OVERVIEW
NOTE
General Control
Module
The iSTAR Ultra SE can be configured as an iSTAR Pro (in Pro Mode) or as an
iSTAR Ultra (in Ultra Mode for use with C•CURE 9000). The configuration is
based upon the GCM S1-4 switch setting.
The iSTAR Ultra SE in Pro Mode is supported by C•CURE 9000 and C•CURE 800/8000. Refer to
the iSTAR Pro Controller software configuration information when using the C•CURE 9000 or the
C•CURE 800/8000.
Pro Mode does not support the optional RC4 network encryption setting in either C•CURE 800 or
C•CURE 9000 systems. Check the Message Encryption system variable to ensure RC4 is not being
used.
The iSTAR Ultra SE in Ultra Mode is only supported on C•CURE 9000 v2.50 and higher. Refer
to the iSTAR Ultra Controller software configuration information when using the C•CURE 9000.
The iSTAR Ultra SE in Ultra Mode has a reduced feature set when compared to the iSTAR Ultra.
There are 16 Inputs instead of 24 and 8 Relays instead of 16, per ACM and no embedded lock
power management.
The iSTAR Ultra consists of the following hardware components:
General Controller Module (GCM)
Access Control Module (ACM) - 2 maximum
or IP-ACM Ethernet Door Modules (supported in Ultra Mode only) - 32
maximum (IP-ACM installation and configuration is not included in this
document, see the IP-ACM Ethernet Door Module Quick Start Guide)
The GCM is a General Purpose Module running the Linux
The GCM provides the following features:
Two network Gigabit Ethernet ports.
An LCD panel that displays the current status, and provides built-in
diagnostics.

Page 32: Important Safety Information
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION CAUTION: Changes to the iSTAR Ultra SE not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void your authority to operate the equipment. LIFE SAFETY REQUIREMENT: A fail-safe mechanism override must be installed at each card reader exit to allow people to leave the secure area in case of electromechanical device failure.

Questions and answers
I need to connect a push button on the ACM or the inputs module
To connect a push button to the ACM or inputs module of the Software House iSTAR Ultra SE, follow these steps:
1. Identify the Input Terminals: Locate the input terminals on the Access Control Module (ACM). The ACM provides multiple inputs for access control devices.
2. Determine the Wiring Type: Push buttons are typically wired as Normally Open (NO) or Normally Closed (NC) contacts. Verify the wiring configuration required for your system.
3. Connect the Wires:
- Connect one terminal of the push button to the designated input terminal on the ACM.
- Connect the other terminal of the push button to the common ground (GND) of the ACM.
4. Configure the Input in Software: In the system software, configure the assigned input to recognize the push button action (e.g., door release or alarm reset).
5. Test the Connection: Press the push button and verify that the ACM registers the input correctly.
Ensure proper wiring and configuration for the desired functionality.
