CHAPTER 4
REPEATING FEATURES
Revised: 15 Feb 2017 4-1 ESTeem Models 195MHC
Any ESTeem Model 195M, 195H or 195C in the wireless
network can be used as a repeater to reach a remote
location. Manually entering repeater routes in a terminal
for testing a connection (connect command) or remote
programming (program command) is as simple as adding
the routing in the address with the repeaters identified by
commas. For example, using Figure 1, if your computer is
connected to the ESTeem 195M/H/C at the Master Station
and you want to connect to address 21, y our command
would be “connect 3,21”. Also if you wished to connect to
address 30 from the Master Station your command would
be “connect 3,20,40,30”.
Configuring Route and Append Tables
When using the PLC emulation modes, the repeater
configuration will be different for the Master and Remote
locations in a network. You will need to configure the
repeater routing table for the Master ESTeem only. The
Master ESTeem is the ESTeem connected to the PLC that
is initiating communication to remote PLC’s through other
remote stations. Do not program the repeater configuration in the repeating ESTeems or the remote ESTeems.
Figure 1 shows a complex, 16 node site with four (4) repeater routes. This example will
illustrate the terms used in the utility and how they correspond to the stations in your
site.
Look in Figure 1 and note that four of the ESTeems will relay the radio signal for other
ESTeems (addresses 3, 5, 20 and 40). These are the repeater routes. A total of four
repeater routes will need to be completed for this site.
Route 1: To complete the first
repeater route entry, refer to Figure 1
and find repeater address 5 (Route
1). The ESTeem/PLC addresses that
use this route are addresses 25 ‐ 28. In
the 195M/H/C Configuration Utility
select the Route/Append tab and
press the Edit Tables button (Figure 2
will be displayed). In Route Entry 01 enter the repeater address (Address 5). Scroll
down the page and find Append Entry 01 and enter the Repeater Route and
address group and will use this repeater site (Figure 3).
Technical Tip : A repeater route
consists of any ESTeem in the
network that repeats information to
another modem.

Technical Tip : The maximum number of
memory locations for any ESTeem is 32.
When possible, try and group as many
addresses together as you can to save
available memory locations.
