1. Power Over Ethernet (POE) or
2. External 3.3 volts power supply.
The STAR must be connected to the LOCAL AREA Network (LAN) which must be

Operation
The STAR communicates with all InTouch Components and is responsible to
communicate information it receives to and from InTouch server. InTouch network can

be tested for before it is determined that the SART fails. In case, a STAR malfunctions it
should be replaced with one in inventory.
