2N Bluetooth & RFID Reader 125 kHz, 13.56 MHz, NFC

Elevate your access control system with the 2N Bluetooth & RFID Reader, a dedicated module designed for the 2N IP Verso and 2N LTE Verso. This versatile reader unites the power of multi-frequency RFID technology with modern Bluetooth-based access control, enabling seamless authentication for legacy cards, NFC-enabled smartphones, and other mobile credentials. By adding LF (125 kHz) and HF (13.56 MHz/NFC) capabilities to your door controllers, it creates a flexible, future-proof solution that simplifies administration, strengthens security, and improves the user experience for employees, residents, or visitors. Built to complement existing 2N infrastructure, this module integrates smoothly with your security policies and door automation, delivering fast, convenient access while maintaining rigorous control over who can enter and when.

• The heart of the module is its multi-frequency RFID reader, capable of reading both 125 kHz (low-frequency) and 13.56 MHz (high-frequency) credentials, including NFC-compatible cards and mobile wallets. This dual-band capability ensures compatibility with a broad range of existing IDs while opening the door to modern, contactless authentication methods.
• Bluetooth connectivity unlocks mobile access options, enabling users to present their credentials from smartphones or Bluetooth-enabled devices. This reduces the need for physical cards and supports contactless entry scenarios, improving convenience without compromising security.
• Designed specifically as a plug‑and‑play addition for 2N IP Verso and 2N LTE Verso door controllers, the module integrates with the 2N ecosystem to streamline setup, management, and policy enforcement. It fits neatly into standard installations and works with the same configuration tools you already rely on.
• Security and governance are central to this reader. It supports secure credential storage, encrypted communications, and audit-ready access events that feed into your existing monitoring and reporting workflows. The combination of RFID and Bluetooth credentials helps reduce risk while offering flexible authentication modes to suit different users and environments.
• Compact, robust, and unobtrusive, the module is built to withstand typical door environment conditions while staying easy to install and maintain. Its form factor is designed to work with the mounting options provided by 2N door controllers, ensuring a clean, professional look and reliable long-term operation.

How to Install 2N Bluetooth & RFID Reader

• Power down your 2N IP Verso or LTE Verso controller and gather the installation hardware that accompanies the Bluetooth & RFID Reader module.
• Identify the appropriate mounting point on or adjacent to the controller enclosure where the module can be securely attached without obstructing other components or cables.
• Connect the reader module to the 2N door controller according to the manufacturer’s installation guide, ensuring proper alignment with existing access readers and door strike wiring. Verify all connections are secure before powering the system back on.
• Power up the controller and access the 2N configuration interface. Enable the Bluetooth & RFID Reader module and configure its supported credential types (LF/HF/NFC) and any desired access policies or credential provisioning rules.
• Pair Bluetooth-enabled devices or issue NFC/mobile credentials through the 2N management platform. Test a sample entry to confirm that the reader correctly authenticates the credential and triggers the door release as configured.
• Validate cross-compatibility with existing cards and mobile wallets, and ensure there is no interference with other readers or devices on the same network. If needed, adjust field strength, timeouts, or multi-factor combinations to optimize performance in your environment.
• Document the installation in your security records and update user provisioning guidelines. Schedule firmware checks and periodic testing to maintain optimal operation and security posture.
