Net2 plus is a single door access control unit and is the most advanced control unit in the Paxton Net2 ACU range. It has on-board TCP/IP to allow direct connection to a computer network, this can save time, money and result in a better, more resilient system.

Features and benefits:

Can also be connected together using a dedicated RS485 network. This reduces the number of TCP/IP network points required for larger systems.
Hardware features include the following: Volt free control relay x 2, Input for PSU fail, Input for tamper, Alarm output, Dedicated intruder alarm input.
The 12V 2A Power supply unit is available in either a plastic or metal cabinet.
The cabinet can house both the 12V 2A PSU and a Net2 and the option to accommodate a 12V/7Ah back up battery if desired.
A tamper switch is also installed which registers an alarm if the lid is opened when connected to an ACU.
Single door networkable access control unit.
Plug into a TCP/IP network using a RJ45 plug.
Features a built in TCP/IP converter.
Different control units can be mixed on a site.
FLASH memory allows easy upgrades.
Use Paxton or 3rd party readers.

The Net2 plus control unit connects to the central administration PC using an RJ45 plug into a standard TCP/IP Ethernet network. This greatly increases the flexibility of installation options on sites that have LAN/WAN networks. The Net2 plus control unit also has a RS485 connection. This means it can be connected to other Net2 plus or Net2 classic control units using a dedicated CAT5 cable.

One Net2 plus control unit can be the network interface to the LAN and also run a wired RS485 daisy chain of other Net2 plus or Net2 classic units, removing the need for an independent TCP/IP to RS485 converter. Net2 plus is also available with a Power over Ethernet (PoE) power supply. PoE is a technology that allows both power and data to be passed along Ethernet cabling. Net2 plus with PoE simply plugs straight into the existing LAN using a standard RJ45 plug (providing it is powered by either a compatible PoE switch or a PoE injector).

Net2 Plus is supplied as a PCB only or in a cabinet with or without a power supply. Both metal and plastic cabinets are available, with a 2A or PoE+ power supply. Both metal and plastic cabinets are available, with a 2A (battery backup recommended) or PoE+ (UPS recommended) power supply.
