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.
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 default 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
- Ensure the panel’s report code format is set to Ademco Contact ID: MG/SP: section [810] EVO: section [3070]
- 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).

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.
Remote Access (SWAN)
When using the IP150+ with SWAN, the SWAN connection is seamless. Please make
sure that the ISP or router/firewall is not blocking the following ports that
needs to be permanently open (whitelisted) for TCP and UDP:
- Port 10000 – Configurable SW port on IP150+ from Insite GOLD Installer Menu, used for NEware closed network, Locate IP in the network and firmware upgrading.
- Ports 53, 443, 3478, and 5683 – are used to communicate with the SWAN Server.
Remote Access (Static Public IP Mode Only)
In order to configure your system for remote access, you will need access to your router. The following steps will guide you in setting up remote access so that the IP150+ module can function properly.
- Ensure the router is connected properly as indicated in the router’s instructions.
- 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.
- In the router’s configuration page, check the DHCP settings (the 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 a random IP address. It is possible to change that address if needed using the Insite GOLD app. - On the router’s configuration page, go to the Port Range Forwarding section (also known as “port mapping” or “port redirection”). If the module is used in a closed network and it does not need external accessing, no ports need to be forwarded. If the module needs to be accessed from a different network, the software port (default 10000) needs to be forwarded.
Connecting to a Site
Prior to configuring the IP150+ ensure to:
- Create an account as an Installer on www.paradox.com. The account must be approved by the distributor in the country of installation.
- Download the Insite Gold app available on iOS and Android, if previously not done.
- Open the Insite GOLD app, once installed, and select the Menu option on the top right-hand corner of the screen.
- Log in with the email and password associated with your www.paradox.com website account.
- Add a Site to the app using the SWAN server. If the installation is not using the SWAN server to connect, the installer can add the installation in the Panel Accounts section.
Configuring the IP150+
- Open the Insite GOLD app.
- Select the Menu and then Installer Menu; the Installer Site List screen will be displayed.
- Enter the Installer PC code programmed in the panel of the installation if connecting to a site using the SWAN servers service.
- Select the Modules Programming option from the Installer Services tab.
- Select Module Configuration.
- Tap on the CONFIG button. At this point, the Installer has access to the configuration of the IP150+ module. From this screen, the installer can scroll down to configure the Receivers as well as set email configurations.
SWAN Sites – Module Configuration
Allows you to configure the IP150+ module’s settings.
DHCP: If the IP150+ is connected to a server using a static IP address, the DHCP protocol is not necessary.
Panel Accounts (Non-SWAN Sites) – Module Configuration
Before you can configure your module, you will need to add a Panel Account
using the serial number of the panel for panel accounts. For static IP
installations, enable static IP, then configure the local and public IP
addresses and port numbers.
Once the panel account has been added, repeat steps 1 – 6 to configure the
IP150+ module’s settings. DISABLE SWAN POLLING: When the Disable SWAN polling
option is set to enabled (only for a closed network), it disables access to
your system through the SWAN server. To access your system, you will need to
use the static IP address function in the app. When disabled, the Access tab
is enabled, and push notifications can be received.NOTE: When SWAN Polling is
disabled, only the PGM and Security tabs are available. The Access tab is only
available when SWAN polling in enabled. Push notifications are not available
without a swan subscription. DHCP: If the IP150+ is connected to a server
using a static IP address, the DHCP protocol is not necessary.
