Overview
The ESTeem Edge 900 is a wireless modem (radio) operating in the unlicensed 900 MHz ISM band (902-928 MHz). The radio
can be configured to provide both Ethernet and serial data transparent to the connected device. The configuration of the Edge
900 is very simple in that there are only two modes of configuration as either the Master Bridge or Slave Bridge.
ESTeem Discovery Utility
The ESTeem Discovery Utility will allow you to configure the IP address on the Edge 900 radio to match your network regardless
of its current IP subnet. The Discovery Utility will also allow access to the Edge 900 Configuration Utility for programming and
troubleshooting the wireless network.
Installation
The Discovery Utility 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 Edge 900 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.
2. Once both the above programs have been installed, save the ESTDiscover.exe file to any location on your computer such
as the Desktop. Double click the ESTeem.exe program and Figure 1 will be displayed.
3. Connect the Edge 900 modem 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 Modems button.
