The Paxton Net2 Plus is a networked access control unit built to manage one door while offering full scalability for larger, multi-door installations. This advanced controller is part of the Net2 system, giving site managers full visibility and control over access permissions, time zones, event logs, and door behavior—all from a central PC or server.
Unlike standalone systems, the Net2 Plus connects over TCP/IP or RS485, making it ideal for both new and existing network infrastructures. Its built-in Ethernet port eliminates the need for additional interface units, while onboard intelligence allows it to make decisions even if the main server is offline—keeping access uninterrupted.
Each unit manages a single door, controlling inputs from a reader and exit button, as well as lock outputs and alarms. Multiple units can be linked across a site using standard network cabling, allowing for flexible expansion as the site’s access requirements grow. With support for time-based access levels, event tracking, anti-passback, and third-party integration (e.g. fire alarms or CCTV), the Net2 Plus delivers a truly professional-grade access control solution.
