PMT Security offers a conversion service to migrate data from an Nexus220 system to an OMNIA system. It is however a limited migration and only select data is migrated.
The following data IS migrated from the IXP220 database:
The following data IS NOT migrated from the IXP220 database:
If there is a need to refer to transactions from the Nexus220 system for historical purposes, it is recommended that this is done via Nexus220 reports from the old Nexus220 database.
Hardware must be installed again the new system, doors created and assigned to areas. Areas can be linked to the migrated access groups to restore correct access assignments to tagholders.
IXP220 system controllers are not compatible with OMNIA, and must be replaced with the appropriate controller for the new system.

How to guide to convert a Nexus Lite Access Control System into an OMNIA Lite Access Control System.
Download the OMNIA Firmware Upgrade Utility below:
After Downloading the OMNA Firmware Upgrade Utility, Run the installer as Administrator.
Select the installation Language.
Accept the License Agreement and Click Next.
You may select create a desktop Shortcut, Click Next
This will install OMNIA Firmware Upgrade Utility Folder on the C: Drive
Inside the OMNIA Firmware Upgrade Utility Folder, Select OMNIA Firmware Upgrade Utility.exe
When the OMNIA Firmware Upgrade Utility opens, use the search function to find the Nexus Lite Controller.
The OMNIA Firmware Upgrade Utility will search the local network and find the Nexus Lite Controller.
Click on the Nexus Lite Controller, Select the Backup tab, Then Select Backup
Choose the location of the Nexus Lite Backup, by default the OMNIA Firmware Upgrade Utility will place the back up in the OMNIA Firmware Upgrade Utility Folder. Click Open.
The Backup Process will begin and will display a message when completed. Click OK
Unless you chose a different path in one of the previous steps, the back up will be placed inside the OMNIA Firmware Upgrade Utility Folder.
Remove the Ethernet Cable from the Nexus Lite Controller and connect it to the OMNIA Lite Controller. The APC controller will need to have the Dips Set to 0100 ( 1 off, 2 on, 3 off, and 4 off).
If there were any iTRT’s connected via RS485, move the RS485 connection to the OMNIA Lite Controller.
NOTE: You will have to change the A and B wires as the 485 Bus connection is different on the OMNIA Lite Controller
Use the OMNIA Firmware Upgrade Utility to find the OMNIA Lite Controller.
When the OMNIA lite controller is found, Click on the controller, Click on the Backup Tab, Then click restore.
Select the Location of the Nexus Lite Backup, Click Open
The backup will begin. You will receive a Device Discovery Failed message. This is normal because the Backup is changing the IP address of the OMNIA Lite Controller to the previous IP Address of the Nexus Lite Controller and the OMNIA Firmware Upgrade Utility is not finding it at the old IP address.
In the lower left of your PC you will received a message that the restore is complete.
When you use the OMNIA Lite Firmware Upgrade Utility, you will find the OMNIA Lite Controller. Notice the Controller’s name changed from OMNIA Lite to Nexus Lite, the MAC address is the MAC of the OMNIA Lite Controller, and the IP address is the IP address of the Nexus Lite Controller.
NOTE: The Nexus Lite name change is due to the Backup and does not affect the OMNIA Lite Controller.
After the backup is complete, you will need to log into OMNIA lite, update the time, run discovery and swap the reader terminals from NexusLite Board Fixed Addresses to the Wiegand Reader Modules Fixed Addresses.

How to create an input that will put the single APC Controller into Lockdown or Emergency Mode in OMNIA
Emergency
Emergency inputs are associated with fire alarms (3rd Party System Activation) or emergency call points (Manual Activation).
Activating this input will raise an Emergency event that will unlock all your
emergency doors.
In the following example, we will use the DOS (Input 1) input on a Wiegand Reader Module to activate Emergency.
REMEMBER: DOS is always input 1 and RTE is always input 2
Lockdown
Lockdown inputs are associated with Intruder/Active Shooter emergency call points.
Activating this input will raise a Lockdown event that will prevent the unlocking of your emergency doors.
In the following example, we will use the RTE (Input 2) input on a Wiegand Reader Module to activate Lockdown,
REMEMBER: DOS is always input 1 and RTE is always input 2.
Note
This method will only affect the doors connected to the same system controller
as this Wiegand Reader Module. To activate Emergency mode across multiple controllers, see Configuring Emergency Input Across Multiple Controllers
Configuring an Emergency Input
These steps apply to any reader in any profile
1. Open the Reader Profile
Select the Reader the Inputs are associated with.
2. Select Inputs then select Add Inputs.
3. Name the input.
4. Select the type of input, Lockdown or Emergency
5. Select the Contact State and Input Number
REMEMBER: DOS is always input 1 and RTE is always input 2.

Emergency and Lockdown Behavior
After creating an emergency or lockdown input, you need to decide how all your readers
will behave during Emergency Mode and Lockdown Mode.
Emergency Mode
By default, your readers will flash green but no relays will drive. The state of the relays will need to be changed.
Lockdown Mode
By default, your readers will flash red and no relays will drive
To configure the Modes: go to, Setup>Hardware>Reader Profiles> select profile >Behavior
Steps:
1. Select the Reader Profile for the readers you wish to unlock/lockdown
2. Select the Behavior then Edit Behavior
3. Search for Emergency/Lockdown
4. Select Output States
5. Select Relay Contact State then for Emergency Mode select Drive relay in this mode, for Lockdown leave section at Do Not Drive Relay
Emergency
Lockdown
Now all the readers in the selected Reader Profile will drive their relays during
Emergency Mode and will not drive relays in Lockdown Mode. Repeat these steps for any other required Reader Profiles.
