ssESTeem Serial Programming

Simple ProgrammingSimple Programming

• Factory Defaults– Restores all commands in modem to factory defaults– FA<Enter>

• Save – Saves all programming in none volatile memory– SAve<Enter>

• Address– Defines a unique address to the ESTeem Modem– ADDress<Enter>– Octal Address ‘XXX

Simple ProgrammingSimple Programming

• Help Commands– Displays the status of any command programmed in the

modem– HElp<Enter>

• HELP switches are:• ALL• CHANGE• CONTROL• PLC• RADIO• RS-232• SETUP• SYSTEM

Simple ProgrammingSimple Programming

• General Programming– Each line can be listed individually by not defining a

specific command• ADD<Enter>

– Will List the Modems Address Only

– Command can be stringed together with a colon• ADD 10:SA<Enter>

– Will change modem address to 10 and save to nonvolatile memory• Maximum of eight commands

Simple ProgrammingSimple 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

Simple ProgrammingSimple Programming

• Connect– Establishes a virtual connection between modems– T/E Light will go solid– Serial data can now be passed between ESTeem

modems– CONNect<Enter>

Simple ProgrammingSimple Programming

• Disconnect– Breaks the virtual link between ESTeem modems– T/E will go out– Modem will return to the command mode (CMD:)– DISConnect<Enter>– F6 automatically disconnects

Advanced ProgrammingAdvanced Programming

All the following commands need to be followed by <Enter>

• 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

Advanced ProgrammingAdvanced 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

Advanced ProgrammingAdvanced 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

Advanced ProgrammingAdvanced 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

Advanced ProgrammingAdvanced Programming

• Remote Programming– Allows the user to program or interrogate any modem in an

ESTeem network– PROG xxx<Enter>

• 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

Advanced ProgrammingAdvanced 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

Advanced ProgrammingAdvanced 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

Modes Of Operation-BasicModes 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

Modes Of Operation-BasicModes 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<CR>

Transparent ModesTransparent 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

Transparent ModesTransparent 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

ssPLC Repeater Routing

PLC ApplicationsPLC Applications

• Request PLC Engineering Report

• Unique Commands– PLC Master– Repeater Routing– Grouping

• PLC Master– PLC_MAST ON/OFF– Instructs ESTeem to read destination address

Repeater RoutingRepeater 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

Repeater RoutingRepeater 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

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
