Embedded Lock Power Management

The iSTAR Ultra's ACM offers a unique, straightforward approach to managing the complete lock power needs of an installation. The ACM is designed to distribute power directly to each lock circuit without needing a separate fused distribution board (and the associated interconnect wiring). Each ACM has two separate lock power feeds in addition to controller power. These feeds can be used for different voltages (12 V and 24 V for example) or for battery-backed and non battery-backed power sources to comply with certain local life safety codes.
Each lock output can then be selected to use either a dry contact, lock power 1, or lock power 2, providing tremendous flexibility. In addition, each lock circuit is protected with a PTC resettable fuse and over-voltage surge protection through the extensive use of transzorbs, and includes a socketed relay for quick field replacement. Each lock circuit can be individually selected to unlock or lock based on the dedicated fire alarm input setting, meeting life safety requirements.

Ensure Reliable Communication with Clusters

iSTAR Ultra supports peer-to-peer communications across clusters meaning that the controllers communicate with one another without needing host intervention. Clusters are userdefined groups of up to 16 controllers and can be created to enhance security by separating a widely dispersed facility into different controlled areas. For example, events linking inputs on one controller to outputs on another controller will still be active without the host.

Local and Global Anti-Passback Provides Effective System-Wide Security

Anti-passback prevents cardholders from passing their credentials back to others in order to gain access to secured areas. Global anti-passback is critical for ensuring uncompromised security on a large scale. Building upon cluster based anti-passback as described above, the controllers are able to send an anti-passback violation notice to the C•CURE server. Tailgating, or following another cardholder into a secured area without presenting a separate badge, can easily be flagged within the C•CURE monitoring station.

Rack-Mount Flexibility

iSTAR Ultra is available in a modular rack-mount configuration, reducing the space requirements and costs associated with installing a panel on the wall. Separate GCM and ACM modules can be arranged in the rack to optimize your server room installation. For example, the GCM can be mounted in the front of a four-post rack, while the ACM and field wiring can be located in the rear of the rack. Field wiring on the ACM is easily routed through the top and/or bottom of the enclosure, with the ACM board mounted front and center for convenient servicing.

Keypad Commands Provide the Ultimate in Control

iSTAR Ultra supports custom keypad commands which provide a powerful way to easily activate events in C•CURE. These commands include anything from triggering a duress call and sounding an alarm, to locking and unlocking doors directly from an RM reader keypad. Commands can be configured to require a card presentation and/or a card and PIN to validate the command. Keypad commands can also be used to arm and disarm intrusion zones.

Improves Life Safety

A dedicated input for a fire alarm tie-in automatically locks or unlocks selected door lock outputs in the event of a fire condition. The fire input may be unsupervised or supervised, and the release circuit does not require software programming for operation. In addition, a second input for a manual keyswitch is provided, such that the door lock outputs will not re-lock unless authorized safety personnel confirm the safety of the building via the keyswitch. The keyswitch functionality is enabled via an onboard DIP switch.

Extended Card Formats Enhance Security

iSTAR Ultra supports extended card formats of up to 256 bits, providing the utmost in flexibility when configuring custom card formats. iSTAR Ultra supports the full 200-bit FASC-N format for compliance with the US Government's FIPS 201 initiative, as well as the 128-bit GUID format for PIV-I credentials. These extended cardholder formats are stored locally in iSTAR allowing the controller to make the access decision even when it is offline from the host. Each format supports multiple data fields such as card number, site code, issue code, parity, agency code, system code, plus up to four custom card integer fields. Longer card numbers and formats offer greater protection against card duplication, and are especially valuable to customers who require card numbers that exceed 10 digits.

Cardholder Flexibility

Used with C•CURE 9000, iSTAR Ultra allows administrators to assign up to five active cards per cardholder record rather than having to create a separate record for each card. This simplifies the management and maintenance of personnel records. For additional flexibility, iSTAR Ultra can support up to 128 card formats system-wide and ten card formats per reader, including smart cards. This expanded ability to use multiple card types (such as 26-bit, 37-bit, or Corporate 1000) at a single reader frees customers from having to consolidate or re-issue new cards.

Built-in Diagnostics to Easily Test and Troubleshoot

iSTAR Ultra includes both built-in web diagnostics pages and a local LCD to test and troubleshoot inputs, outputs, reader ports, and last card read. In addition, via the network, you can retrieve real-time status and diagnostics of:
• controller time/boot time
• total/available memory
• connection status
• firmware and OS versions
• hardware (MAC) and IP addresses
• downloaded clearances and cardholders

Fully Integrated and Managed Lock Solution

Utilizing iSTAR Ultra, wireless locks from ASSA ABLOY or Schlage communicate with C•CURE 9000, providing a fully integrated and managed lock solution. Up to 32 ASSA ABLOY Aperio or Schlage AD300, AD400, NDE and LE locksets can be managed by a single iSTAR Ultra. In addition to traditional locksets, the ASSA ABLOY Aperio line also includes cabinet and data center locks, allowing you to extend the breadth of your access control system to non-traditional openings. Each lockset communicates using AES 128-bit encrypted wireless technology to the wireless hub, which is then connected to the iSTAR Ultra with a simple RS-485 communications bus. Each hub can accommodate up to eight Aperio wireless locks or 16 Schlage wireless locks.
All activity and alarms from each wireless device are sent to the iSTAR Ultra and then up to the C•CURE 9000 in real time, guaranteeing a high level of control and visibility of door actions. Besides standard card access transactions, each device also communicates low battery, tamper, and communications status to the system.

Embedded Support for FICAM High Assurance

Used with the Innometriks suite of High Assurance ID Management software, iSTAR Ultra supports PKI-based authentication at the door, including CAK and PAK, card plus PIN, and biometric match in panel. Unique cardholder PKI information and biometric templates are stored and authenticated directly in the iSTAR Ultra, on the secure side of the door, for reliable stand-alone operation. High Assurance PKI-based authentication is required to comply with the U.S. Government's FICAM standards and is ideal for commercial and non-government customers as well.
