EST P/N AA107D
ETHERSTATION STATUS PROGRAM
When configured for EtherStation mode, the Web Configuration Manger is turned off. To gather information from the 195Ed on
Access Point, link status and received signal strength you will need to install the ESTeem 195E Status Utility. The EtherStation
Status Utility version 2.0.0.0 or greater provides a new feature where it will automatically program the connected ESTeem 195Ed
to match up with the computer running the software. This software requires that the ESTeem 195Ed has software version
302.8.102 or greater installed for this feature to function.
This software program is found on the AA109 Resources Disk or available from the ESTeem web site. To install the utility, please
complete the following:
Installation
The ESTeem Discovery Utility will allow you to configure the IP address on the Model 195Ed to match your network. Install the
Discovery Utility on your computer by inserting the Resource Disk in your CD drive.
Note: The ESTeem Resource Disk is stand-alone copy of the ESTeem Web site (Figure 1). Navigation of the Resource Disk is as
simple as using your web browser. All technical documentation, User’s Manuals and the ESTeem Utility Program is available on
the disk.
1.
Place the ESTeem Utility CD in your CD-ROM drive. The CD will auto load the ESTeem main page
Note: If the page does not auto load, open your web browser and set your address line to D:\index.html (Where D: is the
drive letter for your CD-ROM drive).
2.
From the Main Page select ESTeem Utilities and click on EtherStation Status Utility
Note: This program is saved in a compressed file format. Microsoft Windows XP® will open the file directly, but other
operating systems will require a common compression program such as WinZip available for download at
http://www.winzip.com
3.
Double click on the 195EStatusSetup.exe file listed in the window to install the program.
4.
Connect the Model 195Ed to your computer either direct
to the Ethernet card or through a HUB/Switch using a
CAT-5e Ethernet cable. The Ethernet port on the 195Ed
supports Auto-Negotiation so either a patch cable or
crossover cable will work. Open the ESTeem Status
Program and a status icons will appear in your system tray
(Figure 9). When the status menu is opened from the
system tray, the status window will be displayed (Figure 7)
to show the Access Point MAC address and signal
strength. The tray icon and Signal Strength bar will
display the colors from Green, Yellow to Red on
progressively poorer signal or will show Grey if roaming.
Note: This Utility will only operate with an ESTeem Model 195Ed in EtherStation mode.
