Page 14: Initial System Configuration
6.1 Network Configuration By factory default, the ION-E100 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. - Page 15 ION-E100 – User manual Once your device is installed on your network and powered up, launch ICT from any computer on the network and the following window will be displayed: The ICT supports 2 ways to discover a device. The first way doesn’t need any configuration and uses the Bonjour discovery protocol.
- Page 16 – User manual ION-E100 To configure the Unicast Discovery, add one or more IP address ranges. The Unicast Discovery tries to reach a device at a specific IP address in the configured ranges. The discovery can be a long process if the range of IP addresses is huge and the device is at the end of the range. To accelerate the discovery, add several small ranges of IP addresses.
- Page 17 ION-E100 – User manual If no DHCP server was able to assign an IP address to an ION-E100, it will appear in the ICT device list with an APIPA address (169.254.*.*). If an ION-E100 displays an APIPA address it must be configured with a valid IP address before it can be remotely configured by selecting the ‘’Assign IP address’’...

Page 25: Recording On The Edge
ION-E100 – User manual 8 Recording on the Edge In most setups, the ION-E100 is used to stream video and/or audio to an ION-R100 or to a central video management system (VMS). From there, the streams can be viewed «live» (in real time), recorded or both. - Page 26 – User manual ION-E100 The recording in the ION-E100 is configured using only a few parameters: Enabled: Determines whether recording on the edge is active. Current Recorder State: Provides information of the current state of the recorder. Possible states include Idle, Rebuilding Index and Active.
