Easyprox nano reset
The Easyprox nano holds the address information for the bridge that it has bound with. It will therefore never
communicate with any other bridge. This can cause problems if the unit is to be used in another location.
The unit requires a hardware reset to clear its bridge information. This is achieved as follows:
. Remove the unit from the door by removing the 4 mounting screws on the rear lock assembly.
2. Remove the access plate at the rear of the front lock assembly (top two standoff screws).
3. Locate the reset push button at the lower right corner of the circuit board.
4. Hold the button down and wake up the unit by briefly depressing the handle. The unit will give a single beep.
5. Push the reset button 4 more times and the unit will beep 5 times and display an AMBER LED.
6. Replace the access plate.
7. Enrol the unit - as above.
8. Refit the lock to the door with the 4 mounting screws.
The access control unit connects to the Net2 software running on the PC using Paxton Access’ Net2Air proprietary
wireless technology. A Net2Air bridge enables communication from the Net2 software to the Paxton Access nano
family of products.
Radio signals do not always behave as you might expect. For example, a mobile phone that displays a full signal
on one part of the site will lose signal completely only a few feet away. These problems can be addressed by using
the Net2 site surveyor kit. (690-200-US)

The Easyprox nano is a standalone unit and stays in a sleep mode while there is no activity. The Net2 server
cannot wake up the unit. If the PIR is activated or the handle moved, it powers up the reader circuits in readiness
for a token read. Should nothing occur within 3 seconds, the unit will go back to sleep.
If a token is read, then the Easyprox nano moves into full operation. The token number is checked against the
stored database and access is granted or denied as per a standard Net2 control unit.
The Easyprox nano now sends this data via its Net2Air bridge connection to the Net2 server software and the
blue LED will flash to indicate this activity. If any updates need to be sent to the unit, including changes to the
user data, these are now transmitted back. The unit will then go back to sleep again waiting for further activity.
After hour of inactivity, the unit will send a heartbeat to the Net2 PC which responds with any updates, as
above. This keeps the Easyprox nano units updated even when there is no activity at the door. The hour delay
is mitigated by the vastly increased battery life in each unit and the fact that any user activity (card read or
handle use) will also cause an immediate update to be made. It therefore follows that a new user may need to
trigger an update before being given access through a door.
Easyprox nano / server operation
Net2Air wireless communication
Radio frequency
The unit is set to channel 11 (2.405 GHz) as this frequency is normally clear of other device transmissions.
Technical Support can advise if you are concerned about interference from adjacent radio based (WiFi) equipment.
Some of the Net2 features (e.g. Fire alarm integration, Anti-passback) are not available on Nano products as
wireless communication is not suitable for data critical applications.
During the 1 hour sleep period, any changes at the PC will not be received. If an immediate card
update is required, the unit must be woken up by means of a user card or by briefly depressing the
handle to initiate a data transfer.
To preserve battery life, a door held unlocked by a timezone will ignore the wakeup function. It will
check for updates, reducing in frequency from 1 minute to 1 hour while the door remains unlocked.
