USING STAR
Modem™ STARModem™ is a radio modem developed to provide wireless  
433 MHz (European models) / 910 MHz (USA model) RF communication between 
any serial device (Host) and Datalogic RF devices or base stations, such as: 
- 
 Gryphon™ M Readers 
- 
 Dragon™ M Laser Scanners 
- 
 STARModem™ Radio Modems 
- 
 Formula Basic Line RF Terminals (F734-E/RF, F725-E/RF, F660-E/RF)* 
- 
 STARGATE™ Base Stations 
*  not compatible with STAR
Modem™ USA model. 
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 (not compatible with STARModem™ 
USA model). 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 communication between the Host and the RF devices. 
STARModem™ is connected to the Host only through the RS232 interface. 
For more details about the modem configuration options refer to the 
STARModem™ Reference Manual provided on the installation CD-ROM.
