TESTING COMMUNICATION LINK
After you have configured at least two of the Model 195Ea wireless Ethernet modems for operation, you can verify communication
with each the following steps:
Status Light
The quickest source of link status is to view the Status Light
on the face of the 195Ea (Figure 1). If the Status light is
solid, the Model 195Ea has a connection to another Model
195Ea listed in the Peer Table.
Status Screen/Peer Table
To view detailed information on the status of the
communication link (such as connection speed, signal
strength and last update time) you can open the Status Screen from the Web Interface. After press the Status tab at the top of the
screen the Status: Summary will be displayed showing the status of all ports and memory in the 195Ea. Under the Wireless Status
heading click on the View Peer Table (Figure 2). The Peer Table will list all other wireless activity seen by the 195Ea and how it is
classified.
Note: The data rate displayed is not necessarily indicative of the RF data rate between the ESTeems. The rate show in the
Repeater Peer table will be the last RF packet, which could consist of either data, repeater beacon or network probes.
