Ensure Reliable Communication with Clusters

iSTAR Pro controllers support Ethernet and RS-232 communication topologies and contain a PCMCIA slot for additional types of communications. Communication is peer-to-peer, meaning that the controllers communicate with one another without the need for host intervention. A single connection from the host supports multiple controllers through a TCP/IP subnet.
Clusters are user-defined groups of up to 16 controllers and can be created to enhance security by separating a widely dispersed facility into different controlled areas. A cluster is led by a master controller which manages the primary communication between the host computer and the rest of the controllers within the cluster. The master controller communicates all event and cardholder data between the cluster and the C•CURE host. The other controllers in the cluster or “members” communicate through the master to the other controllers in the cluster to link events and control anti-passback in the area secured by this cluster of controllers. To ensure constant security, clusters also feature a secondary communication path in the event the master controller loses communication with the network.

Local and Global Anti-Passback Provides Effective Systemwide 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.

Keypad Commands Provide the Ultimate in Control

iSTAR Pro 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.

Extended Card Formats Enhance Security

iSTAR Pro supports extended card formats of up to 256 bits, providing the utmost in flexibility when configuring custom card formats. iSTAR Pro 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 government formats are stored in the iSTAR locally allowing iSTAR to make the access decision even when the controller 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, iSTAR Pro allows administrators to assign up to five 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 Pro can support up to 128 card formats systemwide and ten card formats per reader. 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 Pro includes both built-in web diagnostics pages and a local LCD to test and troubleshoot hardware components such as inputs, outputs, reader ports, last card read, PCMCIA cards, and battery state. 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

Data Security is Critical

All diagnostic tools use password authentication to provide a barrier against intrusion. Additionally, all iSTAR controllers address the needs of businesses to protect critical security data. With instant database backup and restore capabilities, iSTAR controllers provide a highly reliable security solution and ensure that important data is protected, even during communications failure.
