OVERVIEW This guide describes quick start connection information for the iSTAR Pro, including:
how to wire readers to RM ports and to “direct connect” Wiegand ports.
how to wire supervised inputs and dry contact relay outputs.
System Components The iSTAR Pro hardware components consist of:
General Controller Module (GCM) – A general purpose board running Windows
CE. The GCM has two PCMCIA slots for an internal modem, and a second network
interface card or a compact flash card. There is an LCD panel to display the current
status and to use when running built in diagnostics. There is a panel of batteries to
retain the data memory in the event of a power failure.
The iSTAR Pro GCM can interface with one or two ACM modules.
Access Control Modules (ACM) – A special purpose access control board that
communicates with the GCM and provides inputs, outputs, and readers. An iSTAR
Pro can contain up to two ACMs that interface with Wiegand signaling and ABA
(magnetic) signaling devices.
Optional 12 VDC@ 5A Power Supply.

POWER This section describes the power requirements for the iSTAR Pro.
AC Power The iSTAR Pro input power rating is 100 - 240 VAC, 2.3A max, 47-63 Hz. The system
current draw is 2.3A @100VAC or 1.1A max @240VAC, 47-63Hz.
To connect AC power:
1. Route the conduit for the wiring from AC main power to the knockout closest to the
power supply in the enclosure.
2. Place a ferrite core on the AC power cable, inside the enclosure. Use the hot wire
(brown/black) and neutral wire (white/blue) to wrap the ferrite with three wire turns.
3. Connect the Hot wire (either Black or Brown) to the L connector next to the power
supply. Connect the Neutral wire (either White or Blue) to the N connector. Connect
the Ground (Green or Green/Yellow) to the G connector.
NOTE If the unit does not have a power supply, route the +12 VDC from an external
power supply to the GCM and the ACMs.
The external power supply must be a UL Listed Access Control (or Burglar
Alarm), power-limited, Class 2, power source.

Batteries Use NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride) batteries - AA size. Minimum 1800 milli-amp
hours.
Caution: Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of
used batteries according to the instructions.
iSTAR Pro batteries are packaged separately and should be installed in the battery
backup sockets at the bottom of the GCM.
The unit is stored and shipped with the batteries disconnected so they will not be
drained while in storage. Connect the batteries as shown in the GCM diagram that
follows. If the batteries are installed with the power off, the reset switch (S5) must be
pressed after power is applied.
It is acceptable to install the batteries with the power on. However, if the batteries are
installed with the power on, you do not need to press the reset switch.
NOTE The batteries provide power to retain the volatile memory (clearances, activity,
etc.) data in the event of a power failure. The batteries do not supply enough
power for iSTAR Pro normal operations.

Network Connection Connect a CAT 5 RJ45 cable to J4. If the other end of the cable is connected to a hub or
switch, it must be straight through. If it is connected directly to a NIC card on the server,
it must be a crossover.
LED2 indicates the Ethernet Link signal and LED1 displays the Receive Data signal.
NOTE This document applies to both C•CURE® 800 and C•CURE® 9000 iSTAR Pro
controllers, unless noted otherwise. Version 1.0 of C•CURE 9000 does not
support multiple controller clusters, serial ports, or RAS connections.

Dialup Connection 1. Connect P6 to the iSTAR modem as shown in Table 2.
2. Connect the host modem to a COM Port.
3. Set the COM Port to 57,600 baud, 8, None, 1, Hardware Flow Control.
4. Configure the RAS login information using ICU.exe
5. Configure the C•CURE 800 Server to accept RAS connections.
6. Configure the controller and cluster using ICU and the C•CURE 800.
Serial Connection 1. Connect P6 to the Server COM Port as shown in Table 3.
2. Set the COM Port to 57,600 baud, 8, None, 1, Hardware Flow Control.
3. Configure the RAS login information using ICU.exe
4. Configure the C•CURE 800 Server to accept RAS connections.
5. Configure the controller and cluster using ICU and the C•CURE 800.

Diagnostic Session A diagnostic session can be run either through ICU or with a terminal session through
P5. Turn on the diagnostic information settings using either ICU or the HTML
connection to the iSTAR.
Note that the diagnostic information causes overhead and should not be left on during
normal operation.
1. Connect P5 to a COM port on a PC.
Use a straight through DB9F to DB9F cable.
2. Set the COM port to 115,200 baud, 8, None, 1, Hardware Flow Control
3. Start a terminal session using an emulator such as HyperTerminal.
LEDs LED4 – indicates power and shines through an opening in the door.
LED2 – displays the Ethernet Link signal on P6.
LED1 – displays the Receive Data signal on P6.
Dip Switches DIP Switch S2 is factory set for RS232 on P6. Do not change.
DIP Switch S1 is factory set for RS232 on P6. Do not change.
DIP Switch S4 is used to control diagnostics, clear memory and to display card reads in
hexadecimal. See the iSTAR Pro door map for more detailed information about running
diagnostics.
To display hexadecimal card reads on the LCD Panel set switch 4-8 on.
The Reset Switch, S5, will cause the GCM computer to reboot. Pressing S5 will also
clear memory, including configured readers, inputs and outputs. As long as there is a
connection to the host these objects will be immediately downloaded again to the
memory.
If switch S4-2 is on when S5 is pressed, the unit will be reset to factory default. This
means that all of the connection data, such as the IP address will be cleared in addition
to the memory. In this case the unit will have to be totally configured again using
ICU.exe.
To clear memory and reboot the unit:
1. Set switch 4-2 ON.
2. Press and release switch S5; wait 10 seconds.
3. Set switch 4-2 to OFF
4. Press switch S5 and observe the LCD panel. The unit will reboot, the memory will
be cleared and the unit will need to be completely re-configured.

LCD Panel The LCD panel will display various status information, such as the connection status to
the host, and various diagnostic functions.
If the LCD panel is difficult to read, adjust the contrast using the potentiometer at the
upper right section of the GCM.
MAC Address When configuring an iSTAR Controller, it is necessary to supply the MAC address of
the NIC card that is connected.
The MAC address for the on-board 10BaseT NIC is displayed on a sticker just left of
the Power LED.
If a PCMCIA NIC card is used, the MAC address will be provided by the manufacturer.

MODULE(S)
The ACM (Access Control Module) provides the Readers, Inputs and Outputs that are
used in access control. An iSTAR Pro can contain either one or two ACMs.
Figure 5 shows the components, switches, and LEDs described in this guide.

RM4 Readers Either Wiegand signaling or Magnetic signaling read heads are connected to RM-4s or
RM-4Es. The RM-4 or RM-4E readers are interfaced using STAR1 through STAR8.
Pin 1 for each connector is shown in the preceding diagram. It is important that the ports
are wired as follows:
