Data Security is Critical

iSTAR eX combines AES encryption with the strict guidelines set forth by US government regulations to provide a highly secure solution. AES specifies a FIPS 140-2 approved cryptographic algorithm that can be used to protect electronic data. iSTAR eX communicates with OCURE 800/8000 and OCURE 9000 using 256-bit FIPS 140-2 validated AES encryption making it the first security system in the industry to satisfy this rigorous requirement from the federal government.

Secure communication is provided using RSA Data Security's RC4 technology implemented using Microsoft® CryptoAPI. Multi-key authentication for real-time communication and password authentication for use with the local diagnostic configuration utility provide a barrier against intrusion into iSTAR Pro controllers.

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.

Easily Upgradeable

All iSTAR controllers feature the ability to flash new functionality directly from the host, ensuring that you always have the very latest technology.

Choose an iSTAR architecture that makes sense for your application

Providing a security solution that is unsurpassed in the industry for its versatility and security, iSTAR Pro and iSTAR eX controllers can be used together in the same system. This provides an enterprise solution that recognizes that even the largest corporations have smaller branches and facilities that may need to use the same security standards without enormous overhead.

iSTAR and apC controllers can operate together with a OCURE 800/8000 or C»CURE 9000 host on the same network. Although they cannot communicate directly to each other, event linking can easily be configured through the host.

*Altemate master takes over if master panel fails

**Alternate communication path takes over if primary communication path fails

Note: iSTAR Pro and iSTAR eX controllers cannot exist together in the same cluster. Also, iSTAR eX does not support a dial-up modem currently as a primary or alternate communication path.
