GI/Jerrold headend equipment

I'm looking for software, hardware and documentation relating to the equipment below, or any other General Instrument or Jerrold cable headend or terminal equipment (especially if used in the UK). If you have any, please email me: philpem@gmail.com.

  • ANIC: PC interface card which connects a PC to the biphase data network.
  • ANIC-A: Addressable Network Interface Controller. Connects an ACC-4000 to the biphase data network. Used to control scramblers and other headend equipment.
  • STARfone: Telephone-based IPPV system, where the STB communicates with the headend using a telephone line.
  • STARVUE: Also known as “two-way”. RF-based IPPV system, where the STB communicates with the headend using the Cable TV network.
