Setting Up The Initial Network Configuration Remotely - IONODES ION-R200 User Manual

9.3 Setting Up the Initial Network Configuration Remotely

Initial device network configuration can also be done via the ION Configuration Tool (ICT), a tool provided by
IONODES and that can be found on the IONODES web site at www.ionodes.com.
The ICT plays several roles:
Discovery of all ION-R200 and other IONODES devices on the network
1.
Remote configuration of the IP address and subnet mask
2.
Applying batch firmware upgrade of all common IONODES devices
3.
Accessing a device's web-based management interface
4.
Once your device is installed on your network and powered up, launch the ICT from any computer located on
the same network as the device.
The ICT supports 2 methods for discovering a device on the network. The first method doesn't require any
configuration and uses the Bonjour discovery protocol. In order to be able to discover a device via Bonjour,
the network must support multicast IP.
If multicast is not supported, you can use the second method: Unicast Discovery. Unicast Discovery can be
configured by using the "Unicast Discovery" menu option under the Admin menu list.
