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.
  • 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.
