Implementing OSDP
OSDP™ will no doubt grow and evolve but right now there are only a few critical points involved in understanding the transition to OSDP. Gateway products and protocol translators are fast emerging in the access control marketplace, to readily address the following situations:
If you already have an OSDP reader and panel, you basically are dealing with a software issue. The application program provided by the panel manufacturer will allow full configuration of the network and device features. For the installer, just hook up the power as usual and connect the
RS-485 (Line A and B) wires as instructed in the documentation.

If you are implementing OSDP protocol end-to-end to satisfy a specification which requires OSDP supervision of the link between the door and control panel /secure channel, click here.
If you are implementing OSDP to remote-controlled field devices (Unix, Linux, Mac, PC) or an embedded control, and need the remote module to interface with the real world, click here.
If you need OSDP protocol for something other than RS-485 communication media, click here.
