Paxton Net2 Pro - any known annoyances/design issues from an IT POV?


Recommended Posts

Fitting it does look quite easily but the integration to fire alarm I would leave to the professionals. If anything is affected by your work on the fire alarm you can be held personally responsible.

 

You can set different things, I have worked in a number of secure locations that didn't have them release in a fire as certain individuals would escape.

we are running Paxton server on windows10 ltsb on hyper v with 1gb ram, you dont need anything powerfull to run it.

 

we installed our doors ourself, once you have done the 1st one the rest are easy!

Net2 seems to have stopped reading cards on our Win 7 PC since the latest Windows Updates, meaning we can't make changes. It's also on a Win 10 box which has been fine. Just curious to see if anyone else has seen this?

We were informed this may happen by our door access/CCTV installer when the system first went in. He advised to disable Windows Update. Not ideal but as the PC is only used as a CCTV monitoring station/door access card programming station, it never needs to get out to the internet anyway.

 

Also on Win7.

That's the main problem, their software is terrible, if you can't cope with simple updates what are you doing? There's programs from 1995 that still run on Windows 10

Im currently looking at Paxton with the option of integrating with our cunninghams system. is the integration worth spending £2500 on??

 

we have ours intergrated and i have to say its brilliant combined with the card printer... though ours was paid as part of a project by the lea so i didnt know the price of it.. i would recommend it tho.

We've just integrated NRS with Papercut and (about to do) Paxton and Inventry.

 

Loving the process of reprinting cards and it updating all the databases.

For those of you with the software on a server (presumably virtual and/or in a remote server room), how did you get the token info from the Paxton reader > Net2 software?

 

Did you sling a local install on a PC, import/create the users and then export the CSV to the server?

 

Poking around with RDP options, the reader doesn't present to the remote server using the "smartcard" or "other pluggable devices" options, which is annoying if not entirely unexpected.

You can install the Net2 client software on as many PCs as you want; it's one of the options when you run setup.exe

 

Therefore the Desktop reader just plugs into your client copy of the software on your own PC.

The other way round in that it goes from Active Directory to Net2, PaperCut, NRS etc.

 

Used this:

Net2 Solutions - Paxton Net2 Active Directory Synchronisation server
