Repeater Peers
- The Peer Table will display all connected 195Egs configured to repeat to this ESTeem by their Wireless (WLAN)
MAC address.
Received Signal Strength
– This is the first of the two numbers listed in the block. This signal strength value is listed in dBm.
Last RX
– This is the time of the last received data packet. When monitoring the status menu, it is important to note the time the
last transmission was updated so you are not looking at “stale” data.
Current Data Rate
– This is the current speed the last data packet received by the Model 195Eg. This may not be the data rate
between the radio modems. Note that the speed is listed in kbps, so that 11000 kbps is equal to 11 Mbps.
Note: The ESTeem Model 195Eg uses spread spectrum technology that analyzes each data packet for signal strength and data
quality (strength vs. noise). The higher your signal, the mare background noise you can sustain without causing degradation in
the data transfer. This is also true for lower signal strengths with a very low background noise. These values are provided for
guidance and if you have any questions about the values in your application, please contact ESTeem Customer Support at 509-
735-9092 or e-mail your application to [e-mail].
Modem ID
– This is Modem ID for the opposite repeater peer.
Viewing RF Data Rates
The value shown on the Peer Status Screen for data rate may not be the actual rate of the RF link. To view the link information,
click on the Opposite Modems WLAN MAC address in the Repeater Peer list (Figure 2) and further link status information will be
displayed (Figure 3).
Once loaded, click on View Peer Rate Control Information
