1. Introduction

This article explains how you can implement the NEDAP NVITE reader based on OSDP communication and describes the functions and settings.

The NVITE reader can be used with multiple identification technologies for variety of users, such as staff, tenants and visitors. Identification is depending on the userenabled technologies: presenting a card, scanning a barcode or activating a smartphone credential. Typical applications are access control to car parks, perimeter gates, office buildings and warehouses.

Other cards or custom keys on request.

3. What is OSDP

Open Supervised Device Protocol (OSDP) is an access control communications standard developed by the Security Industry Association (SIA) to improve interoperability among access control and security products.

...

Info

OSDP readers are only supported by stacked Orions (RS485 connection)

5. Implementation

5.1 General

OSDP readers are completely handled by the nodemanager, so the nodemanager should run to obtain access by a OSDP card reader.

The readermanager is not involved by handling the OSDP protocol

5.2.1 Configure the reader in iProtect

Follow the steps below to configure an OSDP reader:

...

The discover function for OSDP devices checks for the following settings:
Baudrate:                    9600, 19K2, 115K2  baud,  They are all non-parity, 8 bit, 1 stop bit
Device address:          0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 13, 14, 24

If other settings are necessary, set these settings manually.

5.2.2 NVITE OSDP defaults

OSDP address

0

Communication speed

9600 baud

Port setting

N81

5.3 OSDP reader settings

For OSDP readers there are some specific settings.

...

Info

Most used setting for buzzer time = 2

6. Secure channel

OSDP v2 with Secure Channel has AES-128 encryption to ensure that communication between the targeted devices is strict and secure.

...

Note

Once a key is set into the reader it cannot be cleared or rewritten by the system (not allowed in the OSDP protocol, security risk). If the key must be cleared (Reset) follow the procedure what is delivered by the reader manufacturer.

7. Settings card coding
