To help understand the various communication control possibilities among the
different communication modes, we will analyze the communication control
parameter settings for the following 4 cases:

1) STAR Modem™ in Stand Alone Mode acting as Server (like an OM-cradle)

2) STAR Modem™ in Stand Alone Mode acting as Client (like an RF device)

3) STAR Modem™ in STAR-System™ Mode

4) STAR Modem™ in Stand Alone Mode acting as Server (for an intelligent printer)

Case 1 – STAR Modem™ in Stand Alone Mode as Server (like an OM-cradle)

Figure 1 – Stand Alone Mode with STAR Modem™ Server

STAR Modem™ is in Stand Alone Mode as a dedicated

Server

receiving (like an

OM-cradle). The ACK/NACK Protocol parameter can be set to assure correct
communication between STAR Modem™ and the local Host.

Assuming the RF devices are setup for 2 way transmission we can analyze the
following ACK/NACK protocol selections:

RF devices -

Transmission Mode = 2 ways

The Host must respond to a 2 way transmission

•

If Modem -

ACK/NACK = disabled

there is no control of the communication between STAR Modem™ and the
Local Host. STAR Modem™ answers the RF device which initiated the 2 way
transaction with DATA received from the Local Host.
