Setting up the Net2 software
The following guide provides an overview of the steps required to configure a Net2 installation listed in the best order in which they should be performed. Detailed application notes are also provided.
- Doors
- The first section to configure when setting up a new Net2 system is Doors. Readers must be configured before areas, access levels, and other sections can be set up.
- Areas
- ‘Areas’ is a feature of Net2 Professional. If anti-passback or roll call reporting is to be used, areas and area groups need to be set up. If not, skip to creating Timezones.
- Timezones
- Timezones are different times of the day and week when access will be permitted. These should be created/edited before access levels can be fully utilized.
- Access levels
- Access levels control where in a building a user is allowed and during what times.
- Departments
- Departments allow users to be grouped enabling quick reporting and viewing of users.
- Users
- ‘Users’ are people that use the access control system. Users are identified to the system by a card, token, or PIN (or a combination of any of these). Once a user has been identified to the system, a decision can be made on whether they are permitted or denied access.
- Operators
- ‘Operators’ are users that require access to the Net2 software.
- Fire Alarm Integration
- Fire alarm integration is a feature of Net2 Professional only.
- Roll call and muster reporting
- Roll call and muster reporting is a feature of Net2 Professional and can be used in conjunction with the fire door unlock feature.
- Anti-passback
- Anti-passback is a feature of Net2 Professional that enhances the security of a site.
- Intruder alarm integration
- Net2 can be integrated with an intruder alarm to arm and disarm the system using the access control readers.
- I/O Boards
- I/O boards can be added to a Net2 system and used for any number of different applications. The boards need to be configured and can then be used in conjunction with Triggers and Actions.
- Triggers and Actions
- ‘Triggers and Actions’ is a powerful feature, used in conjunction with I/O boards, allowing Net2 to automatically control various systems around a building.
- Site Graphics
- Site Graphics provide a visual representation of the site, allowing operators to monitor events around the site at a glance.
- Cameras
- ‘Cameras’ is a feature that allows you to view live images from IP addressable cameras from within Net2.
- Camera Images Integrated with Net2 Events
- Net2 allows integration with camera software to provide digital images to be associated with an event. The camera software needs to be configured before integration with Net2 can take place.
- Timesheet
- Net2 can provide basic time and attendance reporting when used with the Net2 Events table. Users, Departments, and Operators will automatically appear in the Timesheet programs.
