For instructions in alternative languages - http://paxton.info/1000
The Net2 plus ACU has 2 reader ports and 3
output relays, but can control just one door.
The conguration of one control unit per door
greatly simplies installation and is ultimately
highly cost eective.
For a fail open lock (Maglock), wire 0V to the
"N.C." terminal instead of "N.O."

A Net2 plus can connect to the Net2 PC using either an un-shielded RJ45 patch cable or an RS485 data line. This
greatly increases the number of installation options available to the installer.
One Net2 plus can also be used as the TCP/IP interface for an RS485 daisy chain of Net2 plus and Net2 classic units.
When used with a TCP/IP connection, it must rst be detected using the Net2 Server Conguration Utility as dened
later in this instruction.
When used with an RS485 data line, on-board termination resistors can be put in circuit with a simple slide switch.
Ensure that units installed in the middle of the data line have this switch turned OFF.
A dedicated Intruder Alarm connection is provided.
Overview
The TCP/IP interface allows an RS485 data line to be controlled by the Net2 Server running across a LAN network.
An RS485 data line has a 1000 yds maximum. This distance can be increased with the use of Paxton high speed
repeaters or by using shorter independant data lines using multiple LAN connections controlled from the same PC.
Site Layout Examples
The ACU's will continue to operate in a 'standalone' mode if the PC is shut down or the dataline is disconnected.
Any Events that occur during this period are stored in the ACU and the PC is updated when it comes back on line.
The PC must be running for any 'server based' functions to operate. (Antipassback, Time and Attendance, etc).
The ACU shall be installed within the protected premises as both the power and lock wiring is present at the PCB.
A Tamper alarm input is provided on the PCB - See Input/Output Wiring

TCP/IP and RS485 LED indication
The Net2 plus performs two functions. It is an access control unit and also a TCP/IP RS485 converter. Information
can pass across the PCB between the TCP/IP and RS485 data port but is not relevant to this ACU
- Server Connected LED (Steady Green)
This LED shows that the TCP/IP interface is active and receiving data from the Net2 PC server. This includes all data
for other ACU's that may be linked via the RS485 data port.
- Rx and Tx LED's
These LED's show the activity for this ACU only. This is same indication as seen on a Net2 classic ACU.
It is not dependant on the source (TCP/IP or RS485). The Rx LED will ash for all data being received and the Tx
LED will only ash when this unit responds to its own address.

PAGE 3
Control unit installation
Wire the components to the Access Control Unit (ACU) as shown on the rst page.
Press the exit button or in the absence of an exit button, short the 0V and exit terminals together. The congured lock
output LED will come on and the lock should release.
The unit will continue to operate in a 'standalone' mode if the PC is shut down. Any Events that occur during this period
are stored in the unit and the PC is updated when it comes back on line.
The ACU shall be installed within the protected premises as both the power and lock wiring is present at the PCB. A
Tamper alarm input is provided on the PCB - See Input/Output Wiring
Where the ACU is being installed within a plastic enclosure, the hub must be connected to the conduit before it is
connected to the plastic enclose. This is to eliminate the potential of any excessive torque loading being applied to the
plastic enclosure during installation.
This housing should be xed to the surface with suitable fasteners; screws and wall plugs are provided for this in the
tting kit. Also provided are cable ties to secure the cabling and a smaller securing screw for the lid.
Mounting
Use Max length Type
RS485 Data Line 1000 yds 2 x twisted pairs - Belden 8723 or Cat5 equivalent

Input / Output 100 yds 2 conductor - Alpha 1172C (22AWG) or equivalent
Cable specication
Cable type
The ACU is supported on mounting posts located at the corners.
If the unit is supplied in a plastic housing, it should be xed to the surface with suitable fasteners. Four screws and
wall plugs are provided for this in the parts kit along with cable ties and two smaller screws for the lid.
Mount the four corner f/f mounting posts to the plate with four of the machine screws and then secure the circuit
board to their tops using the remaining four screws.

