USING STAR
Modem™
STARModem™ is a radio modem developed to provide wireless
433 MHz (European models) / 910 MHz (USA models) RF communication between
any serial device (Host) and Datalogic RF devices or base stations, such as:
-
Gryphon™ M Readers
-
Dragon™ M Laser Scanners
-
STARModem™ Radio Modems
-
Formula Basic Line RF Terminals (F734-E/RF, F725-E/RF, F660-E/RF)*
-
STARGATE™ Base Stations
* not compatible with STARModem™ USA models.
STARModem™ can be used in two different modes: Stand Alone mode and
STAR-System™ mode.
In Stand Alone mode, STARModem™ can be setup in uni-directional
communication to either receive (Server) data via radio from Datalogic RF devices, or
transmit (Client) data via radio to Datalogic RF devices. When working as Server,
currently supported devices are RF hand-held readers, another STARModem™ or
RF terminals loading STAR&Play™ software. All the multistandard interface
selections are valid (RS232, Wedge, Pen Emulation).
When working as Client, currently supported devices are another STARModem™
or a Datalogic OM-cradle. The only valid interface selection in RS232.
In Stand Alone mode, the system implements a different RF Narrow Band radio
protocol than STAR-System™.
In STAR-System™ mode, STARModem™ uniquely provides a wireless
bi-directional
communication between the Host and the RF devices.
STARModem™ is connected to the Host only through the RS232 interface.
For more details about the modem configuration options refer to the
STARModem™ Reference Manual provided on the installation CD-ROM.
