Introduction

The IP180 Internet Module provides access to Paradox systems and replaces the previous IP150 reporting devices. The IP180 has built-in Wi-Fi, a Wi-Fi Antenna kit may be purchased separately. The IP180 reports only to the IPC10 Paradox receiver/converter, BabyWare, and communicates with the BlueEye application. 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.

THING YOU SHOULD KNOW, PLEASE READ
While the IP180 programming is similar to the IP150, there are some differences you should know:

• IP180 does not support “Combo” mode, there is no serial output. A system with a combo connection cannot be upgraded to IP180 without upgrading the panel to + with two serial outputs.
• The IP180, due to its nature, cannot support local closed networks. Paradox will offer future local solutions for closed networks.
• You can configure static IP in BlueEye installer menu for BlueEye but BlueEye does not support static IP connection and IP180 must have internet connection.
• IP180 reports in Contact ID format only to the IPC10 (make sure the panel is set to Contact ID reporting), and from IPC10 to CMS MLR2-DG or Ademco 685.
• IP180 supports and supervises up to three IPC10 reporting receivers and upon release will support up to four receivers (IP150+ Future MQTT version supports only two receivers).
• When IP180 is connected, only the BlueEye application will connect; 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 previous Turn reporting devices on the same panel.

If you replaced the IP150 with an IP180 and wish to revert back to IP150, please see the “Reverting to Classic” on page 8.
NOTE: Please make sure the reporting format is set to CID. The IPC10 can only receive CONTACT ID format.

Before You Begin

Make sure you have the following to configure your IP180 Internet Module:

• 4-pin serial cable (included)
• Ethernet network connection or for Wi-Fi connection, Wi-Fi network credentials, and have Wi-Fi antenna kit
• BlueEye app installed on your smartphone

IP180 Overview

Installation

• IP180
  The IP180 should be installed in the panel metal box enclosure to be tamper- protected. Clip the IP180 to the top of the metal box, as shown in Figure 3.

• Serial to the Panel
  Connect the serial output of the IP180 to the Serial port of the Paradox panels. If it is Paradox + Series, connect it to Serial1 as it is the main reporting channel, as shown in Figure 2. If the panel is powered up, the on- board LEDs will illuminate to indicate the IP180’s status.

• Ethernet
  If you are using an Ethernet cable connection, connect it to an active Ethernet socket and the left side of the IP180, as shown in Figure 2. If you are using a Wi-Fi connection as well, you can configure the Wi-Fi via the application once ethernet is connected and the internet is available.

• Wi-Fi
  The Antenna kit is sold separately. To use wifi, drill a ¼” hole on top or side of the metal box, pass the antenna extension wire through the hole and secure the socket to the metal box. Secure the Wi-Fi antenna to the plug and connect the other side of the cable gently to the IP180; it uses a “push and click” mechanism, as shown in Figure 4.
  Note: The Wi-Fi antenna is installed on the outside of the metal box and not inside the metal box. The antenna is not included and should be purchased separately from the distributor. To register into the Wi-Fi network without ethernet please open BlueEye.

Attaching the IP180 to the Panel

To connect the IP180, plug in the Serial cable to panel, refer to Figure 2. After a few seconds, the RX/TX LED starts flashing; this indicates that the IP180 is powered and is communicating with the panel.
