iSTAR Rack Mount supports Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to
simplify and expedite installation. For easy setup, this device also supports
Domain Name Services (DNS), Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS), and
Fully Qualified Domain Naming (FQDN), thus providing a comprehensive
approach to network management.
A front panel LCD displays real-time system diagnostics and optional raw card
reads for quick troubleshooting. LED status lights indicate power, fire alarm,
fan failure, and high temperature. With external diagnostics and status lights,
integrators and IT staff can view and handle system duress without having to
open the enclosure. These security features significantly reduce the risk of
system downtime and, with remote web diagnostics, you can find and fix
performance issues remotely from anywhere in your facility.
Each unit has front and rear tamper switches to ensure that the controller is not
accessed by unauthorized personnel. Security risks are significantly reduced
with encrypted communications, protection against network intrusion, dual
network paths, and optional dial-up secondary communications. iSTAR Pro
Rack Mount is a highly secure network device trusted by IT organizations.
The unit supports RM readers and RM-4, 4E modules only - no direct Wiegand
heads.
