Qualified 3rd party reader: HID® Signo™ Keypad Reader 20 & 20K, STid ARCS-A/BT & B/BT



    In various sites where Suprema products are used, there has been a requirement not only to install only Suprema devices but also to connect third-party devices to Suprema devices through OSDP protocol with higher security than Wiegand.

    Suprema has released a new function to support 3rd party OSDP readers in CS-40 when using BioStar 2 v2.9.1 and CS-40 v1.6.1 or later versions to fulfill the customers' demand.

* Note: This function is not supported by CS-40 Setup Manager.



You CANNOT use the 3rd party OSDP readers as a device for enrolling cards.

[Table 2 - Supported version of BioStar 2 and CS-40]


B.    Wiring a 3rd party OSDP reader to CS-40 as the sample below.

Maximum 8 devices are connectable to one single CS-40. Each port supports 2 devices with daisy chain. ([Both BioStar] Daisy Chain and RS485 Connection)


You CANNOT connect 3rd party OSDP readers and Suprema RS-485 Slave devices to the same RS-485 port of CS-40.


The specifications for the maximum number of Suprema Slave devices supported by CS-40 and the maximum number of 3rd party OSDP readers are not counted together.
(e.g., If 64 Suprema RS-485 Slave devices are connected to a single CS-40, 3rd party OSDP readers can be connected to other remaining ports where Suprema RS-485 Slave devices are not connected.)

C.    Set up CS-40 configurations.

  • Set the SCB Key.
SCB (Secure Channel Base) Key is 16 bytes long and is used for Secure Session.

1) The SCB Key MUST be set before adding an OSDP reader, and if there is an already added device, you CANNOT change the SCB Key.
2) If the manufacturer of the 3rd party OSDP reader uses a specific SCB Key, you can set the same key with OSDP reader in CS-40.
3) If the SCB Key does not match between CS-40 and OSDP reader, you CANNOT connect to the device through "Secure Session." (Unencrypted communication is possible if you do not use Secure Session.)

 
  • Set the Baud Rate according to each 3rd party OSDP reader's specifications.


  • Set the Authentication part. Please set the right "Byte Order" according to each 3rd party device's design. "Byte Order" can differ from the Suprema device's specification.


D.    Right-click on CS-40 in the "Connected" state and click "Add OSDP Device."

  • Add OSDP Device: for adding 3rd party OSDP reader.
  • Search Suprema Slave Device: for adding Suprema devices in Slave mode.


E.    Check the "Port Status" and click the Port to which the 3rd party device is connected.

  • Please note that the "Port Status" should be available.
  • You can add a maximum of "2" 3rd party OSDP readers per port and a maximum of "8" 3rd party OSDP readers in total.
  • You CANNOT connect 3rd party OSDP readers and Suprema RS-485 Slave devices to the same RS-485 port of CS-40.


F.    Set up details of the 3rd party OSDP reader's configuration.

  • You must set up a 3rd party OSDP reader before adding devices to CS-40 with the tools which each product's manufacturer provides.
  • Supported Auth Mode: "Card Only" or "Card + PIN"
  • NOTE: PIN Only mode is not available to support.


G. The device tree will show if all settings are configured well.
