3.2.2 OM-DRAGON™ Master Layout
A. Host
B. OM-DRAGON™ Master cradle
C. OM-DRAGON™ Slave cradles
D. STARGATE™ base station
Example Multidrop STAR-System™ Network with OM-DRAGON™ as Master
In this layout an OM-DRAGON™ cradle acts as the Master. The Host is connected to
the OM-DRAGON™ Master using any one of the multi-standard interfaces (RS232,
WEDGE, or PEN Emulation). The Master is then connected to the slaves in the RS485
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.
2.6.3).
See pars. 4.5 and 4.6 or the Sm@rtSet Help On-Line for system configuration
specifications.
