015 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 manualsfeedback@paradox.com.
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.
1 Internet Via Ethernet cable Connect the Ethernet plug to the RJ45 socket of IP180, as shown in Figure 5. On the RJ45 socket, the green and orange LEDs will light and Ethernet LED in front will light up followed by Swan Q LED after up to 15 seconds. If you wish to add a Wi-Fi connection once connected to Swan via Ethernet, you can configure the Wi-Fi via the application.
Internet via Wi-Fi
Connect the Wi-Fi antenna, (the antenna kit may be sold separately). To use Wi-Fi, 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 2.
To use the Wi-Fi network as the only internet connection (without Internet via the ethernet cable). When no internet is available through Ethernet, the IP180 will open a Hotspot. Please open BlueEye and look for the Hotspot named by the IP180 Serial number, connect to the hotspot, and follow the instructions, refer to page 5 for more information.
Note: The Wi-Fi antenna is installed on the outside of the metal box. The antenna might not be included and may be purchased separately from your distributor.

Connectivity - Port Settings
When connecting to most routers, the IP180 will automatically connect, and nothing needs to be configured. Should you have issues connecting, please make sure that the ISP, router/firewall is not blocking the following ports. They need to be permanently open (TCP/UDP, and inbound and outbound).
Port Description (used for)
UDP 53 DNS UDP 123 NTP UDP 5683 COAP (back up) TCP 8883 MQTT port SWAN and IPC10 receiver TCP 443 OTA (firmware upgrade + certificate download) TCP Port 465, 587 Usually for email server, may differ depending on the email server used.
Connect IP180 over Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi configuration is also available from the Master Settings menu in BlueEye. There are two possibilities to connect over Wi-Fi, either with or without Ethernet. Note: Wi-Fi is not available when the IP180 is in a closed network installation.
If internet connected via Ethernet cable:
1) Using the BlueEye app, connect to the site using the site token or panel serial number. 2) Either via the MASTER or INSTALLER menu, select settings, and then Wi-Fi configuration. 3) Select the Wi-Fi network you wish to connect to. Enter the password then press connect. A successful connection will be indicated by displaying CONNECTED.
4 If internet via Ethernet is not connected: 1) Power up the IP180 connecting to the panel serial port. If the Internet is not available, the IP180 will activate the hotspot. 2) Using your device’s Wi-Fi, search for the IP180 Wi-Fi hotspot that is identified by IP180-SERIAL NUMBER. 3) Connect to SSID name: IP180<SN>, see image below.
4) Go to a web browser on your device and enter 192.168.180.1. You will open the IP180 web page to configure the Wi-Fi network that you wish to connect to.
5) Select from the above list, the Wi-Fi network you wish to connect to and press it. Enter the password and press connect. If no password is needed (open network) leave it blank and press connect. You will lose connection from the web page and the IP180 will connect to the desired Wi-Fi network. If the connection was refused due to a wrong password or any other reason the hotspot will be opened again. 6) Exit and proceed to BlueEye to connect to the site.
Note: If Ethernet and Wi-Fi are connected, the IP180 will keep one connection active and not both. The module will use and stay with the last active connection type.
Creating a Site 1) Open the BlueEye app. 2) Select the Menu, and then select Installer Menu. 3) Press on the 3-dot menu and select Create New Site. 4) Enter the Panel SN, Site Name, and email address. 5) Tap on Create New Site. 6) Site is created.

7 Reporting to the IPC10 Receiver in closed networks (no internet)
Reporting in a closed network requires IPC10 V1.01.000 or later version, and BabyWare V5.6.40 or later for connection/configuration. The below will be valid only if the Internet is not available on the connected network.
When IP180 is connected to the network without internet access, it will enable web page access. With a PC connected to the same local network of the IPC10 and the devices, use BabyWare, select Static IP connection type, and use the scan feature to find the IP of the IP180 modules. A list of Paradox IP devices will appear (IP180 and IP150+, IP150 with supported versions) with their IP addresses and their serial numbers.
Enter the IP address of the device you wish to configure in a web browser. Enter the Installer PC Code of the panel (same as the PC Password in BabyWare, default 0000).
From the web interface once connected to the web page, Disable Swan connection as shown below and disable DHCP if needed. If DHCP disabled and unable to connect with the device, reset to default will enable DHCP.
To configure reporting, enter panel programming via keypad or BabyWare (serial port). Enter the CMS account number, IP address(es) of the receiver(s), Port, and security profiles (2-digit number), that indicate the supervision time. Up to four receivers can be used to report with the IP180.
After the reporting configuration is finalized (panel registered to an IPC10), a panel connection with BabyWare can be established following one of the next procedures.
8 Option 1
To connect with BabyWare follow the below steps:
1. Open the Account page and select the IPC server option. 2. Enter the label of the IPC10 receiver, the IP of the IPC10, and the port (8883 default). 3.
