8 System Configuration
For initial set-up, the ATOMAS-MINI-DUAL needs to be configured prior to using it with your network video
management system. In most cases, only network configuration will be required. Since not all ATOMAS-MINI-
DUAL parameters can be controlled via networked video management systems, advanced parameters may need
to be set-up as well through the ION specific software tools.
The initial configuration can be done locally on the ATOMAS-MINI-DUAL using a laptop/workstation directly
connected to the device’s network port, or remotely over the network.
8.1 Initial Network Configuration
By factory default, the ATOMAS-MINI-DUAL is configured in DHCP. If you are not using a DHCP server it will
automatically allocate itself an APIPA (Automatic Private IP Addressing) address in the range 169.254.0.1 to
169.254.255.254, with subnet mask 255.255.0.0.
Initial device network configuration is done via the IonConfigTool (ICT), a tool provided by IONODES that can be
found on the company’s web site , under the Support > Tools section.
The ICT plays 5 important roles:
1.
Discovery of all ATOMAS-MINI-DUAL and other ION devices on the network
2.
Remote configuration of the IP address and subnet mask
3.
Identify an ION device by flashing the LED (orange/green)
4.
Batch firmware upgrade of all common ION devices
5.
Access to the web based ION management application
In order to better understand all of its functionalities, please check the ICT user manual.
Note: Your computer must be in the same subnet (169.254.*.*) in order to be able to communicate with
the ATOMAS-MINI-DUAL.
