How to Use a Wireless Door Lock

A wireless door lock lets CoreStation control access without wiring to the door. The wireless door lock communicates wirelessly with the OSDP antenna connected to CoreStation.

This document explains how to use a wireless door lock, from activating a device license to adding the OSDP antenna and wireless door lock, setting authentication modes, and managing status.
