Description
Net2 is a networked access control system. A networked system gives the advantages of central control, event reporting and flexible control over users’ access. Each control unit is part of a network but can run independently making its own decisions and remembering events.\r\n\r\nThe Net2 Plus control unit connects to the central administration PC using an RJ45 plug into a standard TCP/IP Ethernet network. This greatly increases the flexibility of installation options on sites that have LAN/WAN networks. The Net2 plus control unit also has a RS485 connection. This means it can be connected to other Net2 plus or Net2 classic control units using a dedicated CAT5 cable.\r\n\r\nOne Net2 Plus control unit can be the network interface to the LAN and also run a wired RS485 daisy chain of other Net2 Plus or Net2 classic units, removing the need for an independent TCP/IP to RS485 converter. Net2 Plus is also available with a Power over Ethernet (PoE) power supply. PoE is a technology that allows both power and data to be passed along Ethernet cabling. Net2 Plus with PoE simply plugs straight into the existing LAN using a standard RJ45 plug (providing it is powered by either a compatible PoE switch or a PoE injector).\r\n\r\nNet2 Plus is available as: a PCB only, or supplied in a metal or plastic cabinet with or without a power supply (2A or PoE+). Please note: the cabinets are not available for individual sale.
