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
Introduction
The IP180 Internet Module provides access to Paradox systems. The IP180 has built-in Ethernet and Wi-Fi, (Wi-Fi Antenna kit may be
purchased separately). The IP180 is based on MQTT technology and reports only to the IPC10 Paradox receiver/converter, and the latest
BabyWare and BlueEye application MQTT versions. 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.
THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW, PLEASE READ:
•
IP180 does not support "Combo" mode. A system with a combo connection cannot be upgraded to IP180 without upgrading the
panel to + using two serial outputs.
•
DHCP can be disabled in BlueEye via the installer menu and closed network through the web page.
•
IP180 reports in Contact ID format only to the IPC10 (make sure the panel is set to Contact ID reporting).
•
IP180 supports and supervises up to four IPC10 reporting receivers (with EVO Panels and three receivers with MG/SP panels).
•
IP180 supports only the BlueEye application, Insite GOLD will not connect to the IP180.
•
When connected to a Paradox panel with two serial outputs, connect the IP180 to Serial-1 (main channel) and PCS265 V8 (MQTT
version) to Serial-2 (another IP180 can be connected to Serial-2 as well). Do not mix MQTT reporting devices and Legacy reporting
versions.
NOTE: Please make sure the reporting format is set to CID. The IPC10 can only receive CONTACT ID format.
Installation
IP180
The IP180 should be installed inside the panel metal box enclosure to be tamper-protected. Clip the IP180 to the top of the metal box, as
shown in Figure 1.
Serial to the Panel
Connect the serial input of the IP180 to the Serial output of the Paradox panel. If it is Paradox + Series, connect it to Serial1 as it is
the main reporting channel, as shown in Figure 5. If the panel is powered up, the RX/TX LED starts flashing; this indicates that the
IP180 is powered and is communicating with the panel.
