Net2 BoomGate Interface
Previous  Top  Next

 
This interface is designed to work only with the NET2 system as supplied by Paxton Access Ltd and will not function for other interfaces.  
 
The system is currently limited to PIN number access only.  
 
RMS is able to communicate to the Net2 system for the purpose of creating and maintaining new user records.  
Movement of people though each door/gate is fully recorded by the Net2 software and is not reflected in RMS.  
 
Requirements  
1.   A fully operationally and configured Net2 system  
2.   Access to the Net2 system database (net2system.mdb) through the use of a UNC network path from ALL RMS terminals – i.e. \\server\net2 Access Control\net2system.mdb  
3.   RMS creates 4 digit PIN's when using the Net2 system – you cannot generate longer numbers.

Set Up of RMS – Net2 User Groups  
In the net2 software it is possible to configure different groups of users.  
This assists with the location of individual users.  
RMS is able to load users directly into the appropriate Group based on the Client Status that is set up for each client within RMS.  
 
Please note. The spelling and capitalization of the Client Status (RMS) and Group (Net2) must be exactly the same, otherwise RMS will not be able to locate the appropriate group in the Net2 system.  
 
To set up client status' in RMS you need to load them as per your client grouping in the Net2 system.  
 
1.   Go to the Set Up menu in RMS and select Client Status  
2.   Add the matching Status' as per your Groups in the Net2 System (see Below)  
 
net2usergroups  
 
net2clientstatus  
 
Note: The Group in the Net2 system called UnKnown will be automatically created by RMS if the user that you are adding as not part of a Group (i.e. you do not select a Client Status in RMS) or if the Client Status that you have selected in RMS does not exist in the Net2 System.  
 
When you load a new reservation (or edit an existing reservation) you are able to select the client Status so that when you load a new registration and PIN it is loaded against the correct Net2 User Group.

Set Up of RMS – Net2 Access Levels  
RMS is able to load a new user into the Net2 system with a specific access level so that they can only use certain doors at certain times.  
These are loaded into the Net2 Software under the Access Levels area  
 
net2bgaccesscontrol  
 
These Access Levels are known in RMS as ZONES which can be set up in the RMS system under the boomgate set up area.  
 
1.   Go to the Set Up Menu and select Boomgates  
2.   Select Zones and Load each of the Zones exactly as it is loaded in the Net2 System.  
Note: It is not necessary to select any devices, simply type in the zone name and press save.  
 
net2bgzones  
 
Zones are attached to each Area in the RMS system, so that when you make a reservation on a particular Area it will automatically select what ZONE it is for, although this can be overridden on a case by case basis.  
 
To attach the Zones to the areas please follow these steps.  
 
1.   Go to the Set Up Menu and press Category/Area  
2.   Highlight the category of Areas that you wish to Edit and press the Area (Site/Pitch) button on the bottom of the screen.  
3.   You will now see a list of Areas belonging to that Category.  
4.   Highlight the Area you wish to set and press Edit  
5.   Set the Zone appropriately – Note. A Zone of All will load the user as All hours All doors

Notes:  
You can load as many Rego/PIN records against each reservation as you wish, however they will be shown in the Net2 system as a second record for that User.  
 
If a Rego is loaded with the Access Zone set to ALL that user will be loaded into the Net2 system under All hours, All Doors  
 
The View History button on the Rego TAB of the RMS reservation screen is non functional for this interface, as is the Current Status. This information is held within the Net2 system.
