EST P/N AA107A
ETHERSTATION STATUS PROGRAM
When configured for EtherStation mode, the Web Configuration Manger is turned off. To gather information from the
195Ea 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 that will automatically program the
connected ESTeem 195Ea to match up with the computer running the software. For this feature to function, this
software requires the ESTeem 195Ea to have software version 302.8.102 or greater installed.
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 195Ea 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 a stand-alone copy of the ESTeem Web site (Figure 1). Navigation of the
Resource Disk is as si
mple as using your web browser. All technical documentation, User’s Manuals and
the ESTeem Utility Program are 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 195Ea to your computer either directly to the Ethernet card or through a Switch using a CAT-5e
Ethernet cable. The Ethernet port on the 195Ea supports Auto-Negotiation so either a patch cable or crossover
cable will work. Open the ESTeem Status
Program. Status icons will appear in your system
tray (Figure 8). When the status menu is opened
from the system tray, the status window will be
displayed (Figure 8) 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 195Ea in EtherStation mode.
