To guarantee continuous protection for operator safety, make sure that the mains plug is always
connected to the power source.
WARNING: for power supply connection use an easily accessible outlet located near the device.
Never remove the mains plug for permanent connection.
Connect the measurement cable of the telephone interface to the device connector and then to
the outdoor telecommunication line to avoid accidental contacts with live parts of the TNV
circuits.
WARNING: Never connect the system to an outdoor telecommunication line during a lightning
storm.
WARNING: When installing the device on the wall, do not fix it so that it can be removed in an
emergency.
The change from cold to hot environments can cause the formation of condensate inside the
device. To avoid malfunctioning, wait at least 1 hour before connecting the device to the supply
mains.
In case of fire, absolutely avoid using water to extinguish it.

Do not access internal parts of the device (and/or of the power supply unit).
If objects or liquids penetrate inside the device, immediately disconnect the power supply cable.
Before using the device again, have it checked by specialized staff.
Refer to qualified staff for service.
In case of intervention, always check that the power supply has been completely and
successfully disconnected.
Pag .5
Warnings
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. If possible, wear a grounding arm band.
Failure to comply with these warnings could cause permanent damage to device.
CLEANING
To clean the device use a soft cloth either dry or moistened with a little detergent. Never use any
type of solvents, such as alcohol or gasoline, to avoid damaging the finish.
CE MARKING

4 Operating connections
4.1 Local network
You can connect up to 4 PC’s or other devices with Ethernet 10BaseT interface to the
Ethernet RJ-45 ports with braid cables ending with RJ–45 connectors.
An external device (hub or switch) is needed to connect more than 4 PC’s to Stargate/-
S.
In this case connect the external device using port No. 4 (see arrow in figure below)
after configuring it for this type of connection (for information on the configuration of
port No. 4 see the LAN configuration chapter in “ATOS – User’s Guide”).
HUB
(not included)
POWER
The following example illustrates how to connect RJ45 connectors to CAT5 cables for
LAN.
Follow the color sequence to obtain correct signal screening and avoid connection
errors. Connectors are seen from the front (wires on the back).
8 – marrone
7 – bianco marrone
6 – verde
5 – bianco blu
4 – blu
3 – bianco verde
2 – arancione
1 – bianco arancione
Wires 1-2 must belong to the same braid; wires 3-6 must belong to a different braid.
Pag .14
4.2 ADSL line
The ADSL connection is made by connecting the line cable provided with the device to
the LINE port and to a telephone socket.
The internal telephone system must be of parallel type (not socket).
In case of a socket telephone system, you must convert it into a parallel system by
inserting ADSL microfilters on ALL sockets with a phone.
If the telephone system is connected to a PABX or device that is especially sensitive to
ADSL signal, ask your ISP to install a POTS splitter. The POTS splitter is inserted at
the beginning of the line to separate the traditional telephone signal from ADSL signal,
thus avoiding mutual interference between the two services.
Pag .15
4.3 Connection to console port
Use the adapter supplied with Stargate/-S to connect a PC or any other system capable
of emulating a ‘start-stop’ terminal:
Pag .16
5 Configuration
5.1 General information
Once you have made the connections illustrated in chapter 4, choose the configuration
mode from the ones illustrated below.
To configure Stargate/-S,
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 one of Stargate/-S
Ethernet ports and carry out the WEB browser configuration as illustrated in 5.2.2.
If you connect Stargate/-S to an existing LAN you probably have to change the address
assigned by default to Stargate/-S (10.0.0.1) to make it compatible with subnet addresses
used in the LAN. In this case, after the initial configuration, continue as illustrated in 5.4
and connect the device to the LAN.
Less expert users can use the Command Line Interface (CLI) configuration through
serial connection and terminal emulation software
3
or Telnet session, as illustrated in
“ATOS User’s Guide”.
5.2 Connection to Internet
For quick connection to Internet with Stargate, get the following information from your
Internet Service Provider and follow the instructions below.
The following information is needed:
⇒
⇒
⇒
VCI and VPI value;
encapsulation type used by ISP: PPPoA (PPP over ATM), PPPoE (PPP over
Ethernet) or RFC1483 (IP over ATM);
User name and Password (in case of PPP encapsulation).

such as Windows HyperTerminal
.
Pag .17
5.2.1 Preliminary operations for the use of the internal WEB server
Connect a PC with LAN interface to one of Stargate/-S Ethernet ports.
In the “Properties” option of the local network connection set the TCP/IP parameters as
illustrated below for the different Microsoft operating sytems:
Windows NT
Windows 98
Windows 2000
Pag .18
5.2.2 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
(10.0.0.1 by default).

the password field empty if you did not
change the password).
After login, select the language in the
vertical frame on the left;
select “Quick Start” to start the guided
procedure and enter ISP parameters.

You must enter at least one alphanumeric value in the user name field. For example, use the operator’s last name for
easier logon identification.
Pag .19
Enter encapsulation type and LLC
SNAP mode and click Next;
different parameters must be entered
based on encapsulation type (PPP,
RFC1483, etc.).
Enter the VPI (Virtual Path Identifier)
and VCI (Virtual Channel Identifier)
parameters for WAN1 (interface
enabled by default). This information
can be found in the contract.
If you select RFC1483 encapsulation
you must enter WAN-side IP address,
netmask and remote IP address
(Provider-side).
If you select PPPoA or PPPoE
encapsulation
you must enter User Name and
Password assigned by the ISP.
