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.
Diagnostic LEDs
This unit requires a Net2Air bridge (USB or Ethernet) to communicate
with the controlling PC running Net2 v4.14 or later software.

Lock release
NOTE: A new unit requires approximately 30 seconds after initial power up to self congure.
During this time the OK LED will not be ashing.
The unit will not operate until this operation has completed.
Control unit installation
Wire the components to the Access Control Unit (ACU) as shown on the rst page. This will include:
- Reader/Keypad
- Electric Lock
- Power supply
- Any other optional components
Press the exit button or in the absence of an exit button short the 0V and exit terminals to test the relay function.
The Relay LED will come on and the lock should release.
The access control unit connects to the Net2 software running on the PC using Paxton Access’ Net2Air proprietary
wireless technology. The Net2Air USB bridge enables communication from the Net2 software to the Paxton Access
nano family of products.
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 lose signal completely only a few metres away. These problems can be addressed by
using the Net2 site surveyor kit. (690-200-US)

Data transfer with wireless technology requires far more control and error checking than with a hard wired data
line connection. Net2 classic runs with a server that originates and controls all the communications on the data
line. This would not be efcient in a wireless environment.
We therefore give the Nano controller the active role. Each Nano is always active and transmits data bursts
(including a regular Heartbeat) every few seconds. The Net2 server then acts upon these requests for service.
The PC requires at least one Net2Air bridge to communicate with a Nano. This can be a local Net2Air USB bridge
(only one per system) and/or multiple Net2Air Ethernet bridge units connected to the PC via a TCP/IP connection.

PC Installation
The current specication for compatible PC hardware, network and operating systems is available on our website
at the following link: http://paxton.info/720
There is NO Net2 nano detection function. It is recognised that there could be security issues if the wireless
units were detectable from outside the site. During installation, a nano unit makes a permanent one-to-one link
with a Net2Air bridge and is then enrolled into the Net2 database.
The wireless Net2 nano is fully compatible with the hard wired Net2 range but there are several important
differences that need to be understood before installing the equipment. The most important of these being the
location of the units and their bridge components.
These principles are therefore explained rst before we move on to the Net2 nano unit itself.
The readers default indication has all the LEDs on. Access granted is denoted with a single ashing Green LED,
Access Denied is a single ashing Red LED.
NOTE: A Net2 nano ACU or a Hands free interface cannot be installed in a Metal cabinet as this would block
the RF signal used for the Net2Air wireless technology.

Net2 Server
An entry is then made on the Doors screen and a special icon is used to denote the wireless connection.
Once all the ACUs have been tested and the Net2 nano powered up, the Net2Air bridges need to be congured.
A USB Net2Air bridge will be registered by the Net2 software automatically. This displays in the Net2 Server
Conguration Utility/Net2Air bridge as a xed IP entry.
Software installation
To register an Ethernet Net2Air bridge, click on Detect and setup the IP addresses as required.

Radio frequency
If you are experiencing problems with the range or reliability this may be due to poor nano / bridge positioning.
The unit is set to channel 11 (2.405 GHz) as this frequency is normally clear of other device transmissions.
Technical support can advise if you are concerned about interference from adjacent radio based (WiFi) equipment.
This product is not suitable for retail sale. All warranties are invalid if this product is not installed by a competent person.
A Nano must rst bind to a Net2Air bridge before it will enrol itself onto the Net2 system. The term ‘bind’ is used
to denote the xed relationship between a Nano and its bridge.
Create a user record in the database and assign a Net2 token to the user. If you are not using PROXIMITY tokens
you should still create the user record and assign a token number (Not a PIN) of your choice. These records can
be deleted after the installation is complete.
Connect a PROXIMITY reader to the Nano and then present the same user token previously assigned. (If you are
enrolling a Keypad only unit, enter the token number on the keypad followed by * ) The Nano will then transmit
this token number and will be looking for a response from a bridge.
If more than one bridge replies, the Nano checks the signal strength and selects the strongest bridge to
communicate with. The Net2 software conrms that this token number is in the database and if so registers this
Net2 nano/bridge as a permanent binding.
In future, if this bridge connection should fail, the Nano will NOT automatically select another bridge. You must
click Detect on the doors screen to call all the Nanos currently enrolled on the database. They will then establish
new links with the available bridges and each one will bind with the strongest signal.

Delete / Reset the Net2 nano
The Nano controller holds the address information for the bridge that it has bound with. It will therefore never
communicate with any other bridge. This can cause problems if the unit is to be used in another location.
1. If the unit is in full communication with the Net2 system you can Delete the unit on the Doors screen and
remove it from the database. This will also clear the bridge information from the Nano and return it to its factory
settings. If a valid card is presented while it is still in range of the bridge, it will rebind.
2. If the unit is not in communication with its bridge, it can be given a hardware reset by linking Orange/Mauve
on the reader port and power cycle the unit. This will clear its bridge address information.
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

Transmitter Module FCC ID: USE654943” or “Contains FCC ID: USE654943”.
1 - ACU fails to enrol onto the PC (WIRELESS PROBLEMS)
QThe Net2 Nano must be in range of a Net2Air bridge. This can be checked with a Site Surveyor. Detailed advice
Qcan be found on the website as follows:-

2 - Readers/Keypads not working
Q- Software settings - Conrm that the settings of the reader or keypad are correct.
Q- Connections - Check the wiring and integrity of the connectors. If possible, test this reader on the other unit.
Q- Cable - Belden 9540 should be used to extend the reader cable (Max 100 yds). Twisted pair alarm cable should
Q not be used. To conrm that an extended reader cable is not at fault, wire the reader direct into the reader port.
Q- Supply voltage - conrm that the reader has sufcient voltage.
Q- User token - Conrm that the user token used for testing is OK by presenting it to a known working reader.
Q- Interference - Conrm whether the reader works when tested ‘in hand’ and not mounted on the wall. Ensure
Q that readers are not mounted back to back or there is no interference from other local RF devices.
3 - Why are some of the Net2 features (e.g. Fire alarm integration) not available on Net2 nano?
QWireless communication is not suitable for saftey critical applications.
4 - Net2Air - What does this mean?
QNet2Air is a term used to describe the wireless communication protocol used by Paxton Access products in much
Qthe same way as Bluetooth. The Net2Air protocol is not open, only Paxton Access products can use this technology.
QThe Net2Air protocol is based on the standard known as IEEE 802.15.4. It operates at 2.4GHz and can co-exist
Qwith wireless LAN networks and other devices using this frequency such as DECT phones. All Paxton Access
Qproducts employ AES128 encryption technology to ensure that all communication remains secure.
