NAPCO iBridge IBR-TOUCH / IBR-TOUCH-WL — Quick Start Guide

Overview

This Quick Start Guide covers setup of the NAPCO iBridge™ IBR-TOUCH and IBR-TOUCH-WL touchscreen tablets, which serve as a security system keypad with optional video camera and Z-Wave control functionality for Gemini security systems.

Setup Steps

1. Unpack the tablet. Look for the supplied mounting hardware; the power adapter is included only with model IBR-TOUCH-WL. If using older ISEE series cameras, use your existing ISEE-WAP with its power adapter and CAT5 cable.
2. Mount the rear case to the wall using screws appropriate for the mounting surface. Power the IBR-TOUCH-WL with the 12VDC power adapter (observe polarity) through the center hole in the rear case. The IBR-TOUCH connects to the Gemini security system's 4-wire bus.
3. Apply power to the control panel, the touchscreen, and the ISEE-WAP / IBR-ZREMOTE / StarLink Connect radio. Both touchscreens start within about 5 seconds of power-up (or manually by pressing and holding the small button on the right side for 10 seconds).
4. Setup Wizard. The Setup Wizard starts automatically on power-up. If it doesn't, press and hold the System Settings (gear) icon, enter the Dealer password, then tap Setup Wizard.
5. Date/Time. Tap Yes and set date, time, and time zone if necessary. Important: outdated digital certificates will disallow connection to your iBridge or StarLink Connect system and inhibit necessary automatic firmware downloads.
6. Diagnostics. Wait for the system diagnostics process to complete. Functional components show a checkmark; items not configured/enabled show an "x". Tap Configure to continue.
7. Usage type. Select Keypad Only (security keypad only — jump to step 9) or Full Functionality (video camera + Z-Wave — continue to step 8).
8. Camera type. If you have an ISEE-WAP with existing older iSeeVideo cameras, tap ISEE Series Cameras; for newer ISV2 models, tap ISV2 Series Cameras; for systems without cameras, tap No Cameras (cameras can be added later). Note: ISEE and ISV2 cameras cannot be combined.
9. WiFi. To connect through the customer's wireless router, check Enable WiFi, select the router name from the pull-down (tap Refresh if not listed) and have the customer enter their router password. Tap Save & Next. Note: the default name "Public" is used with ISEE-WAP installations.
10. Wait for connection to the customer's wireless router to complete, then tap Next.
11. Local radio connection. The system automatically tries to connect to the "local" StarLink Connect radio or the iBridge (zRemote) Z-Wave Controller physically located on the premises. Tap Finish when connected.
12. Result: If Keypad Only was selected in step 7, the virtual security system keypad appears — setup is complete. If Full Functionality was selected, continue to the next step.
13. Cloud account. The tablet automatically attempts to connect through the cloud to either the NAPCO StarLink Connect radio account or the NAPCO iBridge (zRemote) Z-Wave Controller account. Enter the administrator account User ID and Password, then tap Finish.
14. Payment plan configuration. Upon connecting to the internet-based account, the keypad is configured for the payment plan selected by the customer (e.g. smart phone notifications and camera video).
15. Verify. Confirm the touchscreen display reflects the current status of the security control panel. The red text at the bottom right describes the connections (e.g. wired connection to the security control panel 4-wire bus, and Wi-Fi connection to the StarLink Connect radio or IBR-ZREMOTE).
