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.
