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 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

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.
