A firmware update via the GUI is not possible at the moment. But the GUI can be used to
reboot the camera into update mode.
To do this open the info tab of the GUI and under “System Operations” click on “Reboot to
Update Mode”. The reboot will take about 40 seconds, you can then perform the firmware
update procedure as described in chapter 4.2.
4.2 Firmware Update via Web Interface
The ATOM one SSM500 has an integrated web server that provides a software update
web page. To start the web server the device has to be in Update Mode. This can be done
by sending the
fw_update
command or using the GUI as described in chapter 4.1 above.
The reboot to Update Mode takes about 40 seconds. Afterwards the firmware update web
page will be accessible on the IP address that is displayed in the devices OLED display.
By default the device will try to get an IP address via DHCP, it will display “Waiting for
DHCP” during this time. If no DHCP server is available in the network, the device will fall
back to the address 192.168.1.200 after ~20 seconds.
To access the web page connect the ATOM one SSM500 to the same network as your PC
over its’ Ethernet port. Then simply enter the IP address in the web browser of your choice.
In the web interface you can upload the desired firmware update, the web interface will
show you the progress. As soon as the update is finished use the “Reboot” button in the
top right corner of the web page to switch back to the newly installed firmware.
