How to control authentication result with a third party controller

When you use a Suprema device to send Wiegand signals to a controller, you will always have one LED / Sound type that shows on reading the card regardless of authentication success or failure on the controller side.
In BioStar version 2.4 and above, you can control the device LED / Sound with the controller using the device input.
