Access Point and the IBR-ITAB Wireless Touchscreen Tablet  

The 

iBridge Suite 

allows consumers to control their alarm system, Z-Wave devices and video cameras from wireless and 

wired Touch Screens, Android and Apple devices and from a PC web browser independently or all at the same time 
from inside the premises or out. 
 
This guide will walk you through the steps required to set up a typical system.  The key components are: 
 



IBR-ZREMOTE

:  This the " hub"  of the system.  It links the Napco alarm control panel keypad bus, a Wi-Fi 

access point, and an internal Z-Wave controller allowing commands to flow from one system to another via an 
interconnected TCP/IP network within the premises or over the Internet.  The IBR-ZREMOTE also has an integral NL-
MOD to allow the reporting of alarms to a Napco NetLink Receiver and to remotely configure the alarm control panel 
over the Internet.  Because the IBR-ZREMOTE is connected to the Napco keypad bus, it must be programmed with a 
unique keypad address number.  It is shipped defaulted as KEYPAD ADDRESS number 1, but is easy to change. 



ISEE-WAP

:  This is the Wi-Fi access point that allows wireless devices (cameras, Touch Screens, etc.) to gain 

access to the IBR-ZREMOTE and the TCP/IP network and also provides Wi-Fi for local control using the iBridge 
mobile app running on iPhones, iPads or Android devices.  (The ISEE-WAP is not required if not using cameras or 
the IBR-ITAB wireless Touch Screen or if a local Wi-Fi connection to the system is not required). 



IBR-ITAB

:  This is a completely wireless Touch Screen that connects to the ISEE-WAP using built in Wi-Fi for 

control of Security, Z-Wave and Video.  The IBR-ITAB-HW is a slight variation of the IBR-ITAB and differs in the 
management of the security connection.  In this case the IBR-ITAB-HW is wired directly to the Napco control panel 
keypad bus to control security and the integral Wi-Fi is used only for Video and Z-Wave control.

:  If the system 

standby current is insufficient for 
the 380mA required for the IBR-
ITAB-HW, use a separate UL-
Listed Security and Signaling 
power-limited 12V power supply.  
Be sure the negative terminals of 
the power supply and control 
panel are connected.
