STAR ★ GATE™

If using a shielded cable, it is necessary to link the cable shields together (see

Figure 12) and connect them to the earth ground in only one point.

We suggest to use your PC ground (when provided) to make the connection to the

earth ground.

Network Termination

WARNING

Before proceeding with this operation ensure that the base station

is not powered.

The RS485 bus must be properly terminated by positioning a jumper in the

RS232/485 converter (see the relevant manual) and in the last STARGATE™ on the

network. To position the jumper proceed as follows:

1. remove the STARGATE™ antenna by unscrewing it (counter-clockwise);

2. unscrew the four cover screws on the STARGATE™ base;

3. detach the base from the upper part of the station;

4. position the jumper as shown below:
