3)
In the router’s configuration page, check the DHCP settings (
screenshot below may differ
depending on type of router used).
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 the default address of 192.168.1.250. 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).
Step 2: Configuring the IP150
1)
Using a computer connected to the same network as the IP150, open the Paradox IP Exploring
Tools.
2)
Click Find It. Your IP150 appears in the list.
3) Right-click your IP150 and select Module setup, see screenshot 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: Setting up ParadoxMyHome (optional)
This step is not needed if the IP address provided by the Internet Service Provider is static. Using
the ParadoxMyHome service will allow you to access your system over the Internet with a
dynamic IP address. The IP150 will then poll the ParadoxMyHome server to keep the information
updated. By default, the ParadoxMyHome service is disabled (enable it on the IP150 Module
Configuration page).
To set up the ParadoxMyHome service:
1)
Go to www.paradoxmyhome.com, click Request Login and provide the requested information.
2)
Start the Paradox IP Exploring Tools software and right-click the IP150.
3)
Select Register to ParadoxMyHome.
4)
Enter the requested information. Enter a unique SiteID for the module.
5)
When registration is complete, you can access the IP150 page by going to:
www.paradoxmyhome.com/[SiteID]
If there are issues with connecting to the IP150, try making the polling delay shorter (configured on
the IP150’s webpage interface), so that the IP information available for the ParadoxMyHome
connection is up to date. However, a shorter delay for the polls will increase the traffic on the
internet (WAN).
Step 4: 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 user code or user IP150 password.
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). For a secure
connection, make sure to write “https://...etc.”.
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 and IP150 user password (default: paradox).
WARNING: A pop-up warning you that the website’s certificate is not secure may occur.
This is acceptable, click to continue.
Off-Site Access:
1)
Go to www.paradoxmyhome.com/siteID (replace ‘siteID’ by the ‘siteID’ you used to register
with the ParadoxMyHome service).
2)
Enter your alarm system’s User Code and IP150 password (default: paradox).
Inputs and Outputs
The I/O terminals can be configured via the IP150 web page. Each I/O can be defined as either an
Input or an Output. The I/O terminals can ONLY be defined from the IP150 web interface. They are
independent from the panel and cannot be related to any panel event. An Output can only be
triggered from within the IP150’s web interface. Output or Input triggering can allow you to have
email notifications sent to selected recipients.
When defined as an Input or Output, they can be configured as normally open or as normally
closed (see figure 3). However, for the Output, a 12V source must be supplied (see figure 5).
Outputs are rated at 50mA.
The method of activation is either Toggle or Pulse. If set to Toggle, a Delay Before Activation can
be defined. If set to Pulse, a Delay Before Activation and Duration can be defined. See figures 4
and 5 for examples of input and output connections.
Event Log
There are three types of events logged (note that only the last 64 events will be displayed):
- Reporting (which are color-coded:
success, fail, pending, and cancel by panel
)
- Panel events (which can also be viewed from PC software or on keypads)
- IP150 local events
