Modes of Operation
The ESTeem Model 195M, 195H and 195C can be configured for multiple serial and Ethernet applications. Determining the
correct mode of operation for the ESTeem is the first step in creating a reliable wireless network. This chapter will explain each
mode of operation, provide example applications and detailed programming information for each mode. Please review the
following modes of operations. If you do not see an example of your application, please contact ESTeem support at 509-735-
9092 for help in selecting your mode of operation.
Transparent Point to Point Application
The most commonly used mode of operation with the ESTeem Model 195M/H/C is the transparent mode. The transparent
mode will pass serial or Ethernet data between two (or more) wireless modems as if they were connected by a cable. Point to
point operation is when two serial or Ethernet devices are transferring information between either other, directly or through a
repeater (Figures 1 and 2). The type of serial data interface (RS-232, RS-422, RS-485 or Ethernet) on either end of the wireless
link is configurable and can be independent on each side. For example, the Main Office in Figure 1 can be configured for RS-
232 operation, while the serial port at the remote site can be configured for RS-485.
Example Applications
•Point to point serial interfaces (RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485)
•Point to point wireless Ethernet communication devices
•Remote Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) networks
Applications Where Transparent Mode Not Used
•Multiple Remote Locations
•PLC Emulation Networks (see PLC Emulation below)
•Connections to large Ethernet traffic networks such as large office buildings or plant networks

Revised: 10 Oct 2017 3-3 ESTeem Models 195MHC
Transparent Multipoint Application
The ESTeem 195M, 195H and 195C can be configured multipoint transparent operation (Figure 3). Similar to point to point
applications, the 195M/H/C can support multiple serial data interfaces (RS-232, RS-422, RS-485 or Ethernet) on either end of
the wireless link. These wireless links are independent of each other and configurable.
Example Applications
•Point to multipoint serial networks (RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485)
•Point to multipoint wireless Ethernet communication devices
Applications Where Transparent Mode Not Used
•PLC Emulation Networks (see PLC Emulation below)
•Simple network connections (see transparent point to point)

EXAMPLE APPLICATIONS
Revised: 10 Oct 2017 3-4 ESTeem Models 195MHC
PLC Emulation Applications
The ESTeem 195M, 195H and 195C can support PLC based networks in both point to point and multipoint applications. The PLC
emulation driver allows the ESTeem to identify the destination address in the PLC message block and change the ESTeem
destination address to match. This PLC emulation allows the ESTeem 195M/H/C to support multiple repeaters in a network
(Figure 4). If repeaters are used with PLC emulation, the route and append table will also need configured (see Chapter 4 for
complete details).

•Rockwell Automation/Allen-Bradley DF1 Half-Duplex
•Rockwell Automation/Allen-Bradley DF1 Radio Modem

Programming Examples
Once the mode of operation for the ESTeem has been determined, you
are now ready to program the Model 195C, 195M or 195H for use.
ESTeem has created a simplified programming utility call the 195
Narrow Band Configuration Tool. This configuration utility is a
component of the Discovery Suite and will be used in all the following
programming examples.
Finding ESTeem 195M/H/C with Discovery
Each of the example applications will use the 195 Narrowband Configuration Utility to
program the ESTeem 195M/H/C. The modem can also be programmed by changing
individual software commands any serial interface (RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485) or
Telnet to the Ethernet port. Please refer to Appendix-A (Software Commands) for a
complete list of software commands and instructions on configuration.
1. Verify the basic hardware configuration from Chapter 2 and open the 195
Narrowband Configuration Utility (Figure 5). Press the Discover EST Modems button to continue.
2. The ESTeem 195M/H/C will be displayed (Figure 5). If the ESTeem 195M/H/C is not on the same IP subnet as the computer,
double click on the IP address and Netmask to make the necessary changes. Press the Apply Changes button when
complete.
3. If changes were made to the IP address you will need to press the Discover EST Modems button again to show the changes.
Right-mouse click on the ESTeem 195M/H/C and select Configure Radio button to begin programming.
Technical Tip: The 195 Narrowband Configuration
Tool communicates with the 195M/H/C through the
Ethernet interface. If Ethernet or RS-422 (Shared
ports with the Ethernet programming port) are the
data interface for the wireless link, configure the
195M/H/C as shown below first. Once configured
and reset change to the correct data cable.
Technical Tip: If your computer is
configured for DHCP and not
attached to the network, you will
need to assign a static IP address to
program the 195M/H/C.

