Paxton Net2 Access Control

[andyturpie]

*Sorry admin if I haven't posted in the correct section, please feel free to move somewhere else.

 

I am looking for other users who use Net2 access control on their networks. We have installed ours on our print server (VM) plus we have a few others who use the client install on their PCs as we have our repographics lady who creates and prints the entry cards, site manager who would perform a lock down in an emergency etc. The problem is that the clients either keep getting kicked out the sessions or they cannot log in at all. I believe the software just isn't multi session, so I was wondering how you all manage your system, where or what you have the backend installed on and how you over came hurdles to make the operation a bit smoother than ours is at the moment lol.

 

TIA

We have it installed on a dedicated machine in our server room. Then the client is installed on my machine and our site manager's machine. We've never had any issues like you describe though. Then again, we only go into it for a few minutes at a time generally! We don't use it to print the cards etc... - just to add them to people.

Thanks for the swift response; do you know what flavour and version you are running?

@andyturpie are the clients being logged in as different users? Thats the only thing I can think of. Guessing a single user might get locked out if logged on elsewhere.

I had a little bit of that at one point.

 

One thing I've done is changed the client to use IP instead of server name to connect to.

 

No problems recently.

Afternoon peeps,

 

Sorry for the tardy response, this is due to multiple things going on at once; I have tried howartp's advice above of using the IP address instead of the DNS name and that seemed to settle the sessions as far as I can tell. Happy days for the end users!
