1: INTRODUCTION
This document is the complete guide for mounting and
wiring the ISONAS IP-Bridge product models IP-
Bridge-2 and IP-Bridge-3.
The IP-Bridge has some special capabilities that support
multiple types of input power and daisy chaining multiple
IP-Bridge’s together.
For this reason, it is essential that you read through this
entire guide before attempting an installation.
Note: Within the Pure Access Software package, these
models use the abbreviated model labels IPBR-2 & IPBR-3.
1.1: BEFORE YOU BEGIN
The following core tasks are involved when installing an ISONAS IP-
Bridge: 1.Mount the IP-Bridge in the appropriate indoor location.
2. Supply power to the IP-Bridge unit. This may be accomplished with
power being provided on the Ethernet data cable (Power over Ethernet
[PoE]) or through an external DC power source (12VDC or 24VDC)
3. Wire the IP-Bridge to the door’s locks and other components required
for physical access control.
4. Connect the unit to the data network for communication with the host
workstation.
This guide discusses each process separately. Understanding all of these
processes makes a project much simpler and guarantees success.

1.2: GENERAL REQUIREMENTS:
 If PoE is not being used, then use only UL-listed, access control, power-
limited power supplies with an ‘AC on’ indicator light clearly visible on the
enclosure. ISONAS recommends that Power supplies should provide at least
four hours of standby power.
 Never connect power supplies to a switch-controlled receptacle.
 Install the ISONAS system in accordance with the National Electrical Code
NFPA 70. (Local authority has jurisdiction.)
 Use only wire or UL-listed cabling recognized as suitable for ISONAS power
supply and data communications, in accordance with the National Electrical
Code.
 Where possible, separate ISONAS equipment and cabling from sources of
electromagnetic interference (EMI). Where this is not possible, take other steps
to reduce the effect of EMI on cabling or equipment.
 Protect input and output terminals adequately from transient signals. Also,
connect these terminals to power-limited circuitry.

1.4: INSTALLER TOOLKIT COMPONENTS
Before an installer goes to a customer site, they need to put together their supplies
and tool-kit. The ISONAS solution is simpler to install than other Access Control
Systems, but materials are still needed. And some of those materials may be
different than what you are use to carrying. The list below identifies some important
items that you should make sure to bring with you, to the customer’s site.
A prepared installer will have:
Installer completed the on-line reseller training program.
An installer’s Tool Kit should include the following:
1. The copy of the IP-Bridge Installation and Wiring Guide
2. A Volt-Ohm Meter
3. A PoE Injector
4. A Cross-over Cat5/Cat6 cable
5. A straight-thru Cat5/Cat6 patch cable.
6. Basic Ethernet network cable tester (Tests for: Opens, Shorts,
Split Pairs, Mis-wires & Reversals)
7. A spare IP-Bridge
8. An extra Daisy-Chain power cord
9. The ISONAS As-Built forms, which is used to record the details
of the door's installation.
The customer’s site should have Internet access. This enables the use of on-line
meeting tools, such as GoToMeeting, during any remote support sessions.

IPBridge Installation Guide

2: PHYSICAL INSTALLATION
When selecting the location where you are going to mount the ISONAS IP-Bridge,
a few guidelines should be observed.
1) The IP-Bridge should be protected from extreme heat and sunlight. It is
rated for indoor use, between -40 to 80 degrees C.
2) The IP-Bridge is designed to be mounted on a standard 35 mm DIN Rail.
3) Mounting the IP-Bridge inside of a control cabinet or a NEMA housing
is recommended.
4) When planning a project’s DIN rail layout, determine if the door device’s
electrical return connections will be terminated by the optional modular DIN
terminal blocks. If so, adjust the IP-Bridge’s location on the DIN rail to
allow space for the modular terminal blocks.
5) The IP-Bridge should be located within a 500 foot cable length of the devices
being controlled.
2.1: MOUNTING THE IP-BRIDGE
The major steps involved with the physical mounting of the IP-Bridge include:
1) Planning the location of the DIN rail(s)
a. Typically inside a control cabinet, or NEMA housing.
2) Attaching the DIN rails to housing’s mounting surface
3) Snapping the IP-Bridge to its DIN rail
4) Attaching the optional terminal block(s)
5) Repeat the process, for any additional IP-Bridges

2.2: VISUAL STATUS INDICATORS
The IP-Bridge has multiple LED status indicators to assist in monitoring and
troubleshooting the status of the unit. LED’s are labeled in Figure 01. LED’s A
and B are used to indicate the status of the IP-Bridge itself. The C & D LED
pairs indicate the status of individual doors.

