Creating a channel for configuring OSDP readers in Synergis™ Softwire 11.1 - Synergis™ Softwire 11.1

OSDP readers need to have their RS-485 bit rate and address configured before they can be used. You can configure your readers directly from the Synergis™ Appliance Portal by creating an OSDP channel with Programming mode enabled.

2. Click Configuration > Hardware.
3. At the top of the Hardware column, click Add ().
4. In the Add hardware dialog box, select OSDP as the Hardware type.
5. Select a Channel.
   NOTE: If your Synergis™ unit has an optional expansion module, then you have additional channels. For more information, see the SY-CLOUDLINK-312 Quick Start Guide.
6. Under Interface module type, click Add.
   
7. Click Save.
   The channel and reader are created.
8. From the hardware tree, select the OSDP channel you created and click Edit ().
9. From the Bit rate list, select the bit rate you want to configure for your reader, and then select the Programming mode check box.
   If you have a configuration card, you can use it instead of Programming mode. See the documentation that came with your card.
