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.

Figure 1 -  IP Communication Overview

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

Connect IP150+ to the serial port on your panel and Ethernet port of your router

Connecting and Installing the IP150+

Figure 2 -  IP150+ Overview

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.

Note: 

If a panel has been replaced, the IP150+ will retain its settings and not reset to factory default 

values.

Enable/Disable DHCP Settings

Before you can enable/disable the DHCP settings you must first verify the status of your DHCP. 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 and depress quickly the reset switch. 

One blink of the Internet 

LED 

followed by one blink of the LINK LED indicates that DHCP is ON (default).

 

One blink of the Link LED 

followed by one blink of the Internet LED indicates that DHCP is OFF. 

To enable/disable the DHCP settings, press and depress the reset switch quickly and then immediately 

hold it down for approximately two seconds. If DHCP is enabled, then the Internet LED will blink once to 

indicate that DHCP settings are disabled. To enable DHCP repeat the procedure. The link LED will blink 

once to indicate that DHCP settings are enabled.

Firmware Version Fallback

To revert the IP150+ module to its previously installed 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 previously installed 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).

NOTE:

 For Contact ID reporting, all report codes should be set to FF in order tor receive all events.

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.

NOTE: 

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.