Connecting to the PC via the Ethernet port
The IP address should be assigned a xed value, or a DHCP reservation. Unreserved IP addresses issued by DHCP
servers are not guaranteed to be constant, leading to potential failure of PC to Net2 bridge communications.
Run the Net2 Server Conguration Utility (Start/Programs/Net2) and Click on TCP/IP nodes.
Click on;Detect and the MAC address of the device(s) will appear in the table. You must then use the "IP address
conguration" tab to manually assign the IP address, subnet mask and gateway.
Be aware that if the IP address that you give the device is not in the same IP range as the PC, the device will no
longer respond until you connect to it with a PC that is in the same IP range.
Some rewall/virus protection software and other wireless hardware can block the IP detection process. Disable
these and try to detect the device again. Please contact Technical Support if you require further advice.
If you detect the MAC address but the device now shows 'Not Responding', you must check the IP address, to
make sure it is still in range with the PC or network. If it is not, you should either change the IP address of the
PC or the IP address of the device so they are both again in the same range. Our Technical team can talk you
through this if you need help.
If the MAC address does not appear when you click;Detect, ensure that the following ports are open on all devices
between this unit and the Net2 PC:-
69 UDP
If you still cannot detect the MAC address of the device, call our Technical Support Help line.
When connecting to a WAN or different subnet mask
If you are connecting this device to a remote subnet which is different from the Net2 software PC, the standard
detect mechanism cannot work across the network routers between them. The IP address, along with the correct
subnet mask and gateway for the remote subnet have to be set. Either do this on the local subnet with the existing
Net2 PC, or use a PC on the remote subnet once the device is installed.
The PC that has the Net2 server installed must be able to access the IP address range on the WAN/remote site.
NOTE: The device will 'beep' when detected by the Net2 Server Conguration Utility or when new IP settings are
applied. The sounder will also respond to a direct 'Ping' over the network to help locate the unit.
TCP/IP Reset - The unit can be returned to DHCP settings by powering down the unit and linking the 'Red LED'
and 'Media Detect' terminals on reader port 2. Power up the unit again and the unit will beep to acknowledge the
link. You may now remove the link and the OK LED will ash fast for a few seconds. When the OK LED returns to
a steady heartbeat, the IP settings will be reset to DHCP.
10001 TCP 30718 UDP
If the TCP/IP data connection is longer than 25 ft the following surge protection device must be installed
within 3 ft of the control unit. Data line surge protector. Emerson Network Power: Model LCDP-060.

90% of installation faults are caused by wiring errors on the RS485 data line.
Special attention to this area can save time and effort.
Connecting to the PC or other ACU's via the RS485 data connection
Reader & Data Cable Screens
- Data cable screens and spare cores MUST be connected throughout.
- Reader and keypad screens where provided, should be connected to the Black 0V terminal.
The data line must be wired in a single daisy chain. The data connection to the PC may be located at any position
along the data line.
TCP/IP Loopback test
The following test should be run if there are problems setting up the IP conguration of the interface. This test
sends data to the device and checks this against the data it receives back. This conrms that the network pathing
is working correctly.
The Net2 server program must be shut down during this test.
Remove any wires from the RS485 data line connector and create a hardwired data loop as follows. Connect the
Orange to White/Green and Green to White/Orange. To run the test, click the Loopback button in the advanced
section of the Server Cong Utility/TCP/IP Nodes. If the test fails, connect the unit directly to the PC with a
network patch cable and test it again. Should this still fail, please call Technical Support for further advice.

Check the screen of the data cable is continuous - this provides the 0V DC system reference.
Check that there are no data line to screen shorts.
Check the resistance across each data pair is 60-80 ohms.
RS485 data line resistance check
Power down all TCP/IP, USB and RS232 converters (individual and Net2 plus).
This may require the routers and gateways to be congured between the networks. Again, this would be done by
the Network administrator of that site. Make sure the ports listed above are open on all intermediate routers.
Once installed, create a record with the;Add button (if none was created during initial set up) and you should then
be able to detect its MAC by entering the IP address in the Conguration screen Ping box.
Naming TCP/IP Ethernet interfaces
The rename button can be used to give an interface a meaningful name in the system. This can be especially
useful when more than one interface is used, as the name will appear in the doors screen within Net2 showing
which ACUs are connected to which dataline, helping in any future fault nding process.
END OF LINE TERMINATION - 120 ohm resistors must be linked across each data pair at the beginning AND end of
the line. This can be done on many units with a switch or jumpers. If not, resistors are provided with the converter.

The reader's default indication has all the LED's on. Access granted is denoted with a single ashing Green LED.
Access Denied is a single ashing Red LED.
Each time the unit is powered on, it will run an internal health check. During this phase (about 5 secs) the OK
LED will ash quickly before changing to a slower heartbeat.
The Net2 ACU is designed to take input from Clock and Data readers through its two (In/Out) reader ports.
It can also be congured for Wiegand (26 / 50 bits).
It has an RS485 communications port that is used for uploading rmware and user information as well as
providing Event information to the PC.
Wire the components to the Access Control Unit (ACU) as shown on the rst page.
Press the exit button or in the absence of an exit button short the 0V and exit terminals to test the relay
function. The lock Relay LED will come on and the lock should release.
Following the completed installation of this equipment, no further maintenance or testing is required.
It is advisable to ensure that any third party backup power supplies or recovery procedures are checked
regularly to ensure that the operation of the Paxton system is not compromised.
Maintenance
Ensure that all the LED's are lit on the reader/keypad.
Test each reader by presenting a token and the unit should beep and display a single ashing red or green LED.
Present a token at each reader. An event for each read should appear in the Events screen.
Change the default password for the System Engineer.
Set up other operators if required.
Set up time zones.
Set up access levels.
Users can be added & assigned to the required access level.
Departments can be created if required.
The Net2 CD can assist here with detailed application notes for setting up users and general system operation.

