Page 10: Introduction
1 INTRODUCTION DESCRIPTION OF STARGATE™ STARGATE™ is a radio base station that enables a wireless network allowing data transmission between several Datalogic RF devices and an host system (standard PC, Windows based): STARGATE™ is the core component of the Datalogic STAR-System™, the system providing a modern and flexible RF Narrow Band... - Page 11 STAR-Link™ software for Windows not compatible with STARGATE™ USA model STARGATE™ does not carry out continuous polling, but it is enabled each time an RF device sends it a sequence of data. This means the radio channel is always free when RF devices are not transmitting.

Page 15: Wall Mounting
Before performing the following operation, mount the fixing plate on the STARGATE™ bottom surface by means of the four screws. Then, slide the wall mounting base along the fixing plate and fix it through the set - screw. Do not screw it too tight in order to allow the wall mounting base to slide out. - Page 16 Insert the threaded dowels into the holes; Position the plate on the wall and affix it by means of the two screws; Insert STARGATE™ (as shown in Figure 3) by sliding the fixing plate along the guide on the mounting base;...

Page 17: Connections
If the required coverage area is supplied by a single STARGATE™ and the distance between the PC and STARGATE™ is < 15 m, it is possible to connect it to a PC through an RS232 interface (default connection). The hardware system is composed by a PC, one STARGATE™, a serial cable, a power supply connected to the base... -

9-pin connector (female) RS485 CONNECTION USING F904/N Several STARGATE™ base stations can be chained together in an RS485 network or a single STARGATE™ having a distance > 15 m from the PC can be connected. (first) base station RS232/485 converter set to the following default parameter values (see the F904/N relevant manual for details): −... - Page 19 The cables, converter and power supplies are listed with their order number: 94A054000 2 m serial cable 94ACC4470 F904/N RS232/RS485 converter C. 94ACC4050 power supply 110 V (USA) 94ACC4060 power supply 240 V (UK) 94ACC4070 power supply 220 V (EURO) 94ACC4500 power supply 240 V (Australia) D.
- Page 20 CONNECTIONS To configure the STARGATE™ base station use the cable and the adapter listed in par. 3.1. For further details see par. 4.3. CAUTION The RS485 bus system and the eventual power are propagated from one base station to another through a cable having the following minimum characteristics: −...
- Page 21 If connecting up to 16 STARGATE™ base stations in the same system, it is necessary to use a custom cable having two different pinouts depending on the network configuration. If each STARGATE™ present in the system is individually powered, the custom cable pinout is the following: Figure 10 - Powering Each STARGATE™...
- Page 22 WARNING The RS485 bus must be properly terminated by positioning a jumper in the RS232/485 converter (see the relevant manual) and in the last STARGATE™ on the network. To position the jumper proceed as follows: If working with a STARGATE™ USA model, skip step 1 and step 6, since the antenna is fixed and not removable.

STARGATE™ or a network of several RF base stations. An RF device is logically linked to only one STARGATE™ RF base station at a time. In case of a network layout it can choose dynamically the best base station to be linked to allowing the handover from one cell to another. - Page 26 CONFIGURING AND TESTING STAR-System™ If the system has been started correctly (invoking the proper STAR-Link™ ActiveX method) and the network initialization has been completed, the registration of the RF device in the network and the first data transaction occur at the same time. Then, the RF device will send information to the host PC identifying the RF device type and the RF library version.
- Page 27 NOTE Figure 15 - Separate STAR-System(s)™ with Overlapping Coverage Areas The same care must be taken if a STARGATE™ RF base station(s) and the RF devices are placed near one or more point-to-point cordless systems. Neither the RF devices nor the point-to-point and STARGATE™ RF base stations must share the same address: Figure 16 - STAR-System™...

Page 35: Notes For The Programmer
NOTES FOR THE PROGRAMMER STARGATE™ does not carry out continuous polling, but it is only enabled each time an RF device sends it a sequence of data. This means the radio channel is always free when the RF devices are not transmitting. - Page 36 CONFIGURING AND TESTING STAR-System™ Both the transactions (1 way and 2 way) must have an acknowledgement back to be completed correctly. This assures that the application program always knows if the data packet has been correctly delivered or not. In case the RF device does not receive the acknowledgement packet, the transaction fails due to timeout.
