Testing Communication Link
After you have configured at least two of the Model 195Es wireless Ethernet modems for operation, you can verify
communication with each the following steps:
Status Light – The quickest source of link status is to
view the Status Light on the face of the 195Es. If the
Status light is solid on the remote 195Es, the Model
195Es has a connection to the Timing Master Model
195Es listed in the Peer Table. The Timing Master will
have the status light illuminated at all times.
Status Screen/Peer Table – To view further
information on the status of the communication link
(signal strength and last update time) you can open the
Status Screen from the Web Interface. After press the
Status tab at the top of the screen the Status: Summary will be displayed showing the status of all ports and memory in the 195Es.
Under the Wireless Status heading click on the View Peer Table (Figure 5). The Peer Table will list all 195Es in client mode
connected to this modem and how it is classified.
Find the opposite 195Es in the Repeater Peers list and information such as signal strength (in dBm) and time/speed of last data
packet will be displayed.
