On the Atlantis DHDs, the center button is the Engage button just like the SG-1 DHDs.

In Atlantis they have a shuttlecraft that fit throught the stargate and have a DHD built into the control panel.




Stargate It looks like the Atlantis base DHD, but the engage button is seperate, and they use the middle button as a glyph sometimes.






The DHD only has 36 glyphs.

This is also true for the inner ring of the gate.







Stargate Stargate





















The reason for this is that the ring doesn't spin like the Milky Way ring,
so the glyph panels have to line up with all 9 chevrons.

36/9=4.

The 8th and 9th chevrons light up at the same time as the 7th chevron when the wormhole activates, unless they're dialing Earth or some other 8-chevron address.

Each symbol is a constillation, drawn as dots and lines as you can see below on the Atlantis Stargate
