BETA VERSION
For latest manual updates, please refer to paradox.com/Manuals/IP180.pdf.
Thank you for choosing Paradox Security Systems products. The following manual describes the connections and programming for the IP180
Internet Module. For any comments or suggestions, send an email to [e-mail].
Introduction
The IP180 Internet Module provides access to Paradox systems and replaces the previous IP150 reporting devices. The IP180 has built-in
Wi-Fi, a Wi-Fi Antenna kit may be purchased separately. The IP180 reports only to the IPC10 Paradox receiver/converter, BabyWare, and
communicates with the BlueEye application. IP180 uses an encrypted supervised connection with the IPC10 PC and BlueEye, based on MQTT
technology making it stable, fast, and reliable. The IP180 is remotely upgradable from InField and the BlueEye application. The IP180 supports
all Paradox + panels and should operate with most Paradox panels produced after 2012.
THING YOU SHOULD KNOW, PLEASE READ:
While the IP180 programming is similar to the IP150, there are some differences you should know:
•IP180 does not support “Combo” mode, there is no serial output. A system with a combo connection cannot be upgraded to IP180
without upgrading the panel to + with two serial outputs.
•The IP180, due to its nature, cannot support local closed networks. Paradox will offer future local solutions for closed networks.
•For Beta testing, static IP is not supported.
•IP180 reports in Contact ID format only to the IPC10 (make sure the panel is set to Contact ID reporting), and from IPC10 to CMS
MLR2-DG or Ademco 685.
•IP180 Beta supports and supervises up to three IPC10 reporting receivers and upon release will support up to four receivers (IP150+
Future MQTT version supports only two receivers).
•When IP180 is connected, only the BlueEye application will connect; Insite Gold will not connect to the IP180.
•When connected to a + panel, it is recommended to connect the IP180 to Serial-1 (main channel) and PCS265 V8 (MQTT version) to
Serial-2. It is not possible to mix MQTT reporting devices and previous reporting devices on the same panel.
FOR BETA:
If you upgraded/installed the IP180 and wish to revert to IP150, please see the “Reverting to Classic” section in this manual.
Programming of the IP180 can be only from a keypad and BabyWare. BlueEye can now configure emails, and upon beta completion all
programming can be made from the BlueEye app as well.
NOTE: The IPC10 can only receive CONTACT ID format. Please make sure the reporting format is set to CID.

Before You Begin
Make sure you have the following to configure your IP180 Internet Module:
• 4-pin serial cable (included)
• Ethernet network connection or forWi-Fi connection,Wi-Fi network credentials, and have Wi-Fi antenna kit
• BlueEye app installed on your smartphone

Installation
IP180
The IP180 should be installed in the panel metal box enclosure to be tamper-protected. Clip the IP180 to the top of the metal box, as shown in
Figure 3.
Serial to the Panel
Connect the serial output of the IP180 to the Serial port of the Paradox panels. If it is Paradox + Series, connect it to Serial1 as it is the main
reporting channel, as shown in Figure 2. If the panel is powered up, the on-board LEDs will illuminate to indicate the IP180’s status.
Ethernet
If you are using an Ethernet cable connection, connect it to an active Ethernet socket and the left side of the IP180, as shown in
Figure 2. If you are using a Wi-Fi connection as well, you can configure the Wi-Fi via the application once ethernet is connected and the
internet is available.
Wi-Fi
The Antenna kit is sold separately. To use wifi, drill a ¼” hole on top or side of the metal box, pass the antenna extension wire through the hole and
secure the socket to the metal box. Secure the Wi-Fi antenna to the plug and connect the other side of the cable gently to the IP180; it uses a
“push and click” mechanism, as shown in Figure 4.
Note: The Wi-Fi antenna is installed on the outside of the metal box and not inside the metal box. The antenna is not included and should be
purchased separately from the distributor. To register into the Wi-Fi network without ethernet please open BlueEye.

Attaching the IP180 to the Panel
In order to connect the IP180, plug in the Serial cable to panel, refer to Figure 2.After a few seconds, the RX/TX LED starts flashing; this
indicates that the IP180 is powered and is communicating with the panel.

To connect the IP180 over Ethernet
1) Connect the Ethernet cable to the IP180. Green or yellow LEDs on the socket must light up indicating connectingto router. Ethernet LED on
IP180 will light up.
2) Afterupto15 secondstheSWAN-Q LED willturnon,indicatinginternetavailable andthe IP180isconnectedtoSWAN-Q andready to use.
3) OpenBlueEyeandconnectto thesiteusingsitetokenorpanelserialnumber.
To connect the IP180 over Wi-Fi with Blue Eye
Wi-Fi configuration is also available from the Master Settings menu in BlueEye. There are two possibilities to connect over Wi-Fi, either with or
without Ethernet.
If Ethernet is connected:
1) Using the BlueEye app, connect to the site using the site token or panel serial number.
2) Either via MASTER or INSTALLER menu, select settings, and then Wi-Fi configuration.
3) Select the Wi-Fi network you wish to connect to. Enter the password then press connect. A successful connection will be indicated by
displaying CONNECTED.

PARADOX.COM
If Ethernet is not connected:
1) Power up the IP180 via the panel serial connection.
2) Using the device Wi-Fi, search for the IP180 Wi-Fi hotspot that is identified by IP180-SERIAL NUMBER.
3) Connect to SSID name: IP180<SN>, see image below.
4) Go to a web browser on yourdeviceand enter 192.168.180.1.
5) Select from the above list, the Wi-Fi network you wish to connect to and press it. Enter the password and press connect. If no password is
needed (open network) leave it blank and press connect.
6) Exit and proceed to BlueEye to connect to the site.
Note: If Ethernet and Wi-Fi are connected, the IP180 will keep one connection active but not both. The module will use the last active connection
type.
Creating a Site
1) Open the BlueEye app.
2) Select the Menu, and then select Installer Menu.
3) Press on the 3-dot menu and select Create New Site.

To configure reporting, enter at the Paradox panel via keypad, BabyWare, or the BlueEye application, the CMS Account number IP address(es)
of the receiver(s), IP Port, and the security profile (2-digit number) that indicates the supervision time. Up to three receivers can be used to report
with the IP180. If you are currently reporting to four receivers, once you upgrade to an IP180 or if you are using IP150+ MQTT firmware, you will
no longer be able to configure or report to a fourth receiver.
Note: 10-digit account numbers will be supported in EVOHD+ panels, and MG+/SP+ in the future.
