When you construct BioStar 2 with 1^st generation entry-level devices and 2^nd generation or On-Device AI devices, you can encounter a sync error and not operate the system correctly.

As you know, 1^st generation entry-level and 2^nd generation or On-Device AI devices have different capacities in the number of users, access group, access level, floor level, and other features.

Note: From BioStar 2 v2.7.3, max access group, max access level, max floor group, and max floor level support up to 2048.

If you enroll and create more than the maximum number of entry-level devices’ capacity, BioStar 2 cannot sync with entry-level devices because the current setting exceeds the device's ability.

In this case, you have two options to resolve the issue.

Option 1. Reduce current usage of users, access groups, access levels, and floors as your entry-level devices’ limitations.

Option 2. Replace all your current 1^st generation entry-level devices with 2^nd generation devices to keep your maximum usage.
