How to use
The 2N Access Unit 2.0 is installed at entry points such as doors or turnstiles. Once connected to the central access control system, users can authenticate using their preferred method, such as a proximity card, a mobile device via Bluetooth, or an NFC-enabled smartphone. The reader processes the credential data and communicates with the controller to grant or deny access based on pre-configured security policies.
What to consider before purchase
- Verify compatibility with your existing access control controller
- Ensure the chosen mounting location supports the required wiring
- Confirm which credential types (RFID, mobile) will be used by occupants
- Check if additional software configuration is needed for PICard integration
Usage recommendations
For optimal performance and security, ensure the reader is installed away from direct interference sources and that all firmware is updated to the latest version provided by the manufacturer.