2.3: IP-BRIDGE RESET BUTTON
The PowerNet IP-Bridge has a recessed reset-button located in the position shown on
Figure 02. It can be used for two different types of resets.
It is helpful to monitoring the amber LAN status LED allows you to determine the
status of the reset operation.
 Reset CPU: Press, hold (approx. 2 seconds) and release the Reset button.
Once the Reset Button is released, all the door status LED’s will turn amber, and
in 15 seconds return to the normal display. If the door’s LEDs do not turn
amber, then the reset did not occur.
 Reset Configuration: Press and hold the Reset button (approx. 10 seconds),
until all door status LED’s turn Amber. After the LED’s turn Amber, release the
Reset button. Selected IP-Bridge configurations are reset to factory defaults.

3: NETWORK
The IP-Bridge is connected to the customer’s network using the “Upstream”
RJ45 port. The IP-Bridge network connection auto-detects the speed
between 10MB or 100MB, depending on the speed capabilities of the customer’s
network.
3.1: NETWORK CONFIGURATION
The ISONAS Configuration utility tool can be used to configure the IP-Bridge’s
network settings. Here is more information on configuring IP-Bridges to Pure
Access.
Items that may be configured include:
1) Is DHCP being used?
a. Host computer’s IP Address, or network alias
2) If DHCP is not used:
a. Static IP Address.
b. Subnet Mask.
c. Gateway Address.
3) IP Port used by the IP-Bridge
4) Is “Client Mode” being used?
a. Remote Host IP Address or URL
b. Remote Host IP Port
c. DNS Server IP Address
3.2: DAISY-CHAINING NETWORK DEVICES
The IP-Bridge supplies the functionality of a two-port network switch. It has
two physical RJ45 ports or sockets labeled “Upstream” and “Downstream” as
shown in Figure 03.
The “Upstream” RJ45 port is used to connect to the customer’s network. Some
network switches label this as the “uplink” port.
The “Downstream” RJ45 port is used to connect to other Ethernet devices; such
as additional IP-Bridges, IP based cameras, etc.
The network traffic going to/from the connected devices via the “Downstream”
Port will be directed by the IP-Bridge through the “Upstream” port.
The “Downstream” port will be provided PoE Power; as long as the IP-Bridge is
being powered by PoE and sufficient power is available. It is possible to disable
the PoE feed going out of the downstream port.

IPBridge Installation Guide
Page 13
Figure 03
4: IP-BRIDGE POWER
The IP-Bridge can be powered with PoE, PoE-Plus, or DC power in the range
of 12VDC to 28VDC.
NOTE: DO NOT power the IP-Bridge with PoE and 24VDC. If you are powering
with external power, please ensure your network cable is providing data only.
Using PoE and 24VDc will void the warranty.
4.1: PoE POWER
PoE power can used to power the IP-Bridge itself and is commonly used
to provide power to the components at the door, such as an electric lock,
a Wiegand device, and/or a passive infrared motion detector.
The IP-Bridge can be use two types of PoE.
PoE ( IEEE 802.3af ) --- 13 watts of power can be supplied to the
IP-Bridge, via a PoE network switch that meets the 802.3af
standard. 13 watts is enough power for the IP-Bridge itself and a
single door’s typical hardware (dumb-reader and lock).
PoE-Plus ( IEEE 802.3at ) --- 25.5 watts of power can be supplied
to the IP-Bridge, via a PoE network switch that meets the 802.3at
standard.
The IP-Bridge will auto-adjust to accept the type of PoE being supplied by the
network switch.

