D. STARGATE™ base station
Example Multidrop STAR-System™ Network with BC-8060 as Master
In this layout an BC-8060 cradle acts as the Master. The Host is connected to the
BC-8060 Master using any one of the multi-standard interfaces (RS-232, USB,
WEDGE, or PEN Emulation). The Master is then connected to the slaves in the RS-485
network. In this way the slave cradles provide communications between a single Host
and all
readers in the system. STARGATE™ base stations can also be used as slaves
in this network. The devices at the ends of the network must be terminated (see par.
2.8.3).
See pars. 4.6 and 4.7 or the Datalogic Aladdin™ Help On-Line for system
configuration specifications.
