The Eptura Visitor Net2 integration has the following prerequisites:

Networking

  • The Eptura Visitor access control client reaches out to Eptura Visitor servers via port 443. For more information on networking refer to the 'Deployment Requirements' section of the Access Control Overview.
  • The access control API listens on port 8025 by default but depending on your setup this can change. Confirm the correct port number with your access control administrator.
  • Ensure port 8025 (or an alternative if changed from the default) is open and accessible for our access control client.

Create an Eptura Visitor Operator

  • We recommend running the Eptura Visitor client with a Net2 specific operator. Create a user named "Eptura Visitor Service Account".
  • Assign the System engineer permissions to this user account under the Operators section in Net2.
  • The password for this user will only be used by our client software - you will enter these details and do not need to share them with Eptura Visitor directly.

QR Reader Setup - for QR-based access

Your QR reader should be configured with a suitable output for use with Net2 Custom Wiegand rules. See Reading QR Codes. A matching rule in the Net2 Configuration Utility must also be applied.

Using Physical Credentials - RFID Cards/Fobs

Our Access Card Manager allows physical credentials to be assigned to a visitor via the Eptura Visitor dashboard. See Access Card Manager.

Paxton supply a keyboard-output version of their desktop reader - Sales Code: 214-326 - which supports this functionality well; allowing Paxton cards to be scanned and the token number to be output to an active field in the Eptura Visitor dashboard.
