and the MAC address of the device(s) will appear in the table. You must then use the "IP address
configuration" tab to manually assign the IP address, subnet mask and gateway.
Be aware that if the IP address that you give the device is not in the same IP range as the PC, the device will no
longer respond until you connect to it with a PC that is in the same IP range.
Some firewall/virus protection software and other wireless hardware can block the IP detection process. Disable
these and try to detect the device again. Please contact Technical Support if you require further advice.
If you detect the MAC address but the device now shows 'Not Responding', you must check the IP address, to
make sure it is still in range with the PC or network. If it is not, you should either change the IP address of the
PC or the IP address of the device so they are both again in the same range. Our Technical team can talk you
through this if you need help.
If the MAC address does not appear when you click
;
Detect,
ensure that the following ports are open on all devices
between this unit and the Net2 PC:-
69
UDP
6486
TCP
6488
UDP
6489
UDP
Connecting to the PC via the Ethernet port
The IP address should be assigned a fixed value, or should be given a DHCP reservation. Unreserved IP addresses
issued by DHCP servers are not guaranteed to be constant, leading to potential failure of communication between
Net2 software and the bridge.
To configure the unit, run the Net2 Server Configuration Utility (Start/Programs/Net2) and Click on Net2Air Bridge.
If you still cannot detect the MAC address of the device, connect it directly to your PC via a network cable and call
our Technical Help line.
This unit is designed to connect to an Ethernet port and supply the data at the required communications protocol
necessary for Paxton Net2 equipment.
Installation
This unit is for Indoor use only
The unit is supplied in a plastic housing with a clip-on mounting (See Enclosure section). Suitable fasteners; two
screws and wall plugs are also provided if the base is to be fixed to a wall or ceiling.
Sounder
The device will 'beep' when detected by the Net2 Server Configuration Utility or when new IP settings are applied.
The sounder will also respond to a direct 'Ping' over the network. This is a feature to assist with finding devices
hidden from view.
