IDS NXT: Setup IDS NXT rio
11.2 IP address with DHCP
Updating cameras with IDS NXT OS 1.0
If a camera is to be updated that is still running IDS NXT OS 1.0, it is recommended that the
camera gets its IP address via DHCP, since the camera uses DHCP in service mode by
default (see
Network configuration in IDS NXT cockpit
).
If you start the IDS NXT OS update by double-clicking on the GUF file, all corresponding
models in the network are updated automatically. If you want to update only a specific
camera, follow the instructions below.
Use the "ids_deviceupdate" tool to transfer the update to the camera via the GUF file. The "ids_deviceupdate"
tool can be found in the installation directory of the IDS NXT cockpit, e.g. under "C:/Program
Files/IDS/ids_nxt_cockpit_2_0/visiontools". The command line tool allows you to choose the camera explicitly
for the update.
1. Open the "ids_deviceupdate" command line tool.
2. List all available cameras with:
ids_deviceupdate.exe --list-all
3. Select a camera e.g. based on the last digits of its serial number and start the update, e.g.
ids_deviceupdate -s *6675 --guf "C:\GUF\NXT_GS29016C_1.1.0.100.guf" -U
4. Confirm the update with "y".
The IDS NXT OS update can take several minutes. Wait until it is finished.
IDS NXT rio is a complete system consisting of different components, therefore 2 version
numbers are distinguished during the update:
DeviceRuntimeSystemVersion
and
DeviceSensorFirmwareVersion
.
However, when querying
ids_deviceupdate --list-device-versions
, the camera
will not display a valid version number because this command queries the version number in
DeviceFirmwareVersion
.
11.3 IP address without DHCP
Updating cameras with IDS NXT OS 1.0
If a camera is to be updated that is still running IDS NXT OS 1.0, it is recommended that the
camera gets its IP address via DHCP, since the camera uses DHCP in service mode by
default (see
Network configuration in IDS NXT cockpit
).
If the camera cannot obtain the IP address via DHCP, the camera uses the Zeroconf method.
1. Boot the camera manually into service mode, see
Booting the camera in service mode
. The IP address of
the camera may change due to Zeroconf.
2. Make sure that the camera and host are in the same subnet.
3. The following steps are identical to the description under
After the IDS NXT OS update, the camera is automatically started in runtime mode.
