1. Introduction
The Progeny P2 system is an exciting new addition to the Progeny range of access control products. It has
been specifically designed for installations between one and sixteen doors. Simplicity was the key design criteria
for both for hardware and software. The software interface of Doors Express and Doors Express Professional
provides a setup wizard which will have the P2 system up and running in five simple steps! For ease of use, the
P2 setup wizard will search for doors on the P2 network and add them automatically as well as allowing the user
to easily add cards to the system.
The P2 system offers two methods of connectivity to a PC:
USB Interface via a 3803 P2 USB Interface
Local Area Network via a 3801 P2.net.
This manual provides a “Quick Start Guide”to set the system up in simple steps and also a more in depth guide
to the hardware of the P2 system. For a more detailed look at the software and its features refer to the “Doors
Express Software Manual”.
