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 Vicon Technical Support.
