StarServe
TM
Pro
StarServe Pro is supplied with a cabinet that can be surface
or flush mounted, similar to an electrical distribution board.
The system distributes data and telephone services via 8-
pin RJ45 modular sockets, in a ‘soft-patch’ configuration, where
the user can change a wall socket’s function by ‘re-patching’.
These soft-patch changes take place at the StarServe Pro
enclosure. To change a telephone outlet to a computer data
outlet, the user would unplug the patch lead from the tel-
ephone harmonica and simply plug it into the data hub (op-
tional), assuming the telephone handset has been discon-
nected from the wall socket.
To enable this flexibility, all telephone and data outlets need
to be terminated in the same way (Refer to the Voice & Data
Section).
Every modular socket on each of the wall plates can be
patched as either a data socket or a telephone socket, or
used for other applications suitable for twisted pair cable.
All outlets are Star Wired back to the StarServe Pro enclosure
and terminated individually on to the 8-pin RJ45 modular
sockets. The sockets are in panels of eight outlets, known
as harmonicas.
The StarServe Pro has provision for two additional harmonicas
of each type.
The StarServe Pro system incorporates the same VDU as
the StarServe Video system and has space for an
additional VDU. As the VDU incorporates an infra-red
engine, all the StarServe infra-red accessories can also be
used with the StarServe Pro system.
There are two types of
harmonicas supplied with the
StarServe Pro.
• Eight Way Harmonica,
which provides eight
individual RJ45 sockets.
• Eight Way Harmonica,
which provides two banks
of four RJ45 Sockets
(common connections).
Within the StarServe Pro cabinet, a 16 module wide DIN rail
is provided for use with Clipsal C-Bus DIN units such as a
C-Bus PCI (Personal Computer Interface), a CNI (C-Bus
Network Interface) or future C-Bus devices.
The additional grid allows up to two, five port switched hubs
to be mounted in the StarServe enclosure.
There are four, 240V power sockets available within the cabinet
for connecting power packs.
StarServe Pro has a greater capacity for expansion than the
Lite or Video systems. Telephone, data and video distribution
is combined, with the capacity to add C-Bus DIN rail mounted
devices, such as a C-Bus Network Interface device.
