Integration with Paxton Net2🔗
Eocortex is integrated with Paxton Net2 systems.
Eocortex allows obtaining Paxton Net2 events and register them in the event log, as well as to set up a response to these events in Eocortex.
It is also possible to set sending of an Eocortex event that initiates the opening of a door to Paxton Net2.
Events log
All received events from Paxton Net2 ACS can be viewed in the Eocortex Client Events Log.
Additionally, Paxton Net2 events can be filtered in the Events log.
Configuring tasks by events
To configure tasks performed in response to events occured in the Paxton Net2 ACS, open the Eocortex Configurator application and go to the 
Automation tab. Select an individual camera or entire folder in the camera tree and switch the Tasks by event tab on the page that opens.
Create a new task by event with the Paxton Net2 event selected in the top field.
All standard actions are supported for creation of tasks by Paxton Net2 event.
The event allows setting up various runtime conditions required to met for execution. If several conditions are set, the action will be performed only if all of them are met. If no conditions are set, the action will be performed when any event from Paxton Net2 is received.

Configuring events reception in the Eocortex Configurator application
To allow the Eocortex server responding to the Paxton Net2 ACS events, run the Eocortex Configurator application and go to the Automation tab. Select the camera in the list and switch to the Integrations tabs on the page that opens.
On the tab, enable integration with Paxton using 
switch, then configure the integration by clicking 
button.
The following tabs are available in the integration settings:
General settings;
Camera settings.
The General settings tab is used for setting up the connection to the Paxton Net2 ACS server.
To configure the connection, specify the following parameters:
Paxton Net2 server address: IP address or domain name of the Paxton Net2 server
SignalR port: Paxton Net2 server connection port
REST port: Port for sending REST API requests to the Paxton Net2 server (usually the same as SignalR)
Username: Name of the Paxton Net2 account used for connection
Password: Password of the Paxton Net2 account used for connection
Client ID: Identifier contained in the Paxton Net2 license filename
To test the connection with the provided settings, click the Connect button. The Status section will display the result of the test.
If the connection is successful, further settings should be made on the Camera settings tab.
The Camera settings tab is used for setting up the registration of events from Paxton Net2 objects in Eocortex.
To receive events only from certain objects, enable the Receive events from selected objects only: option and check the selected objects.
If the Receive events from selected objects only: option is disabled, Eocortex will register all Paxton Net2 events as related to the selected camera.
Warning
Eocortex registers events for the camera independently of the settings of other cameras, so the same Paxton Net2 object can cause the reaction of the system and create an entry in the Events Log for multiple cameras simultaneously.
