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.

Net2Air USB bridge

Net2 nano is a wireless based 1 door access control unit. It is recommended that a

Net2Air site surveyor is used to determine the best position for the bridge and units.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference

received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Changes or modications not expressly

approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Changing frequency channel

If you are experiencing problems with the range or reliability this may be due to poor nano / bridge positioning

or adjacent interfering 2.4 GHz equipment, e.g. an adjacent wireless PC network.

The system has fteen different channels available. The unit is set to channel 11 as this frequency is normally

clear of other device transmissions.

Technical support can advise how to change the channel if interference is the cause of the problem.
