Pair your ecos key cabinets and lockers with Paxton Net2 so the people you already manage for door entry can be trusted with keys and equipment too — governed by the same rules and recorded in the same software. Once linked, ecos keeps its user list current from Net2, logs every cabinet and locker transaction back into the system, and stops assets from leaving the building unaccounted for.
GENERAL INTEGRATION
ecos and Net2 exchange data through the Paxton Net2 API. ecos reads across the users who are granted an access level covering an ecos compartment or ID plug, along with the basics that identify each person — name, e-mail and department — so the same list never has to be maintained in two places.
How it works
Point ecos webman at the Net2 Web API, entering the server address and the licence-enabled credentials Paxton requires for a connection.
Match each ecos user group to the equivalent Net2 access level, so cabinet and locker rights fall in line with door permissions.
ecos webman polls Net2 at regular intervals, updating users and their tokens automatically as records change.
Push a full record of ecos transactions back into Net2 on request, ready for reporting and review.
Key Features
Matching users from Net2
ecos only takes on a user once Net2 grants them an access level for the door, key or asset the ecos product looks after — so access mirrors the permissions Paxton already holds.
Token status checks
A token must be live for its holder to be imported; cancelled or expired tokens are skipped, so lapsed credentials never carry over into ecos.
Access levels drive entitlement
Entitlement hinges on the user's Net2 access level extending to the relevant ecos ID plug or compartment — no matching level, no access.
Events written back to Net2
Each transaction ecos records is written back to the Net2 event log, so key and asset movements sit beside door activity rather than in an isolated report.
Egress Protection
Egress protection keeps a user inside until every item has been returned to the ecos product, closing the gap on assets leaving the building.
One login. Keys, lockers and doors under a single set of rules.
Line up users and access levels with Net2, record ecos activity in the Paxton event log, and keep everyone accountable with egress protection — with no extra software to run.
