A typical Net 2 System

3. Door components 

  • Control unit – 1 required for every door. Able to permit or deny access to users without communication to the PC.
    Reader – 1 or 2 readers can be fitted to each door. A wide range of readers are compatible with Net2 including proximity, magstripe, keypads and biometric. 
    Exit button – Any ‘push to make’ button can be used. 
    Electric lock – The Net2 control unit has voltage free relay contacts. This means that Net2 is capable of operating any type of electric lock. 

Net 2 over multiple sites using TCP/IP

Consider a company with 4 offices. The offices are connected by a permanent Wide Area Network (WAN). Each office has some staff that only work at that office. There are other staff that require access to all offices. In order to prevent users from having to be added to 4 separate systems, a single centralised system has been installed.

Paxton Net2 software is installed on a rack-mounted server PC at the London office. The connection is established to all Net2 control units over the WAN.

The access control system may be administered from any PC on the WAN or LAN running the Net2 client software. Only those users with valid Net2 operator privileges can make changes to the system.

As a new staff member joins they are added to the Net2 system and given the appropriate access permissions for all offices. Users can be barred as required. Reports can be generated for each site individually or together as necessary.
