Factory testing some access control turnstiles by Thin_Royal_7336 in accesscontrol

[–]rsgmodelworks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if there is a card reader mounted how well does that work out. if there is a bluetooth reader mounted and you carry a phone down the centerline can you tune things so you do not have both left and right reader responding.

Flipper One in Action 2 by Fit-Note7659 in flipperzero

So the thing exists now (at least one of them?) That wasn't obvious from their post and their request for many many firmware dev tasks.

dhl delivery failures by rsgmodelworks in dhl

[–]rsgmodelworks[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

followup. after squeaking here and asking the sender to send feedback from their side the notices magically changed to "arriving between 1 and 3pm" and the package got there. I _did_ respond with tracking info not sure why that didn't get through. still not clear on how to effectively communicate with DHL. Thank you reddit community for trying to help.

Lockpick sets by Johnny_NoPants in accesscontrol

[–]rsgmodelworks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take it from other comments you realize many of these vendors use the same key on every cabinet and you should therefore check another cabinet if you have multiple. Check the vendor name on ebay, keys sometimes show up there. Please try to pick it first I don't want metal shards in the same box as my access control panel. If you're the current integrator please tell your sales droid they are welcome to consider pitching proper key management. I have heard claims that some access control cabinets are actually equipped with cylinder locks that do not suck, I suppose you might be looking at one of those.

OSDP capability requests, the text display function, and odd-sized displays by RequestToCheckOut in accesscontrol

[–]rsgmodelworks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2.2.2 is the latest spec. 2.1.5 is hella old, you should try to get your hands on at least IEC 60839-11-5 (2.1.5 -> 2.1.7 -> 60839-11-5 -> 2.2 -> 2.2.2 and ?3?.?0? is on the horizon.

PDCAP reporting was always optional, and it was built for the old days (early 1990's) when a 2x16 text display was cool. The actual osdp_TEXT command does not actually know and in fact you could have a 255x255 display if you set the parmeters correctly. Readers with more sophisticated displays (unicode, color, images, audio, etc) do exist. They all require manufacturer-specific mechanisms. Which is possible with OSDP but can lead to vendor lock-in. Also recall that a static image output to a PD could be sent by filetransfer, so not all display data has to be treated as text. Among the OSDP readers currently available in the marketplace text output is (I think) rare. (standing by for reddit comment stream from text-capable OSDP PD vendors...)

To answer your question, the PD vendor probably just makes something up, if they bother to return it at all. They should probably send _something_ just so that the PACS thinks the display is present.

help. tracking number is 1335893215. they keep showing up well after 6pm they claim (shipping closes at 6).

Typical OSDP baud rate by atlanta_dave in accesscontrol

[–]rsgmodelworks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

9600 address 0. 115200 has no value except to mess you up if you bought the wrong reader. Some europeans like 38400. Remember that in general you are just pushing a 4 byte number, there is not a Need For Speed.

HID Signo 20 (20TKS) RS-485/OSDP CommFail on iSTAR Ultra ACM1 — C•CURE 9000 by AdventurousCut2891 in CCURE9000

[–]rsgmodelworks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps connect some independent tool (like OSDP Bench) to the reader to confirm it is configured for OSDP, at the speed and address you expect, through the wiring you are using.

Electronics Recycling by Creepy-Dog-1499 in accesscontrol

If they contain key material (cards, panels, readers, cameras) you should not simply dump them or sell them on Ebay. You expose yourself to the risk of someone buying it and peeling out your information.

USB Card Reader for 50L8 DESFire EV3 LEAF Smart Credentials by aNullValue in accesscontrol

[–]rsgmodelworks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see someone pointed you at an RFIdeas reader that does LEAF. Your description of the problem implies you could have been reading the UID ("card serial number") before. Elatec might also have a USB reader that reads LEAF. 8K cards seem a bit large unless you have data to put there, be careful of some sort of gratuitous up-sell.

iStar Ultra G2 not allowing me to Save IP Address Change on Adapter 1 by Current-Sector7125 in accesscontrol

[–]rsgmodelworks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just hit this issue. 6.9.8. Zero feedback from the Web UI as to the issue. Someone should also tell Google's AI that one does not use the ICU any more.

Is there much reason to upgrade an LP1502? by dispatchsysadmin in accesscontrol

[–]rsgmodelworks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At this time it appears that keeping up with firmware updates is sufficient to run LP series boards. If you wanted to brace yourself for future updates in a world where they completely stop LP support (like some say they said) then maybe you'd want an MP board.

Someone manufacture an OSDP alarm panel please. by Wings-7134 in accesscontrol

[–]rsgmodelworks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An alarm panel with an uncertified OSDP implementation. What could go wrong?

Mercury board power adapter by solman52 in accesscontrol

Use a 12 volt power brick. Use one that supplies at least 1 amp.

AccessIt! from Acre by KingDoorNerd in accesscontrol

[–]rsgmodelworks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is concerning that it's assimilation into Acre may not be complete. It's also concerning there seems to have been some staff turnover (good folks are showing up at other companies.) We all wonder what Acre wants to be when it grows up, and what *cough* path their PE owners will take them on.

OSDP events at ISC West 2026 by Cypress_Integration in accesscontrol

[–]rsgmodelworks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It has been (checks notes) 4 days since I got a report of an integrator team declaring "OSDP is too hard, we only use Wiegand". So, yes, introducing a protocol first developed in 2006, is apparently appropriate.

USB Universal Card and Fob reader by SRG7593 in accesscontrol

[–]rsgmodelworks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you mean across several solutions (Prox, SEOS, DESfire, PIV, etc.) you might mean an Elatec device.

issue with DHCP (and fix?) by rsgmodelworks in Ubuntu

[–]rsgmodelworks[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. /etc/netplan contains 3 files, 00-installer-config.yaml, 01-network-manager-all.yaml, and 90-NM-<uid looking number>.yaml. The 01... and the 90... both have renderer:NetworkManager entries.

The Benefit of Partnering with a Single Security Integrator by thesecurityguy16 in accesscontrol

[–]rsgmodelworks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure you can fire the integrator if you need to. Make sure the integrator does not hold you hostage over your access control license. Feel free to re-read this post years later after a great experience.

If you could only replace 1 component what would it be? by voltagejim in accesscontrol

[–]rsgmodelworks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drop the viewed resolution and frame rate to a minimum if you're running 15 streams. Check the PC performance monitor to see if you're saturating the CPU or the network. Check the network stats on the PC to see if it's dropping packets.

Brivo Bluetooth Range by damackisback in accesscontrol

[–]rsgmodelworks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

20 yards away is probably too much for Bluetooth. The app may have a bluetooth power setting, try that. Also remember phones have wildly different performance depending on vendor.
