Mobile Client Mode Example (Figure 5)
EtherStation, Station Router and Station Masquerade Modes
(3) ESTeem Horizon
Serial Numbers:
E-14000 (EtherStation)
E-14001 (Station Router)
E-14002 (Station Masquerade)
Setting the ESTeem for Mobile Client (station) mode with the ENC Utility is different than
the Bridge/Router or Access Point (AP) modes. ESTeem modems configured in as a
Mobile Client will not link with a specific fixed modem; but will roam between any 802.11
Access Point with the correct Network Name (SSID) and Encryption. The ESTeem
configured as a client is also not set on a specific operating frequency (channel) but will
scan all channels looking for the AP. Use the following procedure to configure an ESTeem
Horizon in one of the three mobile client modes:
1. Starting a new network of ESTeem Horizons in
Mobile Client mode is the same as any of the
Bridge modes except when you are asked for the
frequency (channel) of operation, select “Station”
(Figure 23).
2. Add the three mobile client modems to the ENC
Utility configuration page as instructed above and
set the Modem ID to match the three modes of
operation. Your configuration will appear as in
Figure 24.
EtherStation
3. By default, the ENC Utility sets all station mode ESTeem
modems to EtherStation mode. The only adjustment
necessary to the EtherStation modem in our example is to
enter the connected Ethernet device’s MAC address. The
ESTeem Horizon will “clone” the Ethernet MAC address of
the connected Ethernet device. To configure the
EtherStation modem, double-click on the icon to bring up the
ESTeem Summary window and press the Edit button (Figure
20).
4. EtherStation mode should be selected in the Mode of
Operation. Press the Next button at the bottom of the window
to continue. Enter the connected Ethernet device’s MAC
address in the “Device MAC Address” box (Figure 25) and
press the Next button at the bottom of the window to continue.

Technical Tip
:
The ESTeem Horizon’s in
Mobile Client modes do not have a specific
frequency of operation as can be seen in Figure
24.
