SAFETY ADVISES AFETY ULES DEVIEC IN CLASS II WITH FUNCTIONAL EARTH Always connect to a grounded socket. To guarantee continuous protection for operator safety, only use the mains adapter supplied with the device. To guarantee continuous protection for operator safety, make sure that the mains plug is always connected to the power source.
ARNINGS CAUTION: Many of the components used in this device are sensitive to electrostatic charge. In case of manipulation of the connection cables, disconnect the power supply and avoid direct contacts with the connector terminals. When handling electronic components, to eliminate any static electricity touch a grounded surface.
Introduction StarVoice is a family of ADSL and SHDSL products developed to provide an integrated wide band voice and data device. StarVoice stems from Aethra long-standing experience with ISDN devices and terminations. It guarantees quick simple installation and high-compatibility level with any type of telephones, fax machines, PBXs, modems, etc.

Models StarVoice is available with different configurations to provide the ideal solution to the most diverse requirements. SV10xy models are based on ADSL technology. They deliver up to 4 analogue ports and 4 ISDN BRI ports. SV20xy models are based on SHDSL technology. They deliver up to 4 analogue ports and 4 ISDN BRI ports.
For wall installation (minimum height from the ground is 20 cm) drill two 6mm-diameter holes on the wall as shown in Fig. 3-1. Insert the dowels in the holes, tighten the screws and hook StarVoice on the slots. Figure 3-1: Drilling template...
Connections Connections are available on StarVoice back panel. They depend on the model and contract with the service provider. StarVoice has the following connections: ⇒ power supply (see 3.3.1); ⇒ console interface (see 3.3.2); ⇒ analogue telephone system (see 3.3.3);...
3.3.2 Console interface Connect your PC serial port to the Console interface with the cable supplied with StarVoice to access local configuration, diagnostics and firmware upgrade. You can also connect the backup unit serial cable to receive alarms and information on the PBU operation status.
R DY PW R 3.3.4 ISDN devices or BUS S system ISDN devices (if placed near StarVoice) or BUS-S system (if the position of ISDN terminals requires this type of installation) are connected with RJ-45 connectors (marked as ISDN). Figure 3-3: ISDN ports...
You can connect your LAN to StarVoice with the RJ-45 interface marked as “LAN” using braid cables ending with RJ–45 plugs. StarVoice allows you to connect your PC with a straight cable. If you connect a hub without a cross dedicated port, use a suitable cable (cross).
Figure 3-4: Line Interface Description StarVoice is a DSL technology-based device designed for small and medium-size offices for simultaneous voice and data transportation over a single telephone pair. The functionalities of analogue and ISDN ports are obtained thanks to the Broadband Loop Emulation Service (BLES) mode describes in the ATM forum “AF-VMOA-0145.000”...

Line rate for ADSL and SHDSL technology is defined upon service subscription and determined by the public exchange modem configuration (DSLAM) when establishing the connection. During start-up StarVoice negotiates the maximum permitted rate with the public exchange modem. 4.4.2 ADSL interface The ADSL network interface complies with the ITU-T G.992.1 (g.dmt) standard.
ELCP (Emulated Loop Control Protocol). 4.4.6 ATM Virtual Circuit Connections StarVoice uses one VCC for voice traffic transportation and up to 10 VCC’s for data traffic transportation. The voice traffic transportation VCC is configured with VPI/VCI value. The service class can be: ⇒...
Every profile contains one or more entries and every entry indicates a specific coding law in addition to voice packet length. StarVoice can be configured with one of the following profiles for every VCC assigned to voice transportation: Pag. 20...
CLIP upon Call Wait, CNIP and MWI services. StarVoice is completely transparent to the aforementioned signaling. Data interfaces StarVoice delivers one Ethernet 10BaseT (LAN0) standard interface and optionally one 10/100 BaseT (LAN1) additional interface. 4.6.1 Transportation protocols Every ATM VCC used for data transportation can be configured with one of the following protocols: ⇒...
4.6.3 MAC Bridging StarVoice can be configured to operate as bridge at MAC level. Up to 4 logic bridges (bridge groups) between LAN or WAN (ATM VCC’s) interfaces can be configured. The Spanning Tree algorithm can be programmed for every bridge group.
These services are used to make LAN configuration easier and faster. If the DHCP service is enabled, LAN hosts can be configured with the TCP/IP information supplied by StarVoice (IP address and host name, IP address of DSN and WINS servers, default gateway).
⇒ upgrade the firmware. StarVoice manages an internal file system to save configuration and event traces. Information can be accessed via CLI. 4.7.2 Remote management StarVoice provides remote configuration using a dedicated ATM VC. The traffic generated on the VC is interpreted as IP traffic encapsulated according to RFC1483.
If no PC with LAN board is available, you can use the Console port and StarManager (software included in the installation CD), as illustrated in 6; If a PC with LAN board is available, you can connect it to StarVoice LAN port and carry out the WEB browser configuration, as illustrated 5.1.3.
5.1.2 Preliminary operations for internal WEB server use Connect a PC with LAN interface to one of StarVoice Ethernet ports. In the “Properties” option of the local network connection set TCP/IP parameters as illustrated below according for the different Microsoft operating systems:...
5.1.3 Internal WEB server configuration with Quick Start By using the DHCP services for the automatic configuration of network parameters in the LAN PC’s, you can open the browser and enter the local IP address assigned to StarVoice (10.0.0.1 by default).
