The Net2 485 TCP/IP ethernet interface allows communication between the Net2 server PC and control units across a TCP/IP ethernet network. Where a PC network already exists this can be a very convenient solution. A single Net2 system can comprise of up to 16 datalines each connecting to the PC network using a 485 TCP/IP interface.
Installation - The 485 TCP/IP interface connects to the PC network using standard CAT5 cable with an RJ45 connector. The interface has labelled terminals for connection to the Net2 dataline.
The 485 TCP/IP interface can either be given a fixed IP address or use a DHCP server to get an address. All configuration of the unit is done using the Net2 software.
Operation - Once the Net2 485 TCP/IP interface has been configured, the operation of the control units is exactly the same as if connected directly to the PC. If the PC network fails then the control units will continue to operate as normal; permitting or denying access to users and buffering events.
