Page 51: How The Terminals Fit Into Your Network
C o d e 39 Nugget Operating the Terminals in a Network This chapter explains how the terminals fit into a data collection network and what parameters to configure for your serial or RF network. How the Terminals Fit Into Your Network The Trakker Antares 2410 and 2415 terminals are versatile hand-held terminals that you can easily add to your network or distributed data collection system.
Page 52 C o d e 39 Nugget Trakker Antares 241X Hand-Held Terminal User’s Manual You can also use the serial port to connect to a 900 MHz RF network via the 9189 RF Gateway. The terminal communicates with the 900 MHz RF network using Polling Mode D protocol.
Page 53 C o d e 39 Nugget Operating the Terminals in a Network In a UDP Plus network, 2415s communicate with a host computer through the DCS 300. The DCS 300 translates UDP Plus packets on the RF network into TCP/IP packets on the wired network and vice versa.
Page 54 C o d e 39 Nugget Trakker Antares 241X Hand-Held Terminal User’s Manual In a TCP/IP network, 2415s communicate with a host computer directly using TCP/IP for the RF protocol. The access point acts as a bridge between the wired network and the RF network.
Page 55 C o d e 39 Nugget Operating the Terminals in a Network You can install 2415s and access points in one subnetwork and install the DCS 300 or host in another subnetwork. If the 2415s are communicating across a subnetwork, you must configure additional network parameters (subnet mask and default router).
Page 56 C o d e 39 Nugget Trakker Antares 241X Hand-Held Terminal User’s Manual In a UDP Plus network, you can install 2415s, access points, and DCS 300 as shown in the next illustration. All the terminals and access points in this illustration communicate with the DCS 300 at IP address 192.9.175.7.
Page 57 C o d e 39 Nugget Operating the Terminals in a Network In a TCP/IP network, you can install the 2415s and access points as shown in the illustration below. All the terminals and access points in this illustration communicate with the host at IP address 192.9.175.7.
Page 58: Connecting The Terminal To A Wired Network
C o d e 39 Nugget Trakker Antares 241X Hand-Held Terminal User’s Manual Connecting the Terminal to a Wired Network The terminals have a serial port (COM1) that lets them transfer data to and receive data from another device via RS-232 serial communications. If you insert the terminal into a communications dock, you can transmit data to and receive data from a host computer or PC via RS-232 serial communications.
Page 59: Binary Protocol
C o d e 39 Nugget Operating the Terminals in a Network Binary Protocol Binary protocol has no protocol. Characters are sent and received without being altered. The Data Link Escape character (DLE) is not inserted before any character. DLE characters are not stripped out of the incoming data stream and no protocol characters, such as EOM or SOM, are added.
Page 60: Master Polling Protocol
C o d e 39 Nugget Trakker Antares 241X Hand-Held Terminal User’s Manual Master Polling Protocol Master Polling Mode D protocol requires the terminal to ask the downline serial device for data it may have (polling) and to request to send data to the serial device (selecting).
