  1. ESTeem Serial Programming

  2. Simple 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

  3. Simple 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

  4. Simple 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

  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<Enter>

  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<Enter> • F6 automatically disconnects

  8. Advanced 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

  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<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

  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<CR>

  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. 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. 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 Example Model 192 Routing 9 11 17 5 3 4 20 2 Master 6 7 1 8

  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
