  • Page 23: Config Programming Examples

    The following programming example demonstrates how to create a config that enables the card reader to use the OSDP communication protocol. Log in to the Protege Config App, using your app account. Select your Credential Profile. Add a new Reader Configuration called OSDP Output Mode.

  • Page 24: Config Example: Osdp Install Mode

    Config Example: Reader Address For protocols which support reader addressing, the address of a reader can be programmed via TLV configuration. This TLV is only valid for protocols which support addressing (ICT RS485, OSDP or Smart Serial). ⦁ This can be used to configure an RS-485 reader as an entry (0) or exit (1) reader.

  • Page 25: Config Example: Enable Dual Led Mode

    Config Example: Enable Dual LED Mode By default, ICT card readers operate in single LED mode (when wired in Wiegand configuration). To enable dual LED mode you need to change the reader programming. Dual LED mode requires the reader to be wired with both the orange and brown LED control lines connected.
