the IPR512 Operations Manual.

Figure 1: System Overview

Out of the Box (included): Additional Items Required (not included)

• Paradox IP Monitoring Receiver (IPR512)

• 1GB memory card

• 1.8m (6ft) power cable

• 3m (10ft) DB25 to DB9 serial cable for COM1

• DB9 gender changer

• Rack-mount kit (brackets and screws)

• CAT5 network cable for LAN and WAN1/WAN2

• Optional: DB9 or DB25 serial cable (RS-232) for COM2

• Router and computer on a network to access internal web
page interface (LAN)

• Router on a network with internet access (W AN1) to receive
control panel report codes

• Desktop installation kit (rubber feet)

• Removable connector for Input/Output Relay

Step 1: Connect COM1 (Automation Software)

Connect the receiver to a PC running the Automation Software. Connect the provided 3m (10ft) DB25 to DB9 cable
between the receiver’s COM1 connector and a COM port on the PC, or on the PC’s serial hub.

Step 2: Connect COM2 (Optional: Serial printer/PC)

This step is optional. Connect the receiver to a serial printe r or to a PC running RS232 serial communication software. The
receiver sends reported events in plain text format through COM2 (RS-232), which can be printed or viewed. Connect a
serial cable between the receiver’s COM2 (DB9) connector and a COM port on the serial printer or PC (gender changer is
included).

Connect the receiver to a router on a network. A computer on the network will be used to access the receiver’s internal web
page interface in order to configure the re ceiver. Connect a CAT5 network cable between the receiver’s LAN connector and
the router of the network.

Step 4: Connect WAN1 (Internet Service Provider)

Connect the receiver to a router on a network with access to the internet. System events are sent through the internet to the
WAN port of the receiver defined by the IP address and port set in the control panel. Connect a CAT5 network cable
between the receiver’s WAN1 connector and the r outer of a netwo rk with internet access. Connect WAN2 to another router
and network to provide redundant reporting through a different Internet Service Provider (ISP). Note: WAN2 is not

available on the present version. Check the Web for updates.

Step 5: Connect Power

Connect the AC power cable (included) between the plug at the back of the receiver and an Uninterruptible Power Supply
(UPS).

Step 6: Insert Memory Card (Data Backup)

Insert memory card (minimum 1GB recommended) into the Memory Card slot. The IPR512 supports any external SD, SD/
HC, or MMC memory card. The receiver backs up data (receiver configuration and account information) at programmable
intervals (default: every 2 hours). Manual backups can be performed from the receiver LCD menu (see IPR512 Operating
Manual for details).