The 195 Series Narrow Band Configuration Tool provides a graphical interface to the software commands for the ESTeem
195M/H/C. The Configuration tab is the default when the Configure Radio (Figure 6) button is pressed in the Discovery Program.
All the basic configuration parameters can be entered in this window (Figure 7). Most basic information such as the current
frequency of operation, address and port configuration will be read from the 195M/H/C and displayed.
Main Office Configuration
1. The current address will be set to the last octet of
the IP address. The Main Office address will be set to
180. This should be entered from the discovery utility
but verify and continue.
2. Set the operating frequency to 456.500 MHz.
3. Set the destination address to the last octet in
Remote Site address (181).
4. Set the data interface to the RS-232 DATA port (Port
3).
5. Set the operating mode to Transparent.
Once all the above software commands are adjusted to
their correct parameters, press the Write Config button
to send the changes to the 195C, 195M or 195H. The
modem will reset and be ready for operation on the
selected serial port.
Remote Site Configuration
1. Set remote site address to 181.
2. Set the operating frequency to 456.500 MHz.
3. Set the destination address to the last octet in Main
Office address (180).
4. Set the data interface to the RS-232 DATA port (Port
3).
5. Set the operating mode to Transparent.
Once all the above software commands are adjusted to their correct parameters, press the Write Config button to send the
changes to the 195C, 195M or 195H. The modem will reset and be ready for operation on the selected serial port.
Technical Tip: The unit address of the ESTeem 195C,
195M or 195H is the last octet of the IP address. This
single address is used when configuring the destination
and routing. Example –Main Address IP =
172.16.10.180. Unit address = 180.

Repeater Site Address –172.16.10.200
The addition of a repeater to a point to point link is as simple as including the repeater address in the destination (Figure 9).
The following are configuration page examples for each site in the network.
Main Office Configuration
1. The current address will be set to the
last octet of the IP address. The Main
Office address will be set to 180. This
should be entered from the discovery
utility but verify and continue.
2. Set the operating frequency to 456.500
MHz.
3. Set the destination to the Remote Site
address including the repeater (200,181).
The 195M/H/C RF link will follow the exact
path as written in this field. For example,
the data will first be sent to address 200
and then repeated to address (181).
4. Set the data interface to the RS-232
DATA port (Port 3).
5. Set the operating mode to Transparent.
Once all the above software commands
are adjusted to their correct parameters,
press the Write Config button to send the
changes to the 195C, 195M or 195H. The
modem will reset and be ready for
operation on the selected serial port.
Complete the configuration for the remote site and repeater as shown in Figures 10 and 11.
Technical Tip: The unit address of the ESTeem 195C,
195M or 195H is the last octet of the IP address. This
single address is used when configuring the destination
and routing. Example –Main Address IP =
172.16.10.180. Unit address = 180.

The following are examples of the configuration pages need for point to multipoint
operation. The only difference from a point to point application is that a special global
Destination Address (Address = 255) is used. Checking the “Global” button on the
Destination will all remote locations receive the data simultaneously and pass through
the configured serial data interface.
Manufacturing Facility Configuration
1. The current address will be set to the
last octet of the IP address. The Main
Office address will be set to 180. This
should be entered from the discovery
utility but verify and continue.
2. Set the operating frequency to
456.500 MHz.
3. Click the Global check box (Figure 12)
and the Destination address will be set to
255
4. Set the data interface to the RS-485
DATA port (Port 1).
5. Set the operating mode to
Transparent.
Once all the above software commands
are adjusted to their correct parameters,
press the Write Config button to send
the changes to the 195C, 195M or 195H.
The modem will reset and be ready for
operation on the selected serial port.
The configuration for the remote sites in the network
will be very similar with only the address being
different for each wireless modem. Complete the
configuration for the remote sites as shown in Figure
13.
Technical Tip: The unit address of the ESTeem 195C,
195M or 195H is the last octet of the IP address. This
single address is used when configuring the destination
and routing. Example –Main Address IP =
172.16.10.180. Unit address = 180.
Technical Tip: To send to
multiple remote locations at
once use a global Setconnect
address of 255.
