Possible Cause

Corrective Action

OSDP misconfiguration,  
not configured for OSDP,  
secure channel mismatch

Confirm panel is configured for 
OSDP. Confirm panel and reader are 
both configured for Secure Channel 
(or both unencrypted.) Confirm PD 
address and speed.

Incorrect cabling

Verify gauge, connections and 
cabling length

Not enough power

12 VDC recommended

Incorrect credential used

Verify if credential technology  
is supported

Reader/access panel not 
properly grounded

Earth ground needed—verify shield 
and reader ground are tied at access 
panel and connect to ground at  
one point

Supply generating  
interference

Linear power supply recommended, 
verify switching power supply  
before use

Should any of the corrective actions mentioned above not improve 
performance, disconnect the reader from the access panel and power 
it with a separate power supply or 9VDC battery, and re-test card 
functionality, with an OSDP panel simulator if necessary. By powering 
the readers separately, most variables that may lead to reduced 
performance can be eliminated. OSDP issues often require a packet 
trace, which the installer or panel vendor should be prepared to 
provide if there are problems. Should the problem persist, please 
contact Farpointe directly.
