System Configuration; Initial Network Configuration - IONODES ATOMAS-IOT-DUAL User Manual

10 System Configuration

For initial set-up, the ATOMAS-IOT-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-
IOT-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-IOT-DUAL using a laptop/workstation directly
connected to the device's network port, or remotely over the network.

10.1 Initial Network Configuration

By factory default, the ATOMAS-IOT-DUAL is configured in DHCP.
Note: Please make sure to have a DHCP server on the network where the ATOMAS-IOT-DUAL is
connected.
Initial device network configuration is done via the IonConfigTool (ICT), a tool provided by IONODES that
can be downloaded from the company's web site (www.ionodes.com), under the Support > Tools section.
The ICT plays 5 important roles:
1. Discovery of all ATOMAS-IOT-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 in order to be able to communicate with the ATOMAS-
IOT-DUAL.
