iSTAR Pro 2U RM Rack Mount
Quick Start
Installation Guide
UM-272 Version B0
OVERVIEW
Software House® iSTAR Pro 2U Rack Mount is a standalone, rack-mountable access control and burglar
alarm system unit that houses all the necessary components to control up to 16 doors, and monitor up to 32
alarm inputs.
This guide describes quick installation information for the 2U Rack Mount:
How to wire readers to RM ports.
How to wire supervised input points and dry contact relay outputs.
How to wire Lock Power wire to provided Connector.
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. There is an LCD panel to display the current status and to
use when running diagnostics. The panel of batteries to retain the data memory in
the event of a power failure.
Access Control Modules (ACM) - An access control board that communicates
with the GCM and provides readers, outputs, and inputs. The iSTAR Pro can have
up to two ACMS that control 16 doors and interface with wiegand technology and
ABA (magnetic) signaling devices.
12VDC @ 6.2A Power Supply.

Network Connection – Connect a CAT-5 RJ45 cable to J4. Connect a straight through cable to a Switch
or Hub. If unit is connected directly to the server use a crossover cable.
LED2 indicates the Ethernet link signal and LED1 displays the Receive Data signal.
Batteries – Use NiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride) batteries- AA size. Minimum 2400 milli-amp hours.
Caution: There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced with the wrong type. Dispose of batteries in
according to their instructions.
ISTAR Pro 2U 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. It is acceptable to install the batteries with
the power on. However, if the batteries are installed with the power on, the reset switch does not need to be
pressed.
NOTE:The batteries provide the power to retain the volatile memory data in the panel.

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 Pro 2U.
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 2U Door map for more detailed information about running
diagnostics.
To display hexadecimal cards 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 be downloaded to the memory.
If the 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 S5 and wait 10 seconds.
3. Set switch 4-2 to OFF.
4. Press S5 and watch the LCD panel. The unit will reboot, the memory will be cleared and the unit
will need to be reconfigured.

ACM - ACCESS CONTROL MODULES
The ACM “Access Control Module” connects to the readers, inputs and outputs used in access control. An
iSTAR Pro 2U can have one or two ACMs.

RM4 READERS
Wiegand or Magnetic Signaling read heads are connected to the RM-4s or RM-4Es. The readers are
connected to STAR1 through STAR8 Ports.
