Open Supervised Device Protocol
OSDP allows connecting control panels with various peripheral devices (card
readers, control panels, and other security management systems) while
unlocking the potential of the onboard computing resources within the
system.
Each panel can connect to up to two readers via OSDP.
Any device that is connected to the AC-825IP panel via RS-485 must have a
unique serial address.

Client-Server Structure
AxTraxNG operates through a dedicated AxTraxNG server computer, which
communicates with the access control panels and their expansions to serve an
unlimited number of network clients.
The server also runs the system's SQL database, which contains settings and
definitions for access control across the entire facility. System users can define
new users and credentials, and control access permissions. The system includes
tools for database backup, input, and export of previous configurations and
automatic backup on a periodic basis.
AxTraxNG supports all panel types and offers scalability and flexibility in
addition to a range of advanced control features.
