Support Wireless Door Lock via OSDP Integration

Affected Version: BioStar v2.9.4 or above 
Affected Products & Versions: CoreStation v1.7.1 or above

Suprema integrated a “Wireless Door Lock” from a manufacturing company called Uhlmann & Zacher (U&Z) into CoreStation. With CoreStation v1.7.1 and BioStar 2 v2.9.4, you can use the wireless door lock feature.

With this new feature, users can use wireless communication to authenticate even at a Wireless Door Lock located at a remote location from the CoreStation.

What you need to know before starting “Wireless Door Lock Integration” of CoreStation:
  1. Only CSN Cards that types of MIFARE or DESFire can be supported for this function.
  2. This feature operates on the basis of related license activation.
  3. The supported OSDP version is v2.2 for now.

Background

Below the v.2.9.3 or lower version of BioStar 2, the configuration of the door lock was possible only through physical wiring. Accordingly, for aesthetic reasons or security reasons, the need to introduce a door lock capable of wireless connection has been raised. To satisfy this market need, Suprema has launched the “Wireless Door Lock” integrated with U&Z.

Basic Concepts

  • Configuration
  • Data Processing Order
    1) Scan the enrolled card on the Wireless Door Lock
    2) Send the card data to the OSDP antenna via wireless communication(BLE)
