Overview

Paxton Net2 is access control that runs on a server at your location. The integration adds your customers to Net2 as users, gives them their cards, and grants them the right doors based on what they have in Nexudus. Customers open doors with Paxton cards and fobs. The integration costs £50 a month per location (shown in your currency), on top of what Paxton charges.

​
How access works

You can link each item to Net2 doors, to Net2 access levels, or both. Doors are granted to the customer individually; access levels are given to the Net2 user exactly as they’re defined in Net2.

​
Before you start

  • Get your Net2 username, password and Client ID — your Paxton installer can help. The Client ID is the name of your Net2 licence file; restart the Net2 service after installing the licence.
  • Make your Net2 server reachable from the internet: open and forward port 8443 on your firewall to the Net2 server.

​
Setting up Paxton Net2

  1. Go to Settings → Integrations → Paxton Net2 and turn on Enable Paxton Net2 integration.
  2. Enter the Paxton Net2 username, Paxton Net2 password and Paxton Net2 Client ID.
  3. Enter the Paxton Net2 Server IP — usually https:// followed by your public IP address and :8443.
  4. If your cards aren’t standard Net2 tokens, enter the Token Type. Leave it blank to use Unspecified.
  5. Save. Then, for each of your Resources, Passes and Desks / Offices, choose the Net2 doors and Net2 access level it gives access to. Leave an item blank if it shouldn’t open any doors. Save again.

Giving customers cards

Customers’ cards and fobs are managed in Nexudus, not Net2. Open the customer, go to Account → Access rights, and enter each card number in Access cards, pressing Enter after each one.
Nexudus keeps each Net2 user’s cards in line with their Access cards field. Cards you add to a user directly in Net2 are removed the next time the customer is updated.
Customers are added to Net2 automatically as they get access. To send customers straight away — for example when you first connect — tick them in Operations → Members & contacts and choose Update access control from Bulk actions. It can take a few minutes for many customers. Customers can also open Net2 doors from their phone with an automation tile set to Show Access Control pop-up, which lists the doors they can open. Paxton Net2 doesn’t check customers in from door events. Use another check-in method if you track occupancy.
