Net2Air increases the effective read range of a standard Paxton P or KP series reader to a maximum of 8 feet.
The system comprises of a Net2Air Hands Free Interface, a compatible reader (see specication table) and Net2Air
tokens (keycard or keyfob). The system operates by using the eld being transmitted by the reader to wake up
the token which then communicates with the interface which contains a long range receiver.
Existing P and KP readers with their Switch 2 or Net2 control units, can be used without modication. The Net2Air
Hands Free Interface takes its power from the control unit and therefore does not require a power supply.
Net2Air tokens also include a standard proximity ID chip and can therefore be presented to any Paxton proximity
reader whether they are using the Net2Air interface or not.
What is Net2Air?
Before you install
Read in, read out
When using in and out readers, users may be picked up by both readers as they move through the door which
will effect the reliability of any Roll Call or Antipassback application. Ensure that sufcient spacing is provided
between these readers for optimum range and reliability.
Positioning readers
For maximum read range the Net2Air reader eld should not be overlapped by the eld from other interference
sources at or around 125KHz. These include Loop readers, non Paxton readers, etc.
Readers should not positioned so that their active elds overlap.
(see table on back page for typical read ranges)
For example, the minimum distance between a P200 and a P50 reader
should be 12 ft (P200 Net2Air range = 8 ft + P50 Net2Air range = 4 ft)

For optimum keyfob battery life please choose your reader size and location carefully to avoid placing readers
within Net2Air range of work stations, rest or smoking areas. Net2Air tokens have features to extend battery
life. These include a two second timeout following a valid read and a block on repeated reads at the same door
whilst the keyfob remains in range.
Positioning the interface
The interface should be positioned within 15 yards of the reader regardless of cable length. Wireless technology
can be susceptible to environmental factors so if problems are experienced it may be necessary to move the
interface closer to the reader.
The Net2Air interface should not be housed in a metal enclosure as it contains the main receiver aerial.

FUTURE USE)
Paxton Access Net2 control unit
Readers used with Net2Air can be extended using Beldon CR9540 10-core overall screened cable. The maximum
cable length between the reader and its Net2 ACU or Switch 2 is 100 yards
Cable extensions
Using an entry conrmation button
Where two doors are close together and there is a possibility that both may pick up the Net2Air token, a push to
make button can be used to conrm an entry request for a specic door. Where tted, the button must be pressed
within 5 seconds of a valid Net2Air token being recognised to unlock the door.
Conguration
Firmware download
When rst powered up new rmware will be downloaded from the interface to the reader.
This is indicted by ashing amber and red LEDs on the reader. Once complete all LEDs will be lit.
This may take up to 10 minutes to complete. Do NOT disconnect power during the rmware update.
If the rmware update is still taking place after 10 minutes then remove and then re-connect the ACU cable. Listen
to the reader, the reader should NOT beep. If the reader beeps within approximately 10 seconds of power up it will
not take the rmware update. Repeat the process until the reader does NOT ‘beep’ on power up. Then leave for 10
mins to allow the update to take place
To enable the use of an entry conrmation button do the following steps:
1. Power down the Net2Air interface board
2. Power up the Net2Air interface board
3. Press and hold the entry conrmation button for a minumum of 3 seconds within 60 seconds of power up.
To disable the use of the button repeat the above process.

Changing frequency channel
If you are experiencing problems with the range or reliability this may be due to poor reader positioning, adjacent
interfering 125KHz or 2.4 GHz equipment, e.g. an adjacent wireless PC network. Please refer to the ‘Before you
install’ information regarding unit locations. If you are still unable to improve the system performance then you
may try an alternative 2.4 GHz channel using Switch 1.
The system has 16 different channels available. The unit is set to channel 4 as this frequency is normally clear of
other device transmissions. This can be changed using a small at blade screwdriver. Take care not to contact the
circuit board with the screwdriver blade as this may damage components.
