference Figure 3.
5. Place the four supplied 10-24 x 1” Phillips Pan Head screws through the mounting holes of the Heat Shield and attach to the to
the top of the ESTeem 195E (Figure 4).

6. Attach the two Pole Mounting Brackets to the ESTeem Model 195E with the 10-24 x 1” Phillips Pan Head screws through the
top of the heat shield. Reference Figure 5 (Heat Shield removed for detail).
7. Assemble the outdoor rated CAT-5e Ethernet cable (Not Provided) with the supplied Ethernet Cable Boot (Figure 6).
8. Feed the CAT-5e Ethernet connector(s) through the Face Plate Cover and secure the Ethernet Cable Boot to the cover.
Reference Figure 7. NOTE: The Ethernet cable boot must be installed before the RJ-45 end is installed. If using the ESTeem
AA09.1 outdoor Ethernet cable, verify that the Ethernet cable boot end is routed toward the ESTeem 195E.

9. Route the CAT-5e Ethernet cable through the molded strain-relief fins in the Face Plate Cover (Figure 8) to secure the cable
and provide strain-relief for the connector. If a second Ethernet cable is installed, remove the second port cover and route
cable.
10. Plug the CAT-5e Ethernet cable to the Model 195E’s Ethernet port and secure the Face Plate Cover with the attached thumb
screw. Verify that the weatherproof seal on the Face Plate Cover is sealed against the outer rim of the Model 195E. Reference
Figure 9.
11. Attach the antenna connector boots as show in Figure 10 for either dual attached antennas or external antennas. You are now
ready to mount the ESTeem Model 195E

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. Beyond 40% blockage, signal loss will become significant.
This calculation is based on a flat earth. It does not take into account the curvature of the earth. It is recommended for RF path
links greater than 7 miles to have a microwave path analysis done that takes the curvature of the earth and the topography of the
terrain into account.
Fresnel Zone Radius = 72.1 SQRT [(d1d2) / (F(d1 + d2)]

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. The port is compatible with TIA/EIA-568B cable configuration (Figure 1).
A second Ethernet port will be included if the serial option is added to the 195Ed. This second Ethernet port can be used in Bridge
Mode (HUB) or as a router.

RS-232C PROGRAMMING PORT
CONFIGURATION
The ESTeem Model 195Ed has a proprietary RS-232C
interface in a RJ-45 connector on the front panel. To
interface the 195Ed to the serial port on the computer,
you need ESTeem cable AA0621 that combines a
standard Ethernet patch cable to a 9-pin Female adapter.
The serial port on the ESTeem Model 192E can be used
to access the configuration menu in the ESTeem for
system and network configuration. The ESTeem
communications port operates at 38,400 bps, No Parity, 8
Data Bits and 1 Stop Bit (38,400,N,8,1). Configure your
terminal program to match these settings.

RADIO CONFIGURATION
Revised: 30 Jun 08 APX D-1 EST P/N AA107D
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). See Figure 1.
RF COMMUNICATIONS DATA RATE
The RF data rate of the Model 195Ed can be programmed for operation at 1, 2, 5.5, 6, 9, 11, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, or 54 Mbps. The
RF data rate can be set for a fixed rate or a specific range that is dynamically scaled by the Model 195Ed from monitoring the
received signal quality. The Model 195Ed can communicate with multiple client 195Ed devices at different data rates for each
device. By selecting all ranges from 1 to 54 Mbps you will be able to communicate with all client 195Ed regardless of their data
rate and signal quality requirements.
Dynamic scaling means that the Model 195Ed will operate at the highest RF data rate that is programmed into unit. If the received
data quality drops below the required minimums for reliable communications the Model 195Ed will reduce the data rate to the next
lowest step to increase signal quality. Conversely if the signal quality increases above the minimums the Model 195Ed will
increase the RF data rate the next highest level.
The ESTeem 195Ed is set at the factory to operate at maximized scaling speed data rates from 1-54 Mbps and should not need
adjustment. The RF Data Rate is programmed in the Model 195Ed through the Advanced Menu>Wireless LAN Settings>Wlan0
Device and the value for wlan0_OPRATES:. In the example shown in Figure 2 the RF Date Rate is programmed to dynamic scale
from 1 to 54 Mbps (recommend factory default setting). To set the values for the data rate, check the box next to the listed data rate
to enable this rate for operation.