IPBridge Installation Guide
Page 14
To meet the IP-Bridge’s variable PoE power requirements, the IP-Bridge
will classify itself with the PoE source as a “Class 0” PoE device, or “Class
4”
PoE-Plus device. The power usage of a Class 0 PoE device can range
between 0.4 to 13.0 watts at the device. The power usage of a Class 4 PoE-
Plus device can range between 12.95 to 25.5 watts at the device.
4.1.1: PoE POWER CALCULATIONS
When the IP-Bridge is being powered by PoE-Plus, it can supply power to
external devices thru three different methods.
 The 10VDC output for the Wiegand devices (via the “DC-R” terminal)
 The 12VDC output for other devices. (via the “DC” terminal)
 PoE power to network devices that are daisy-chained to the IP-Bridge.
o Type “B” PoE is supplied downstream.
o Jumper Pin adjustment is required (See next section)

4.1.2: CONTROLLING DOWNSTREAM PoE
The IP-Bridge is able to pass all excess PoE power out the downstream RJ45
connector. This is done with a passive type of PoE, and PoE device-detection
is not supported.
A jumper pin (JP-1) is used to enable or disable the downstream port’s PoE
power feed. JP-1 is located inside the IP-Bridge. Refer to Figure 05.
To reach the jumper, use a small screwdriver to pry the cover up at the
points indicated (Start at point #1).
To enable the provisioning of PoE power out the downstream RJ45 port, place
a jumper across pins 2 & 3 of JP-1.
Figure 05
Removing the jumper from JP-1 will disable the flow of PoE power out the
downstream RJ45 port.

IPBridge Installation Guide
Page 17
4.2: USING DC POWER
The IP-Bridge can be powered by external DC power. The IP-Bridge will accept
DC power in the range of 12VDC to 28VDC. The DC power is fed into the IP-
Bridge via a special coaxial cable attached to connector “AA” shown Figure 06.
The
2nd end of the input power coaxial cable is attached to screw terminals on a
standard DC power supply.
Figure 06
If multiple IP-Bridges are being installed, the 2nd IP-Bridge can be powered with a
short coaxial cable such as the one Isonas sells. One end of the cable is attached
to connector “BB” on the 1st IP-Bridge, and then the cable is daisy-chained to
connector “AA” on the 2nd IP-Bridge. See Figure 07.
Figure 07
When powered with PoE, the input DC coaxial power cord is not required. If two
IP-Bridges are daisy-changed, and are using PoE, the coaxial daisy-chain power
cord is not required. Please note that the daisy-chained power connection is
rated for 4.0 A @ 12VDC (2.0 A @ 24VDC).

4.3.2: DC POWER FOR THE DOOR COMPONENTS
The IP-Bridge can supply DC power for external devices. This power is
made available to each door at the terminal connectors labeled “DC” and
“GND”. See Figure 08.
Figure 08
The voltage supplied by the “DC” terminal connection is determined by the
method that the IP-Bridge is being powered.
If the IP-Bridge is powered with PoE, then regulated 12VDC is available on
the “DC” terminal connection
If the IP-Bridge is powered with DC power, then the input DC voltage is
made available on the “DC” terminal connection.
For example, if the IP-Bridge is receiving 24VDC thru its
coaxial power cord, then the “DC” terminal will supply 24VDC.
The “DC” power’s return connection will be attached to the IP-Bridge’s Signal
Ground. See the next “Signal Ground Connections ” section of the manual for
more information regarding this part of the connection.

IPBridge Installation Guide
Page 21
4.3.3: SIGNAL GROUND CONNECTIONS
In order for the electrical signals going to the door’s components to function,
they need to have a connection to the IP-Bridge’s Signal Ground. For some
doors, only one or two ground wires are needed, and these wires can easily be
directly connected to the IP-Bridge’s “Gnd” terminals.
Other installations may require multiple electrical connections, with each
requiring a connection to the Signal Ground. To support this, an optional DIN
Terminal block can be mounted next to the IP-Bridge.
The DIN Terminal Block is connected to one of the IP-Bridge’s Signal Ground
terminals. Up to 15 each, 22 gage wires can be connected to a single connection
on the DIN terminal block. See Figure 09.
Figure 09
5: IP-BRIDGE DOOR OUTPUTS
Warning: The IP–Bridge should not be powered until all connections have
been made and tested. Remove power prior to changing any connections.
The IP-Bridge can control and power multiple items at the door. Control of
standard electrical locks is supported. Supplying electrical power and additional
logic outputs are also features provided by the IP-Bridge. Controlling light and
sound status indicators on the Wiegand device are currently not supported.
