INTRODUCTION 1 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 DESCRIPTION OF STARGATE™ STARGATE ™ is a radio base station that enables a w ireless network allow ing data transmission between several Datalogic RF devices and .
STAR H GATE™ 1 Features Benefits • Seamless Active Roaming • Wide area coverage • Up to 2.000 RF devices supported Gryphon™ Mobile series Dragon™ Mobile series Formula 734 RF P.
INTRODUCTION 1 1.2 PACKAGE CONTENTS The STARGAT E™ Radio Base Station package contains: − n. 1 STARGATE™ Radio Base Station; − n. 1 STARGATE™ installation manual; − n. 1 STAR-Link™ installation CD-ROM; − n. 1 antenna (only for European models); − n.
STAR H GATE™ 1 1.4 RESET BUTTON This button deletes all RAM data restor ing the last sav ed configuration. By pressing it for 2.5 seconds the yello w light starts blinking and it goes on by releasing the button. This light signals that STARG ATE™ has entered the firmware downloading mode.
INSTALLATION 2 2 INSTALLATION 2.1 POSITIONING STARGATE™ Before connecting the STARGATE™ base station, it is first necessary to position it so that the RF transmission and reception is possible. To position STARGAT E™, bear in mi nd the follow ing fundamental guidelines: 1.
STAR H GATE™ 2 2.1.2 Wall Mounting Before performing the following operat ion, mount the fi xing plate on the STARGATE™ bottom surface by means of the four screws. T hen, slide the w all mounting base along the fixing plate and fix it through the set - screw.
INSTALLATION 2 For wall mounting, fix the related plate as follow s: Set - screw Mounting holes Fixing plate guide Figure 3 - Wall Mounting Base 1. Using the mounting holes on the plate as a pattern mark the wall where y ou desire to mount STARGATE™; 2.
STAR H GATE™ 8 3 3 CONNECTIONS STARGATE ™ can be connected to the PC through an RS232 or an RS485 line. It is possible to set the base station by s ending the configurat ion of the desired connection through the software running on the PC (see par.

CONNECTIONS 3 CAUTION To configure the STARGATE™ bas e station use the cable and the adapter listed in par. 3.1. For further details see par. 4.3. The RS485 bus system and the eventual power are pro.
STAR H GATE™ 3 If connecting up to 16 STARGATE™ base stat ions in the same system, it is necessary to use a custom cable hav ing two different pinouts depending on the network configuration.
CONNECTIONS 3 If using a shielded cable, it is necessary to link the cable shields together (see Figure 12) and connect them to the earth ground in only one point. We suggest to use your PC ground (w hen pr ovided) to make the connection to the earth ground.
STAR H GATE™ 14 3 3.3 RS485 CONNECTION USING STAR-BOX™ Several STARGATE™ base stations can be chained together in an RS485 network or a single STARGAT E™ having a distance > 15 m from the PC can be connected.
CONNECTIONS 3 Network Termination The RS485 bus must be properly terminated by positioning a jumper in both the last STAR-Box™ device and the first ST AR -Box™ device on the netw ork bus and NOT inside STARGATE™. Refer to the STAR-Box™ relevant m anual to get further information about connections, system w iring and bus termination.
STAR H GATE™ 4 4 CONFIGURING AND TESTING STAR-System™ 4.1 STAR-System™ OVERVIEW Two different layouts are provided depending on the application needs. Each layout may consist of a single 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.
CONFIGURING AND TESTING STAR-System™ 4 If the system has been started correctly (i nvoking the proper STAR-Link™ ActiveX method) and the network initia lization has been completed, t he registration of the RF device in the network and the first data transaction occur at the same time.
STAR H GATE™ 4 NOTE Be careful when installing two s eparate networks having overlapping RF coverage areas. In this case no RF device nor STARGATE™ RF base station must shar e the same address considering the total number of RF devices (see Figure 15).
CONFIGURING AND TESTING STAR-System™ 4 Example If working w ith an installation composed of 4 point-to-point cordless systems (RF device with its base), 4 STARGATE™ RF bas e stations connected to .
STAR H GATE™ 4 4.2 LOADING A SW APPLICATION ONTO AN RF TERMINAL The following procedure is not va lid for STARGATE™ USA model . This example explains how to load the demo software (provided by the ST AR-Link™ CD-ROM) onto an RF terminal: 1.

If the dow nloadin g procedure has completed su ccessfully (after a series of messages about automatic tests have been displayed and several beeps have been emitted), the following message appears: DATALOGIC RF DEMO Any Key to start Or F4 to Set Press F4 and set the following parameters: Addr.
STAR H GATE™ 4 4.3 RS232 LAYOUT This procedure is intended to be a step-by-s tep guide explaining how to configure a STARGATE™ RF Base Station by using t he Visual Basic example provided in the STAR-Link™ CD-ROM and based upon the ST AR-Link ActiveX.
CONFIGURING AND TESTING STAR-System™ 4 10. Set the STARGA TE™ (European models only) new address on the RF terminal (loading a softw are application as described in par. 4.2) as first and last base station to whic h sending the data packets in 1way or 2 w ay mode (see par.
STAR H GATE™ 4 4. Select the Base station s option from the Settings menu: the RF Base stations dialog box appears; 5. Digit 2000 in the Edit box positioned in the right upper part of the dialog box and click on the Ad d button. T he address w ill then be di splayed in the list on the left; 6.
CONFIGURING AND TESTING STAR-System™ 4 19. If the RS485 network is connected thr ough a serial port different from the one previously used to configur e the base stations, select the Control settings option from the Settings menu. The Properties settings dialog box appears allow ing to select a different port.
STAR H GATE™ 4 4.5 NOTES FOR THE PROGRAMMER STARGATE™ does not carry out continuous polling, but it is only enabled each time an RF device sends it a sequenc e of data. This means t he radio channel is always free when the RF devices are not transmitting.
CONFIGURING AND TESTING STAR-System™ 4 Both the transactions (1 way and 2 way) must have an acknowledgement back to be completed correctly. This assures that t he application program al way s knows if the data packet has been correctly delivered or not.
STAR H GATE™ 5 5 TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEMS CA USES REMEDY STARGATE™ is not powered. Supply STARGATE™. The connecting cable is broken or it is not correctly connected. Check the cable is in good condition and connected correctly. During configuration a wrong communication interface has been selected.
