3) In the router’s configuration page, check the DHCP settings (screen shot below may differ depending on
type of router used).
Figure 3 - DHCP Settings
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).
Figure 4 - Port Range Forwarding
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.
Figure 5 - IP Exploring Tools
3) Right-click your IP150 and select Module setup, refer to screen shot 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 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.
Figure 7 - Registration to ParadoxMyHome
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. However,
for the Output, a 12V source must be supplied. 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. Refer to figures 9 and 10 for examples of input and output connections.
NOTE: I/O terminals are not available when connected to UC300.
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
NOTE: When the IP150 is connected to a UC300, “Log panel non-saved event” option is not available.
