Setting Up IP Reporting 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.
1) Ensure the panel’s report code format is set to Ademco Contact ID:
MG/SP: section [810]
EVO: section [3070] Step 1: Setting up the Router
2) Enter the IP reporting account numbers (one for each partition): This step allows you to set up the router so that the IP150+ module can function properly.
MG/SP: section [918] / [919] 1) Ensure the router is connected properly as indicated in the router’s instructions.
EVO: section [2976] to [2983]
2) Access your router’s configuration page. Refer to your router’s manual for the exact procedure. In
Please make sure that reporting codes are programmed in the panel, refer to the corresponding most cases, this is done by entering the router’s static IP address in the address bar of your Web
Programming Guide for more details. 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 NOTE: For increased communication security, please change the default PC password and Panel ID in Technical Specifications
on type of router used). the control panel. Also, note that the IP150+ supports SMTP/ESMTP/SSL/TLS protocols.
Figure 4 - DHCP Settings The following table provides a listing of the technical specifications for the IP150+ Internet Module.
Figure 7 - Module Setup
Specification Description

Panel Any Digiplex EVO panel (V2.02 for IP reporting)

Compatibility Any Spectra SP series panel (V3.42 for IP reporting)
Any MG5000 / MG5050 panel (V4.0 for IP reporting)
MG5075 panel (V1.01)
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 Encryption MD5 and RC4
(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 a random IP Current 100mA
address. It is possible to change that address if needed using the Paradox IP Exploring Tools software. Consumption

4) In the router’s configuration page, go to the Port Range Forwarding section (also known as “port Input Voltage 13.8 Vdc, supplied by the panel serial port
mapping” or “port redirection”). Add a service/item, set the Port to 80 and enter the static IP address Enclosure 10.9cm x 2.7cm x 2.2cm (4.3in x 1.1in x 0.9in)
selected in the previous step for the IP module. If port 80 is already used, you can use another one, Dimensions
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 Approvals CE, EN 50136-1, EN 50136-2 SP5, EN 50131-10 Grade 3, Class II
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 3: 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 master code.

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).
or
Step 2: Configuring the IP150+ Use the Paradox IP Exploring Tools software, click Refresh and double-click on your IP150+ in the
list.
1) Using a computer connected to the same network as the IP150+, open the Paradox IP Exploring
Tools. 2) Enter your alarm system’s User Code.
2) Click Find It. Your IP150+ appears in the list.
