Requirements for the integration to work

  1. You must have set up your facility's Net2 solution on your computer/server

  2. You have enabled the Net2 API (explained here)

  3. You have obtained a fixed IP address (explained here)

If you have met the three requirements mentioned above, you can start connecting the Kinnovis Manager with your dedicated Paxton - Net2 account.


Connect to Paxton Net2

  1. Go to Connected Apps in the Kinnovis Manager.

  2. Click on "Connect" in the Paxton Net2 card.


  3. Fill out the mandatory connection fields:

    • Now select the "Locations" you wanted to connect. Note that it is possible to connect multiple locations.

    • Next, fill in the "URL" of your fixed IP address, as explained in this article.

    • Enter your Net2 credentials - "Username" and "User password".

You need to have at least "System engineer" or "System supervisor" rights in Net2 to create the connection.

4. Optional Step - Client ID: The 'Client ID' field can stay empty if you choose the default of using the licence provided by Kinnovis. Only to be filled, if you have obtained and installed your own Net2 API licence and want to use it instead of the Kinnovis one.


​5. Optional Step - Timezone Name: By default we're prefilling the "Timezone" field with "All days - All times", so there is no need to adjust this. Only in the case you want to use a different configuration fill the field with your requirements. For the case you want to use a different configuration you can find the needed name for the input here:

After you filled out all fields, click on save.

If everything went well, you should see the green button "connected" on the top right of the Paxton Net2 card.

Note: If you have multiple Paxton Net2 platforms, you can always add another connection, by clicking on the edit pencil and in the dialogue, click on "Add another Paxton Net2 connection".

Congrats 🏁 - you successfully connected to your Paxton Net2 system with Kinnovis.
