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 ofce environment are signal reections from the walls, oor and ofce furniture. A strong signal
received directly from the bridge may be completely cancelled by a signal reected 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 Conguration Utility/Net2Air bridge as a xed IP entry.
NOTE: Only ONE Net2Air USB bridge can be congured per system. Multiple
Net2Air Ethernet bridges may also be congured, up to 50 bridge nodes in total.

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.
