Paxton Net 2 Door Controller

Flexible, reliable door control for Paxton’s Net 2 door controller access system.
The Paxton Net 2 Door Controller provides a simple way to manage who can enter your building, and when. Designed to work seamlessly with the Net2 software, it offers full visibility of events, secure door control, and easy integration with other building systems.

Why choose the Paxton Net 2 Door Controller?

  • Scalable solution  – Add multiple controllers to your Net2 network, supporting small sites with a few doors right through to enterprise-level systems with hundreds of access points.

  • Secure by design – Controllers store their own access permissions, meaning doors stay secure even if the network connection is lost.

  • Flexible connectivity – Options available for TCP/IP, RS485, or wireless Net2Air communication.

  • User-friendly management  – Administrators can set schedules, permissions, and zones via the intuitive Net2 software.

  • Seamless integration – Works with readers, keypads, and door hardware to provide a complete access control solution.

  • Failsafe operation – Onboard backup battery options (depending on model) ensure continued operation during power interruptions.

How it works

  1. A credential (card, fob, or PIN) is presented at the reader.

  2. The reader sends the data to the Net2 Controller.

  3. The controller checks permissions stored locally.

  4. If access is granted, the controller triggers the door lock relay to open.

  5. All events are logged centrally in the Net2 software for reporting and monitoring.
