Programming 

 

The /195M (TNB) system uses the same ESTeem Narrowband Configuration Utility  for configuration and 
monitoring as the ESTeem Model 195M by itself. 

 

The ESTeem Narrowband Configuration Utility (a component of the ESTeem Discovery Suite) will allow easy access 
to the configuration, monitoring and diagnostics for the /195M (TNB) system. 
 

Installation  

 
The Discovery Suite can be downloaded from the ESTeem web site 
(

http://www.esteem.com

) or is available on the Software Resource media that 

was shipped with the radios. 
 
1.

 

The Discovery Utility is a Java™ based application compatible with any 

computer operating system (Window, Linux, etc). The application requires 
two (2) additional support files to operate: 

 

Java 

 Downloadable from 

http://www.java.com

. The version required will be based upon your operating system. 

Note: The installation and updates from Java may try and install additional web browser toolbars.  Uncheck the 
optional installation if they are not desired.  
 

WinPcap

 

 Downloadable from 

http://www.winpcap.org/

.  The version required will be based upon your 

operating system.

Once both the above programs have been installed, save the ESTeem.exe file to any location on your 
computer such as the Desktop.  Double click the ESTeem.exe program and Figure 2 will be displayed. 

 
3.

 

Connect the /195M (TNB) system to your computer either directly to the Ethernet card or through a 
Switch using a CAT-5e Ethernet cable.  The Ethernet port supports Auto-Negotiation, so either a patch cable 
or crossover cable will work.  Press the 

Discover EST Radios

 button.  This discovery utility and imbedded 

ESTeem Narrowband Configuration Utility will be used throughout the remainder of the User’s Manual.

 

 
4.

 

The ESTeem 195M will be displayed (Figure 5).  If the ESTeem is not on the same IP subnet as the computer, 
double click on the IP, Netmask or Gateway and make the necessary changes.  Press the 

Apply Changes

 

button when complete. 

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  (TNB) 
system.
