The Paxton Net2 Plus is a single-door networked access control unit featuring TCP/IP Ethernet connectivity with RJ45 plug, built-in TCP/IP converter, and RS485 daisy-chaining for additional Net2 units. Available as PCB only, in plastic housing, or in PoE+ powered metal/plastic cabinet (no separate mains backup required). Supports up to 50,000 users/tokens and stores 2,500+ events with 30-day data retention during power loss.
The Net2 Plus control unit is a networked access controller with built-in TCP/IP connectivity, eliminating the need for a separate converter, and supports RS485 daisy-chaining for additional units. It operates locally for access decisions while communicating with central software for configuration and event reporting, ensuring doors continue functioning even if network connection is lost.
It supports Ethernet (RJ45), optional PoE+, Wiegand up to 50-bit, and multiple reader and input/output connections, with diagnostic LEDs and switchable end-of-line resistors for easier installation. The unit operates in a temperature range of 0°C to +55°C and is designed for indoor use with static IP configuration recommended.
