Mobile Client Mode Example (Figure 5)
EtherStation, Station Router and Station Masquerade Modes
(3) ESTeem Model 195Ea
Serial Numbers:
E-14000 (EtherStation)
E-14001 (Station Router)
E-14002 (Station Masquerade)
Setting the ESTeem for Mobile Client (station) mode with the ENC Utility is different than
the Bridge/Router or Access Point (AP) modes. ESTeem modems configured in as a
Mobile Client will not link with a specific fixed modem; but will roam between any 802.11
Access Point with the correct Network Name (SSID) and Encryption. The ESTeem
configured as a client is also not set on a specific operating frequency (channel) but will
scan all channels looking for the AP. Use the following procedure to configure an
ESTeem 195Ea in one of the three mobile client modes:
1. Starting a new network of ESTeem 195Eas in
Mobile Client mode is the same as any of the
Bridge modes except when you are asked for the
frequency (channel) of operation, select “Station”
(Figure 23).
2. Add the three mobile client modems to the ENC
Utility configuration page as instructed above and
set the Modem ID to match the three modes of
operation. Your configuration will appear as in
Figure 24.
EtherStation
3. By default, the ENC Utility sets all station mode ESTeem
modems to EtherStation mode. The only adjustment
necessary to the EtherStation modem in our example is to
enter the connected Ethernet device’s MAC address. The
ESTeem 195Ea will “clone” the Ethernet MAC address of the
connected Ethernet device. To configure the EtherStation
modem, double-click on the icon to bring up the ESTeem
Summary window and press the Edit button (Figure 20).
4. EtherStation mode should be selected in the Mode of
Operation. Press the Next button at the bottom of the
window to continue. Enter the connected Ethernet device’s
MAC address in the “Device MAC Address” box (Figure 25)
and press the Next button at the bottom of the window to
continue.

Technical Tip: The ESTeem 195Eas in Mobile
Client modes do not have a specific frequency
of operation as can be seen in Figure 24.
