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:
-
-
-
-
-
* 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
STARModem™ is connected to the Host only through the RS232 interface.

STARModem™ Reference Manual provided on the installation CD-ROM.

INSTALLATION
STARModem™ can be installed to operate in different positions by means of two
mounting brackets and an adjustable antenna.
The four screw holes (M4 x 5) on the body of the modem are for mechanical fixture.
See "Antenna", "Mounting Brackets" and "Overall Dimensions" at the end of this
Quick Reference Manual for more details.
SYSTEM CONNECTIONS
CAUTION
STARModem™ can be connected to the Host through the dedicated 9-pin female
connector, or by means of an adapter and the Datalogic standard cable
corresponding to the desired interface. In addition, a power supply must be
connected to the power jack provided on the same connector.
See "STARModem™ Cable Pinout" at the end of this Quick Reference Manual for
more details.

STARModem™ INITIAL SETUP
For a correct STARModem™ configuration keep in mind the following guidelines.
When using the modem for the first time, set the desired
STARModem™ address via RS232 serial interface, since its factory
NOTE
For Stand Alone configurations
set all parameters via RS232 interface using either the DL Sm@rtSet software
program or sending configuration strings to STARModem™. Then, set the correct
hardware jumper position as indicated in the table given in "STARModem™ Setup
For Stand Alone Mode" (see also the figure below).
For changing any configuration parameter in Wedge/Pen Emulation interface
connections, send the new configuration commands via radio using Datalogic RF
devices. Otherwise, set the jumper in the RS232 position (RS232 communication
parameters are set to default values) to send the configuration strings to
STARModem™ via serial interface and set the jumper back in the Wedge/Pen
Emulation position to enable this kind of connection.

STARModem™ configuration can be performed in three ways: by using the DL
Sm@rtSet software configuration program, by sending configuration strings from the
Host via the RS232 interface or by reading configuration barcodes with a Datalogic
RF device and sending the commands to STARModem™ via radio.
DL Sm@rtSet
DL Sm@rtSet is available on the STARModem™ CD-ROM and can be installed on
your PC.
DL Sm@rtSet is a Windows-based utility program providing a quick and user-friendly
configuration method via the RS232 interface.
It also allows upgrading the software of the connected device (see the DL Sm@rtSet
User's Manual for more details).
Configuration Strings
STARModem™ initial setup must be performed via serial interface by sending the
configuration strings to the modem using any terminal emulation program, for
example Hyper Terminal.
Ensure that your PC COM port is set as follows:
9600 baud, no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, handshaking disabled.

STARModem™
STARModem™ - DESCRIZIONE E USO
Il modem radio STARModem™ è stato sviluppato per fornire una comunicazione
via radio a 433 MHz (modelli europei) / 910 MHz (modelli USA) tra un apparecchio
seriale (es. Host PC) e prodotti radio Datalogic come lettori, terminali portatili e
stazioni base:
-
-
-
-
-
* non compatibili con i modelli USA di STARModem™.
STARModem™ può essere utilizzato in due diverse modalità: Stand Alone e
STAR-System™.
In modalità Stand Alone, STARModem™ può comunicare in modo unidirezionale
ricevendo dati (Server) oppure
Funzionando come Server, gli apparecchi Datalogic attualmente compatibili sono i
lettori radio, un altro STARModem™ oppure i terminali portatili che supportano il
software STAR&Play™. In questo caso è possibile utilizzare tutti i tipi di interfaccia
standard (RS232, Pen, Wedge).
Funzionando come Client, STARModem™ può comunicare con un altro
STARModem™ oppure con un cradle OM Datalogic utilizzando solamente
l’interfaccia seriale RS232.
In modalità Stand Alone, il sistema implementa un protocollo radio RF Narrow Band
diverso da quello di STAR-System™.
In modalità STAR-System™, STARModem™, collegato all’Host via seriale,
fornisce esclusivamente una comunicazione radio bi-direzionale
apparecchi radio.
Per ulteriori dettagli sulle opzioni relative alla configurazione del modem vedi lo
"STARModem™ Reference Manual" disponibile sul CD-ROM di installazione.

INSTALLAZIONE
Grazie a due staffe di montaggio ed ad un antenna orientabile lo STARModem™
può operare in diverse posizioni.
I quattro fori presenti sul corpo del modem garantiscono il fissaggio meccanico.
Vedi le sezioni "Antenna", "Mounting Brackets" e "Overall Dimensions" alla fine di
questa Guida Rapida per ulteriori dettagli.
SISTEMA RADIO - COLLEGAMENTO
Effettuate i collegamenti quando gli apparecchi non sono
alimentati.
ATTENZIONE
STARModem™ può essere collegato ad un Host attraverso il connettore 9 poli
femmina oppure utilizzando un adattatore ed i cavi standard Datalogic corrispondenti
all'interfaccia desiderata. Inoltre, un alimentatore deve essere collegato al jack di
alimentazione fornito sullo stesso connettore a 9 poli.
