Description

The IP150 Internet Module is a multi-function Internet communication module that offers SWAN 
connectivity or static IP address connectivity. It is fully configurable from the integrated web interface. The 
IP150 provides freedom to access your system and receive push or email notifications (depending on 
configuration) from anywhere around the world.

Before You Begin (Static Mode Only)

Make sure you have a web-enabled computer. You will also require the following in order to configure your 
IP150 Internet Module:

Ethernet-compatible computer with internet access (required for remote access)

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)

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 (refer to

 Metal Box Installation

).

Reset IP150 to Default

To reset the IP150 module to its default settings, insert a pin/straightened paper clip (or similar) into the 
pin hole located between the two I/O LEDs. Press down gently until you feel some resistance; hold it down 
for approximately 5 seconds, release it when the I/O and RX/TX LEDs start flashing, and then press it 
again. The I/O and RX/TX LEDs will remain lit during the reset.

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).
