Network configuration in IDS NXT Cockpit
).
9.1 Installing IDS peak
The installation package of the IDS peak is available for download from
Automatic finding of IDS NXT cameras only works if the following parameters are possible in
the network:
·

9.2 Updating the firmware
NOTICE!
The camera must obtain the IP address via DHCP for a firmware update. No static
IP address may be set. (see
Network configuration in IDS NXT Cockpit
).
Use the firmware update tool
ids_deviceupdate
to upload the firmware update to the camera using the GUF
file. The command line tool allows you to choose the camera explicitly for the update.
The firmware update of IDS NXT rio cameras can be started by double-clicking on the GUF
file.
1. Copy the firmware update tool and the GUF files into a directory, e.g. C:\GUF.
2. Open the command line tool in the GUF directory.
3. List all available cameras with:
ids_deviceupdate.exe --list-all
4. Select a camera e.g. based on the last digits of its serial number and start the update, e.g.
ids_deviceupdate -s *6675 --guf "C:\GUF\NXT_rio_rome_1.0.0.44.guf" -U
5. Confirm the update with "y".
A firmware update can take several minutes. Wait until it is finished.
IDS NXT rio is a complete system consisting of different components, therefore 2 version
numbers are distinguished during the update:
DeviceRuntimeSystemVersion
and
DeviceSensorFirmwareVersion
.
However, when querying
ids_deviceupdate --list-device-versions
, the camera
will not display a valid version number because this command queries the version number in
DeviceFirmwareVersion
.
