Isonas IPB2.0-3DOOR IPBridge Controlling up to 1 IP and 3 Wiegand Devices

That's exactly what the IP-Bridge 2.0 is for. You unplug the existing control panel and land your existing Wiegand readers directly on the IP-Bridge 2.0, keeping the readers, the power supplies, and the credentials already issued to your tenants or staff. No re-badging, no pulling reader hardware off the doors. It works with both 13.56MHz and 125KHz readers, which covers the large majority of legacy prox and smart card installs.

Three doors per unit, with one IP device and three Wiegand devices supported. If you need more than three openings, the IP-Bridge 2.0 daisy chains: up to 32 bridges in series through the dual network port, for as many as 96 doors off a single network port. That's the number to size against when you're pricing a building, not the three.

One, if you plan it as a chain. The IP-Bridge 2.0 has a dual network port so units link in series, up to 32 of them, all riding a single port back to the switch. For a retrofit in an occupied building that's the difference between one cable pull and thirty, and it's usually the deciding factor over per-door IP controllers that each want their own drop.

Yes. Each door on the IP-Bridge 2.0 runs in local mode holding 20,000 credentials, 5,000 access events, and 32 time schedules on board. If the network path or host software drops, the door keeps making its own decisions against that stored list and logs the events for upload later. For a property manager, that means a server reboot or a switch failure doesn't strand people outside the building.

They solve different problems at the head end. The IPB2.0-3DOOR supports three doors and is built to take over an existing Wiegand installation: you unplug the legacy panel, land the existing Wiegand readers directly on the IP-Bridge 2.0, and keep the existing power supplies and credentials while moving to a Pure IP environment. The Aiphone AC-2DM-B is a PoE two-door access controller from the Aiphone AC Series. If the job is a retrofit where the readers and cards on the doors are staying, the IP-Bridge is the piece that lets them stay; if you are building two new openings from scratch, the AC-2DM-B is a two-door head end.

Look at the Codelocks A3 Dual standalone door controller with RFID, offered in a black finish, from the A3 Door Controllers series. It is a standalone controller, so the credential decisions live at the door rather than on a networked panel. The Isonas IPB2.0-3DOOR is the other approach: it supports three doors, connects to the network through a dual network port, and can be daisy chained up to 32 units in series to manage up to 96 doors. For a single opening with no host system behind it, the standalone A3 is the smaller piece of equipment; the IP-Bridge is sized for a multi-door networked system.

No, they are not interchangeable. The Aiphone IMU-100 is a controller and operation station kit for the IM system, part of the Aiphone IM Series - it is the head end and station for an intercom system. The Isonas IPB2.0-3DOOR is an access control bridge: it takes Wiegand readers directly, works with 13.56MHz and 125KHz readers, supports burst mode in keypad readers, and stores 20,000 credentials, 5,000 access events and 32 time schedules per door for local mode operation. If you are replacing a Wiegand access panel, the IMU-100 does not fill that role.

The IP-Bridge 2.0 measures 6.28 x 3.55 x 2.26 inches. Plan your backbox or wiring closet space around that footprint plus room for the reader home runs and network leads, and if you're chaining units, allow for them side by side.

Keypad readers are supported, including burst mode, which is how most Wiegand keypads send a full PIN as one packet rather than digit by digit. So a card-plus-PIN or PIN-only opening on your legacy hardware carries over when you convert the panel.

Pair the IP-Bridge 2.0 with the ISONAS R-1 reader. The bridge brings the legacy Wiegand doors onto the Pure IP platform, and the R-1 is the reader that gives those openings a mobile credential path. You can do it door by door, leaving the remaining Wiegand readers in place on the same bridge while you phase in the new ones.

The IP-Bridge 2.0 is a migration device: it exists to put existing Wiegand readers and panels onto an IP network without replacing them, so it makes sense when there is legacy hardware on the doors already. On a clean install with no existing readers, a self-contained unit is often the simpler build. ZenSupply carries the Aiphone AC-2DM-B PoE two-door access controller from the AC Series, and the Codelocks A3 dual standalone door controller with RFID in a black finish for openings where you want the credential reading and the control in one package rather than head-end software.

Yes. Keeping the existing power supplies is part of the design intent, along with the Wiegand readers and issued credentials. You are swapping the panel out from under the system, not rebuilding the door wiring, so the power side of the install stays as it sits.

The Isonas IPB2.0-3DOOR is the one built for that. It is designed to expand legacy systems into a Pure IP environment without issuing new credentials or replacing existing panels, and it is compatible with both 13.56MHz and 125KHz readers, so the cards already in your users' pockets stay in service. The Codelocks A3 Dual standalone door controller is an RFID controller in its own right and is not a takeover device for an existing Wiegand panel. For a card base you want to preserve across three doors, the IP-Bridge 2.0 is the retrofit path.

The IPB2.0-3DOOR is the three-door model, sold as model IPB2-0-3DOOR, and it controls up to 1 IP and 3 Wiegand devices. For a two-opening job, the Aiphone AC-2DM-B PoE two-door access controller in the AC Series is the two-door device in the comparable set. Note the difference in what each expects at the door: the IP-Bridge takes existing Wiegand readers directly off a legacy panel, so on a retrofit with three openings it can absorb all three on one network port.

No. The IP-Bridge 2.0 is an access control panel replacement that bridges Wiegand readers to an IP network, with no audio or video entry function. If you need door entry communication with the access control, look at the Aiphone IMU-100 controller and operation station kit for the IM Series instead.
