The Net2 nano control unit connects to the central administration PC using Paxton Access’ Net2Air proprietary

wireless technology. Control units communicate to the PC via a Net2Air USB bridge or Net2Air Ethernet bridge.

Unfortunately, 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 loose signal completely only a few metres away. The main

problem in an ofce environment are signal reections from the walls, oor and ofce furniture. A strong signal

received directly from the bridge may be completely cancelled by a signal reected via the oor.

Net2Air wireless communication

Plug the device into a spare USB port on the PC. The bridge will be registered by the Net2 software automatically.

This displays in the Net2 Server Conguration Utility/Net2Air bridge as a xed IP entry.

NOTE: Only ONE Net2Air USB bridge can be congured per system. Multiple

Net2Air Ethernet bridges may also be congured, up to 50 bridge nodes in total.
