EXAMPLE CONFIGURATIONS
Revised: 30 Jun 08 5-3 EST P/N AA107D
Example 1 – Plant Network (Access Point Router with Repeater Enabled)
The ESTeem Model 195Ed configured as an Access Point Router will provide a separation between the larger Plant network and
the Ethernet devices connected on the wireless network. This mode of operation is most often used when connecting the wireless
system to a larger network to eliminate the Network broadcast traffic from entering the wireless system. If Ethernet devices on the
Plant network want to access Ethenet devices on the wireless network, a network router is required to resolve the IP conflict created
by having the wired and wireless networks on separate subnets.
1. Access the ESTeem Web page using your computer’s Web Browser as per instructions in Chapter 4. Select Setup from the
menu items. From the Select Mode of Operation pull down box , select AP Router (Figure 4) and push the Next button
below the pull down box.
