EST P/N AA107A
USING THE RS-232 PROGRAMMING PORT
Any terminal emulation program that can run with VT100 emulation can be used for this configuration of the ESTeem.
Most Windows users will probably use either Hyper Terminal or the Terminal Emulation in the ESTeem Utility program.
Configure your RS-232C port for a Baud Rate to 38,400, Data Bits to 8, Parity to None, Stop Bits to 1 and Handshaking
to None. Set the Emulation type to VT100. Once your ESTeem has an IP address, you can attach the ESTeem to
your network and use the Web Server for further programming.
Programming Using the RS-232 Port
1.
When configuring the Model 195Ea for the first time you can use the ESTeem RS-232C Configuration Menu to
setup the basic operating parameters such as assigning the IP Address, IP Net Mask, and Gateway IP Address.
2.
Connect the serial cable (EST P/N: AA0621.1) between the RS-232 connector (RJ-45) on the Model 195Ea’s
programming port to the serial port on the computer.
3.
Plug the Model AA175 power supply into a wall socket and connect an Ethernet patch cable from the Model 195Ea
Ethernet port to the J1 (Data&PWR) port on the power supply. The Power over Ethernet (POE) LED on the front of
the ESTeem should be illuminated.
4.
If your computer is configured properly, you will see the ESTeem Model 195Ea booting sequence on your Terminal
Emulation program. Once the ESTeem boot sequence is complete (approximately 45 seconds) you will receive this
message:
“Please press Enter to active this console.”
If you don’t see this message press the Reset button on the front panel of the Model 195Ea and/or check the
programming of your RS-232 port.
5.
Press the Enter key and you will be at the Configuration Menu 195Ea login prompt. See Figure 1.
6.
To enter the Model 195Ea Main Menu you will need to log into the system with a login name and password.
7.
If this is not the first time configuration of the Model 195Ea, see your network systems administrator for the
password.
8.
At the 195Ea login prompt type
admin
for the login name and press the
Enter key (<Enter>).
The login name is
defined at the factory and is not
changeable by the user.
Note
that all characters are lower
case.
9.
If this is the first time the Model
195Ea has been programmed or
the Password was not changed
from the factory default values, the
factory default password is also
admin
. Enter
admin
for the
password and press the Enter key
(<Enter>).
The
ESTeem
Configuration Welcome Screen
(Figure 2) will now be displayed.
