6 Initial System Configuration
For initial set-up, the ION-E100-HD 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 ION-E100-HD 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 ION-E100-HD using a laptop directly
connected to the device’s network port, or remotely over the network
.
6.1 Network Configuration
By factory default, the ION-E100-HD 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 and that can be found on the company’s web site.
The ICT plays 5 important roles:
1.
Discovery of all ION-E100-HD 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/yellow)
4.
Batch firmware upgrade of all common ION devices
5.
Access to the web based ION management application
