Azure OSDP Reader Support

Azure Controller OSDP Device Support Overview

Azure controllers (IC2/IC4) support up to 16 OSDP devices, which include OSDP Readers, RI2M modules, IO168, and IO21 devices.

IC2 OSDP Reader Support

A single IC2 controller can support the following OSDP reader configurations:

1. Reader In Configuration:

   • 2 OSDP readers and up to 14 RI2Ms (28 OSDP readers total) for a combined maximum of 30 OSDP readers.

2. Reader In/Out Configuration:

   • 4 OSDP readers and up to 12 RI2Ms (24 OSDP readers total) for a combined maximum of 28 OSDP readers.

IC4 OSDP Reader Support

A single IC4 controller can support the following OSDP reader configurations:

1. Reader In Configuration:

   • 4 OSDP readers and up to 12 RI2Ms (24 OSDP readers total) for a combined maximum of 28 OSDP readers.

2. Reader In/Out Configuration:

   • 8 OSDP readers and up to 8 RI2Ms (16 OSDP readers total) for a combined maximum of 24 OSDP readers.

Important Note

• Connecting IO168 and IO21 devices to controllers will reduce the total number of supported OSDP devices.

Examples of OSDP Reader Configurations

1. IC2 Configurations:

   • Example 1: 2 OSDP readers (Reader In Configuration).
   • Example 2: 4 OSDP readers (Reader In/Out Configuration).
   • Example 5: 2 OSDP readers (Reader In Configuration) and 10 RI2Ms, totaling 22 OSDP readers.
   • Example 6: 4 OSDP readers (Reader In/Out Configuration) and 8 RI2Ms, totaling 20 OSDP readers.

2. IC4 Configurations:

   • Example 3: 4 OSDP readers (Reader In Configuration).
   • Example 4: 8 OSDP readers (Reader In/Out Configuration).
   • Example 7: 4 OSDP readers (Reader In Configuration) and 6 RI2Ms, totaling 16 OSDP readers.
   • Example 8: 8 OSDP readers (Reader In/Out Configuration) and 4 RI2Ms, totaling 16 OSDP readers.

This summary highlights the flexible configurations of Azure controllers to accommodate various access control needs.
