IPBridge Installation Guide (---Draft---) Page 4
1: INTRODUCTION
This document is the complete guide for mounting and
wiring the ISONAS IPBridge product models IPBridge-2
and IPBridge-3.
The IPBridge has some special capabilities that support
multiple types of input power and daisy chaining multiple
IPBridge’s together.
For this reason it is essential that you read through this
entire guide before attempting an installation.
Note: Within the Crystal Matrix 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 IPBridge:
1.Mount the IPBridge in the appropriate indoor location.
2.Supply power to the IPBridge 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 IPBridge 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 IPBridge Installation and Wiring Guide
2. A Volt-Ohm Meter
3. A laptop with Crystal Matrix installed
4. A PoE Injector
5. A Cross-over Cat5/Cat6 cable
6. A straight-thru Cat5/Cat6 patch cable.
7. Basic Ethernet network cable tester (Tests for: Opens, Shorts,
Split Pairs, Mis-wires & Reversals)
8. A spare IPBridge
9. An extra Daisy-Chain power cord
10.The ISONAS As-Built forms, which is used to record the details
of the door's installation.
The customer’s Crystal Matrix system should have Internet access. This enables the
use of on-line meeting tools, such as GoToMeeting, during any remote support
sessions.

IPBridge Installation Guide (---Draft---) Page 9
2: PHYSICAL INSTALLATION
When selecting the location where you are going to mount the ISONAS IPBridge, a
few guidelines should be observed.
1) The IPBridge should be protected from extreme heat and sunlight. It is rated
for indoor use, between -40 to 80 degrees C.
2) The IPBridge is designed to be mounted on a standard 35 mm DIN Rail.
3) Mounting the IPBridge 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 IPBridge’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 IPBRIDGE
The major steps involved with the physical mounting of the IPBridge 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 IPBridge to its DIN rail
4) Attaching the optional terminal block(s)
5) Repeat the process, for any additional IPBridges

IPBridge Installation Guide (---Draft---) Page 10
2.2: VISUAL STATUS INDICATORS
The IPBridge 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 IPBridge itself. The C & D LED pairs
indicate the status of individual doors.

3: NETWORK
The IPBridge is connected to the customer’s network using the “Upstream” RJ45
port. The IPBridge 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 Crystal Matrix PlugNPlay utility can be used to configure the IPBridge’s
network settings. See the Crystal Matrix Software Reference Manual for more
details on the PlugNPlay utility.
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 IPBridge
4) Is “Client Mode” being used?
a. Remote Host IP Address or URL
b. Remote Host IP Port
c. DNS Server IP Address

IPBridge Installation Guide (---Draft---) Page 12
3.2: DAISY-CHAINING NETWORK DEVICES
The IPBridge 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 02.
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 IPBridges, IP based cameras, etc.
The network traffic going to/from the connected devices via the “Downstream”
Port will be directed by the IPBridge through the “Upstream” port.
The “Downstream” port will be provided PoE Power; as long as the IPBridge is
being powered by PoE and sufficient power is available.
Figure 02

IPBridge Installation Guide (---Draft---) Page 13
4: IPBRIDGE POWER
The IPBridge can be powered with PoE, PoE-Plus, or DC power in the range of
12VDC to 28VDC.
4.1: PoE POWER
PoE power can used to power the IPBridge 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 IPBridge can be use two types of PoE.
13 watts of power can be supplied to the IPBridge, via a PoE network
switch that meets the IEEE 802.3af standard.
25.5 watts of power can be supplied to the IPBridge, via a PoE network
switch that meets the IEEE 802.3at standard (PoE-Plus).
The IPBridge will auto-adjust to accept the type of PoE being supplied by the
network switch.
To meet the IPBridge’s variable PoE power requirements, the IPBridge 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 IPBridge is being powered by PoE, 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 IPBridge.
oType “B” PoE is supplied downstream.

4.2: USING DC POWER
The IPBridge can be powered by external DC power. The IPBridge will accept DC
power in the range of 12VDC to 28VDC. The DC power is fed into the IPBridge
via a special coaxial cable attached to connector “AA”shown Figure 04. The
2nd end of the input power coaxial cable is attached to screw terminals on a
standard DC power supply.
Figure 04
If multiple IPBridges are being installed, the 2nd IPBridge 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 IPBridge, and then the cable is daisy-chained to
connector “AA” on the 2nd IPBridge. See Figure 05.
Figure 05
When powered with PoE, the input DC coaxial power cord is not required. If two
IPBridges 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 IPBridge 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 06.
Figure 06
The voltage supplied by the “DC” terminal connection is determined by the
method that the IPBridge is being powered.
If the IPBridge is powered with PoE, then regulated 12VDC is available on the
“DC” terminal connection
If the IPBridge is powered with DC power, then the input DC voltage is made
available on the “DC” terminal connection.
For example, if the IPBridge 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 IPBridge’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 (---Draft---) Page 19
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 IPBridge’s Signal Ground. For some
doors, only one or two ground wires are needed, and these wires can easily be
directly connected to the IPBridge’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 IPBridge.
The DIN Terminal Block is connected to one of the IPBridge’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 07.
Figure 07
5: IPBRIDGE 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 IPBridge 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 IPBridge. Controlling light and
sound status indicators on the Wiegand device are currently not supported.

IPBridge Installation Guide (---Draft---) Page 20
5.1: DOOR LOCK RELAY
The IPBridge is equipped with a lock-relay for each door lock supported. The
relay is a Form C relay that is rated for 2.0 amps at 30 VDC.
Connections to the relay’s “Normally Closed”, “Common”, and “Normally Open”
contacts are available on the terminal strip and are labeled as “NC”, “COM” and
“NO” respectively. See Figure 08.
Figure 08
A block-diagram of the lock-relay is shown in Figure 09. The relay provides a
“dry contact”. For many installations, the IPBridge will be supplying the DC
power for the door lock. For these installs, a wire jumper will be placed between
the “DC” and “COM” terminal connections.
Figure 09
