Reader Type - Devices configured as Readers can be configured to show a different icon depending on the Reader Type configured for the Device. The different Reader Types are outlined below:
- Standard - This is the default Reader type and applies to any Reader besides the TouchIO and Red-series readers.
- Touch io - Choosing this Reader Type enables functions specific to the Touchio readers, which are detailed in the article about Touch.io Reader Options.

Credentials - This section only shows while using Red-series Readers.
- Support Bluetooth Credentials - For a Red-series Reader that support Bluetooth credentials, tapping or clicking this option will enable this function.
- Only accept Secure Credential Reads -
Protocol - This allows the selection of which wiring configuration is being used, between Wiegand and OSDP wiring. If the reader is wired as OSDP and using the multi-drop functionality (connecting multiple Red Readers to a single port), clicking the gear icon allows access to the OSDP Address for the reader to be set.
OSDP Address - After configuring the OSDP Address for the Red-readers attached to the port, select the Address for the selected reader.

Auto Open After First Allow - When configuring a Device that will have an Auto-Open Schedule rule applied to a Primary Reader or Premium IO device, this option determines the behavior of the Device when the Auto-Open Schedule begins. Tap or click the control to change how Auto-Open Schedules are processed.
Below is an explanation of how this control works in both states.
- Disabled - When the Auto-Open Schedule begins, the Device relay will activate automatically.
- Enabled - When the Auto-Open Schedule begins, the Device relay will not activate until an 'Allowed' credential input occurs during the Auto-Open Schedule.
For more information regarding Auto-Open Schedules, please refer to our articles about Auto-Open Schedules.
Auto Close - Tapping or clicking this control will enable or disable the Door/Device will enable/disable the Open/Close Dwell option below and enable/disable the Door/Device automatically closing after the time listed.
Open Close Delay - The amount of time that the door/device is delayed in opening after a valid credential scan. Set a time delay value before a device Action is initiated following a valid read. For example, to set a delay of two seconds before a door is unlocked after a valid read, the Delay value would be set to 2.
Open/Close Dwell - This is the amount of time that the Door/Device stays unlocked on a valid credential scan. Set a time duration value that a device remains unlocked after a valid read.
Relay
-
Activate - Tapping or clicking Activate will send an activation command to the selected Doo/Device. For a door/gate device, this will unlock the Device. For an IO Device, this will trigger the expected output. The relay will remain activated until a Deactivate command is sent.
-
Deactivate - Tapping or clicking Deactivate will send a deactivate command to the selected Device/relay. For a door/gate device, this will lock the Device. For an IO Device, this will stop the expected output. The relay remains closed until Activate is clicked again or a rule under a Person or Group affects the Device.
Door Position Sensor (DPS) - Input A: A Door Position Sensor records the position of the door (open or closed) at all times. Tapping or clicking the control will enable/disable the DPS input on the Device and enable/disable the Prop Alarm option.
Motion Request to Exit (REX) - Input B: A Request to Exit (REX) device allows a System Event to be configured every time the REX input is triggered. Both REX and DPS must be selected in order to enable the Forced Alarm option.
Partition - Existing partitions that have been created are listed and can be added to a device. Multiple partitions created previously are listed in alphanumeric order. Tap or click on a Partition name to view that partition’s information and edit this if needed.
Prop Alarm - The Prop Alarm option allows an alarm to be added for System Events and in Reports when a door is propped open for the amount of time entered in the Prop Delay. When Prop Alarm is checked, the Prop Delay option is available for selection.
Prop Delay - This option only is displayed when Prop Alarm is enabled. The Prop Delay option is the amount of time, in seconds, after a door is propped open before the system will trigger a Door Propped Event, allowing time for the door to close.
Forced Alarm - This option logs any time a door has been opened without a valid card scan or when the REX has been tripped, showing the door was forced open. An alarm can be set for a forced door when Forced Alarm is checked. Forced Alarm is only available when both DPS and REX are checked.
