About - Net2 software is designed to run on PC with a Windows XP or Windows Vista operating system. It is designed to feel immediately familiar to any Windows user. It will organise and report on up to 10,000 users and hundreds of doors. There are two versions of the software. Net2 standard software which is free and Net2 professional software. Net2 standard software contains all of the basic access control features to control access privileges and report on users. Other features include multiple workstations, Time and Attendance monitoring, IP camera integration, site graphics and remote sites using TCP/IP or modems. Net2 professional software contains all of the features of Net2 standard software with the addition of fire alarm integration, roll call/muster reporting and anti-passback.
Installation - Once the control units are wired and powered the software can be installed. A wizard manages the installation. On running the software for the first time the control units will be automatically detected. The control units are identified and named according to their serial number which is printed on each unit. Control unit names can be changed to something more meaningful. Each control unit is configured as required using the Net2 software. Operation - Net2 operators must be added. These are the users that are allowed to use the software. There are different permission levels to restrict access to certain features. Each operator must logon to the software using their user name and unique password. Operator logons are recorded in the events log. The software is designed to be intuitive to use and all but the most complex functions can be performed easily and without training.
