Description
The IP150+ Internet Module provides access to Paradox systems. With the IP150+, connecting to a
system is possible with the Insite GOLD application, PC software for programming, upgrade and
monitoring, as well as reporting to the central station by connecting to Paradox receivers.
Before You Begin (Static Mode Only)
Make sure you have the following in order to configure your IP150+ Internet Module:
• Router
• 4-pin serial cable (included)
• CAT5 Ethernet cable (maximum 90m (295 ft.), not included)
• Insite Gold app
• Paradox IP Exploring Tools Software (required for remote access)
• Connect IP150+ to the serial port on your panel and Ethernet port of your router

Installation
Figure 3 - Metal and Plastic Box Installation
To connect and install the IP150+:
1) Connect the 4-pin serial cable between the panel’s serial connector and the IP150+’s panel
connector.
2) Connect the Ethernet cable between the router and the IP150+’s network connector.
3) The on-board LEDs will illuminate to indicate the IP150+’s status.
4) Clip the IP150+ to the top of the metal box or plastic box, as shown in Figure 3.
LED Indicators
Reset IP150+ to Default Settings
To reset the IP150+ module to its default settings, ensure that the module is turned on and then insert a
pin/straightened paper clip (or similar) into the pinhole located between the two I/O LEDs. Press down
gently until you feel some resistance; hold it down for approximately five seconds. When the I/O and RX/
TX LEDs start flashing, release it and then press it again (figure 2). The I/O and RX/TX LEDs will remain lit
during the reset.
Reset IP150+ to Default Firmware Version
To reset the IP150+ module to its default firmware version, unplug the power cable from the panel and
insert a pin/straightened paper clip (or similar object) into the pinhole located between the two I/O LEDs.
Press down gently until you feel some resistance; plug in the power cable while holding the pin down for
approximately five seconds and release it when the I/O 2 LED starts flashing (figure 2). The I/O LED will
turn solid and start blinking (resetting to the backup version). Once complete, the IP150+ will reboot
automatically to the default firmware version.
IP Reporting
When using IP reporting, the IP150+ has the ability to poll the monitoring station. To enable IP reporting,
the IP150+ must first be registered to the monitoring station’s IP Receiver (IPR512) or to the IPRS-7
software. Telephone reporting can be used in conjunction with, or as a backup to IP reporting. Before
registering the IP150+, the following information must be obtained from the monitoring station:
• Account number(s) - One account number for each partition used. IP/GPRS reporting uses a different
set of account numbers than those used for dialer reporting.
• IP address(es) - (12-digit number e.g., for 195.4.8.250 you must enter 195.004.008.250). The IP
address(es) indicate(s) which of the monitoring station’s IP Receivers will be used for IP reporting.
• IP port(s) (5-digit number; for 4-digit numbers, enter 0 before the first digit). The IP port refers to the
port used by the monitoring station’s IP Receiver.
• Receiver password(s) (up to 32-digits). The receiver password is used to encrypt the IP150+
registration process.
• Security profile(s) (2-digit number). The security profile indicates how frequently the monitoring station
is polled by the IP150+. Security profile numbers and polling frequency are defined by the monitoring
station.
Setting Up IP Reporting
1) Ensure the panel’s report code format is set to Ademco Contact ID:
MG/SP: section [810]
EVO: section [3070]
2) Enter the IP reporting account numbers (one for each partition):
MG/SP: section [918] / [919]
EVO: section [2976] to [2983]
Please make sure that reporting codes are programmed in the panel, refer to the corresponding
Programming Guide for more details.
In the General IP Options section, set up IP line monitoring options and dialer options, and ensure IP
reporting is enabled (refer to the following tables).
MG/SP: section [806]
EVO: section [2975]
4) Enter the monitoring station’s IP address(es), IP port(s), receiver password(s), and security profile(s)
(information must be obtained from the monitoring station).
5) Register the IP150+ module with the monitoring station. To register, enter the sections below and
press [ARM]. The registration status is displayed as well as any registration errors.
NOTES:
An IP150+ used with an MG/SP system will always poll using the partition 1 IP account number. When
using an EVO system, the partition 1 IP account is used by default, but can be defined in section [3020].
All reported system events will originate from the partition selected in this section.
Remote Access (Static Mode Only)
In order to configure your system for remote access you will need IP Exploring Tools, a web browser and
access to your router. The following steps will guide you in setting up remote access.
Step 1: Setting up the Router
This step allows you to set up the router so that the IP150+ module can function properly.
1) Ensure the router is connected properly as indicated in the router’s instructions.
2) Access your router’s configuration page. Refer to your router’s manual for the exact procedure. In
most cases, this is done by entering the router’s static IP address in the address bar of your Web
browser. For this instance, we will use 192.168.1.1 as an example for the router’s IP address that may
be indicated in the router’s instructions or on a sticker on the router. Enter the monitoring station’s IP.

3) In the router’s configuration page, check the DHCP settings (screen shot below may differ depending
on type of router used).
Figure 4 - DHCP Settings
If DHCP is enabled, verify that the IP address range leaves at least one IP address available outside of
the range. The range shown in the above example would leave addresses 2 to 4 and 101 to 254 available
(all the numbers in an IP address are between 1 and 254). Record one of the addresses outside the
DHCP range as the one you will use for the IP150+. If DHCP is disabled, the IP150+ will use a random IP
address. It is possible to change that address if needed using the Paradox IP Exploring Tools software.
4) In the router’s configuration page, go to the Port Range Forwarding section (also known as “port
mapping” or “port redirection”). Add a service/item, set the Port to 80 and enter the static IP address
selected in the previous step for the IP module. If port 80 is already used, you can use another one,
such as 81 or 82 but you will have to modify the IP150+’s settings in step 2. Some Internet Service
Providers block port 80, therefore the IP150+ may function locally using port 80 but not over the
Internet. If this is the case, change the port to another number. Repeat this step for port 10 000
(screenshot below may differ depending on type of router used). Also, repeat this step for port 443 if
using a secure connection (https).
Figure 5 - Port Range Forwarding
Step 2: Configuring the IP150+
1) Using a computer connected to the same network as the IP150+, open the Paradox IP Exploring
To o l s .
2) Click Find It. Your IP150+ appears in the list.
Figure 6 - IP Exploring Tools
3) Right-click your IP150+ and select Module setup, refer to screen shot below. Enter the static IP
address you recorded in Step 1.3 or modify the address so that it corresponds to the one you have
selected for the IP150+. Enter the IP150+’s password (default: paradox) and click OK. If it indicates
that the IP address is already used, change it to another and modify it in the Port Forwarding of the
router (Step 1.4) and go back to Step 2.1.
4) Set any additional information such as port, subnet mask, etc. To find this information, click Start >
Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt. Enter command: IPCONFIG /ALL (with space after
IPCONFIG).
NOTE: For increased communication security, please change the default PC password and Panel ID in
the control panel. Also, note that the IP150+ supports SMTP/ESMTP/SSL/TLS protocols.

Step 3: Using a Web Browser to Access the System
Once the module is configured, it can be accessed either from the local network or through the internet
using the alarm system’s master code.
On-Site Access:
1) Enter the IP address assigned to the IP150+ in the address bar of your Web browser. If you have
used a port other than port 80, you must add [: port number] at the end. (For example, if the port used
is 81, the IP address entered should look like this: http://192.168.1.250:81).
or
Use the Paradox IP Exploring Tools software, click Refresh and double-click on your IP150+ in the
list.
2) Enter your alarm system’s User Code.
WARNING: A pop-up warning you that the website’s certificate is not secure may occur. This is
