1. ESTeem Training Class ESTeem Serial Programming

2. Simple Programming Factory Defaults – Restores all commands in modem to factory defaults – FA Save – Saves all programming in none volatile memory – SAve Address – Defines a unique address to the ESTeem Modem – ADDress – Octal Address ‘XXX

3. Simple Programming Help Commands – Displays the status of any command programmed in the modem – HElp HELP switches are: ALL CHANGE CONTROL PLC RADIO RS-232 SETUP SYSTEM

4. Simple Programming General Programming – Each line can be listed individually by not defining a specific command ADD – Will List the Modems Address Only – Command can be stringed together with a colon ADD 10:SA – Will change modem address to 10 and save to nonvolatile memory Maximum of eight commands

5. Simple Programming Command Error Messages – Modem will display typed error messages Full listing in manual System Status Messages – Will display the status of the RF connection Full listing in the manual Communication Error Messages – The error messages will display any error in RF communication Full listing in manual

6. Simple Programming Connect – Establishes a virtual connection between modems – T/E Light will go solid – Serial data can now be passed between ESTeem modems – CONNect

7. Simple Programming Disconnect – Breaks the virtual link between ESTeem modems – T/E will go out – Modem will return to the command mode (CMD:) – DISConnect – F6 automatically disconnects

8. Advanced Programming All the following commands need to be followed by Auto Transmit – Will allow the ESTeem to transmit without a specific packet length or sendpack character – Only method of packet sending without a defined protocol – TERMC [ON/OFF] Termcontrol timer on/off – TERMT [1-65535] (Milliseconds) Defines the amount of time in the above timer Fastest resolution is 10 ms

9. Advanced Programming Auto Connect – This command defines the destination address for the ESTeem to perform a connect using the Auto Connect feature – SETCon (r1,r2,r3,da) r = repeater address da = destination address – Switch 2 on RS-232=ON (RS-232 Setup) – T/E light will flash at 2 times a second until a connection is made and after a connection is broken

10. Advanced Programming Digi-Repeating – Allow any ESTeem modem in the system to store and forward data for another station – Maximum of 3 repeaters in any repeater string – Any remote site can be a repeater Global – ADD 255 Connect or SETC command – This command will instruct modem to send a global message to any modem that can receive the signal – No acknowledge

11. Advanced Programming MULTID programming – This command will allow the ESTeem user to send data to another ESTeem from the CONVERSE mode by specifying the routing address before the data – Using delimiters the data can be sent to a specific station (i.e... [010]data send data to 10) – MULTID [ON/OFF] This command starts the multid function and will now respond to the delimiters

12. Advanced Programming Remote Programming – Allows the user to program or interrogate any modem in an ESTeem network – PROG xxx xxx=address of destination repeaters can be used Any command can be changed or interrogated from any remote in the system – The remote ESTeem will send back an RPG: prompt that functions as a command prompt would locally – REMPROG [ON/OFF] Will disable remote programming

13. Advanced Programming Software Security – This command will lock out any programming in the ESTeem without the security code – SECURITY [XXXXXXX] The XXXXXXX is a number from 0 to 65,535 Command can not be overwritten Packet Monitor – This command starts the packet monitor program in the ESTeem – PACKM [ON/OFF] See User’s Manual for details

14. Advanced Programming Received Signal Strength – This command will display a digital value of the received signal strength in micro-volts Used by ESTeem Utility for measuring signal strength – Modem must have this function installed at factory – Calibrated at Squelch = 0, Asquelch = 100 – RXS [ON/OFF] The ESTeem will print digital values of the following 0,3,10,20,35,50,75,100,200,400uV Levels The modem will always print the lowest value

15. Modes Of Operation-Basic Command Mode – All ESTeem programming commands are entered in this mode – Modem will default to this mode upon startup – ctrlC (Factory Default) will place you in this mode Can be adjusted to any ASCII character COMMAND [0-255] – Defined in factory default by the CMD: prompt

16. Modes Of Operation-Basic Converse Mode – This mode allows bi-directional communication between serial devices – This mode is automatically entered after the first connect is made – The converse mode is denoted by an asterisks [*] – To enter the converse mode from the command mode: CONVerse

17. Transparent Modes Transparent Mode Commands This mode allows the ESTeem modem to appear transparent between two or more serial devices Commands Unique to this mode – TRANSparent [ON/OFF] – Uses Termc and Termt Commands – Only Hardware Flow Control (RTS&CTS) Used

18. Transparent Modes Transparent Autoconnect – Communication between two modems SETC command sets address of remote station Messages are acknowledged Transparent Autoconnect Global – Communication from one ESTeem to multiple ESTeems SETC address to 255 Messages are not acknowledged

19. ESTeem Training Class PLC Repeater Routing

20. PLC Applications Request PLC Engineering Report Unique Commands – PLC Master – Repeater Routing – Grouping PLC Master – PLC_MAST ON/OFF – Instructs ESTeem to read destination address

21. Repeater Routing Command Route r#,r1,r2,r3 – First is route number in memory – Second number (r1) is first repeater in route – 3rd and 4th number (r2,r3) following repeaters in route (if necessary) Route – Will list all routes

22. Repeater Routing Command Append (m#,r#,a1,a2,*) – Appends addresses to the repeater routes – m# = the append address memory location – r# = route that the addresses will use – a1/a2 = address block using route number – * = If there is an asterisk in the last block, the address are a group Example = Append 1,1,10,20 – Addresses 10-20 use route 1 in append #1

23. Example Model 192 Routing Command List – Route 1,5,11 – Route 2,5 – Route 3,1 – Route 4,3 – Append 1,1,17,17 – Append 2,2,11,11 – Append 3,3,7,8 – Append 4,4,9,9 Master 20 1 3 5 2 4 6 7 8 911 17

24. Grouping Allows Multiple PLCs Attached To One ESTeem Changes Append Command – Asterisk after append – Append 1,1,20,30,* ESTeem Address Always Lowest in Group If No Repeaters Use Route Not Used

25. Using ESTeem Utility ESTeem Programming Menu – Selected Repeaters Needed Add Repeater Addresses Add Addresses That Use The Repeater Routes Program Calculates Routes and Groups Added to Command List for Modem Download
