Software - Requires Net2 v4.14 or later.
Documentation on all Paxton products can be found on our website - http://www.paxton.co.uk/
The access control unit connects to the Net2 software running on the PC using Paxton Net2Air proprietary wireless
technology. A Net2Air bridge enables communication from the Net2 software to the Paxton family of wireless
products.
Radio signals do not always behave as you might expect. For example, a mobile phone that displays a full signal
on one part of the site will lose signal completely only a few metres away. These problems can be addressed by
using the Net2 site surveyor kit (690-200).

connection
The unit is powered from a
supplied mains power adaptor
via a plug connection.
The unit should be mounted vertically in the
supplied base to achieve the optimum range.
Power over Ethernet.
This unit can be powered over the ethernet
link with POE compatible hardware.

Radio frequency
The unit is set to channel 11 (2.405 GHz). This product should not be installed within 3 metres of any other radio
(LAN/Wi-Fi) equipment to reduce the possibility of interference.
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
6486 TCP
6488 UDP
6489 UDP
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.
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.
Connecting to the PC via the Ethernet port
The IP address should be assigned a xed value, or should be given a DHCP reservation. Unreserved IP addresses
issued by DHCP servers are not guaranteed to be constant, leading to potential failure of communication between
Net2 software and the bridge.
Run the Net2 Server Conguration Utility (Start/Programs/Net2) and Click on Net2Air Bridge.
If you still cannot detect the MAC address of the device, connect it directly to your PC via a network cable and call
our Technical Help line.

This product is not suitable for retail sale. All warranties are invalid if this product is not installed by a competent person.
Data Reset
To clear all settings back to their factory default, including clearing the current IP address and setting the bridge
to acquire new addresses using DHCP, power on the unit with the reset button held down for 3 seconds. This is
located at the rear of the unit through a small hole beneath the power connection.
The unit will beep to acknowledge once the reset is complete.
Sounder
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. This is a feature to assist with nding devices
hidden from view.

Net2Air Site Surveyor (690-200).
This access control unit uses wireless communication. It is recommended that a Net2Air site surveyor is used to
determine the best position for the bridge and control units.
