System Configuration
For initial set-up, the ATOMAS-MINI 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 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 using a laptop directly
connected to the device’s network port, or remotely over the network.
Network Configuration
By factory default, the ATOMAS-MINI 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 ATOMAS-MINI 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