Alarm sounder
Fire Door Interface
This local alarm has a transistor 'open drain' output, (not a dry
contact relay) and will switch 1A at 12V DC for a bell, light etc.
This local output can be turned on or off for each type of alarm
and can be congured to sound continuously or intermittently to
distinguish between different alarm types.
A re alarm system must be used to release all re doors. External
relay contacts are held closed by the re alarm's interface and will be
dropped during an alarm condition. The system is fail safe as the door
will release even if the cable burns through.
This is a ONE door controller using a dry contact relay.
The lock is wired across 12V and COM. A link (0V to NO or NC) is required, depending on lock type (Fail Closed /
Open). Fit the supplied diode across 12V and COM (Silver end to 12V ) to protect the relay contacts.
The dry relay contacts can be used to switch the power from an independent lock power supply. Wire the 0V to
NC or NO and the lock to COM; the +VCC supply is wired directly to the lock.

1 - RS485 Data line resistance check - ACU not responding or fails to be detected.
QFirst power down any data line converters and disconnect any ACU's that do not have a ashing OK LED. Using a
QMultimeter, measure the resistance across the White/Green and Green pair at one end of the network.
QA resistance of between 60 and 80 ohms is required. Repeat the test for the White/Orange and Orange pair.
QThis is vital for a stable and trouble free installation.
2 - ACU Reset - No OK LED ashing.
QThe ACU has no factory reset condition as it does not contain any xed settings. The unit does have an operating
Qprogram (rmware) that controls its functions and can be conrmed as running by means of the ashing OK LED.
Q- If the OK LED is ashing steadily, then there should be no reason to reset the unit.
Q- If the OK LED is not ashing, you need to clear the unit so that it can receive a rmware download from the PC.
Q Any other ACU's without OK LED's must be taken off the line or powered down.
Q1. Stop Net2 Server (Net2 server icon - Bottom right of screen - Right mouse click, Select Stop the Net2 Server).
Q2. Power down the Net2 ACU.
Q3. Insert a link wire between the 'Amber LED' and 'Media Detect' terminals on reader 2 port.
Q4. Power up the ACU. - The OK LED ashes very quickly.
Q5. With the unit still powered, remove the link.
Q6. Go to the PC and Start the Net2 Server and go into the Doors screen. Click on the Detect button. This
Q should look for the ACU and then download its rmware (This may take up to 5 minutes). - The OK LED
Q should now be ashing with a steady heartbeat. This procedure must only be done for one ACU at a time.
Q NOTE: If this unit is using the TCP/IP interface, any xed IP settings will be retained.
Q If the unit is in DHCP mode it will need to be detected at each stage using the Server Cong Utility as a new
Qaddress may be issued by the IP server, each time the PCB resets.
3 - Can we use a DHCP IP address?
QThe Ethernet interface does support DHCP, but for more reliable communication, a static IP address must be
Qreserved for the unit. This is because some servers issue different DHCP addresses each time they are restarted
Qand this requires the Net2 interface to be manually set up again - a time consuming process.
4 - TCP/IP - Direct PC connection.
QConnect the network interface directly to the LAN port of the PC. Without the presence of a DHCP server the unit
Qwill default to an IP address in the range 169.254.X.X.
QCheck the IP address of the network card of your PC by typing IPCONFIG at the command prompt. Detect the
QTCP/IP interface through the Net2 Conguration Utility and change the IP address of the interface to an address
Qsimilar to that of your machine. For example, if the IP address of the PC is 192.168.10.7, change the IP address
Qof the TCP/IP interface to 192.168.10.8. Once the IP address of the interface has been changed into the range of
Qthe PC then Net2 will be able to communicate with it.
QNOTE: Do not change the IP address of your PC to 169.254.x.x, this will not allow the IP address of the TCP/IP
Qinterface to be xed correctly.
5 - Cannot detect ACU via a TCP/IP interface.
Q1. Ensure the TCP/IP interface has been detected in the Net2 Conguration Utility, and responds when PINGed
Q from the utility. A static IP address must be used for the interface.
Q2. If the interface is responding, try a loopback test. (see Loopback section)
Q3. The Net2 data line should be checked for resistance readings.
6 - Readers/Keypads not working.
Q- Software settings - Conrm that the settings of the reader or keypad are correct.
Q- Connections - Check the wiring and integrity of the connectors. - If possible, test this reader on the other port.
Q- Cable - Belden 9540 or 9538 should be used to extend the reader cable. Twisted pair alarm cable
Q should not be used. To conrm that a cable extension is not at fault, wire the reader direct into the reader port.
Q- Supply voltage - Conrm that the voltage is within specication. (see table)
Q- User token - Conrm that the user token used for testing is OK by presenting it to a known working reader.
Q- Interference - Conrm whether the reader works when tested 'in hand' and not mounted on the wall. Ensure
Q that readers are not mounted back to back or there is no interference from other local RF devices.
