5 Mounting and alignment
Mount the IDS NXT vegas in the slot profiles on the rear of the device using the slot nuts supplied and
appropriate M4 screws. To ensure optimum heat dissipation, the IDS NXT vegas should be fitted on a mount
with good thermal conductivity.
Slot profiles on the rear
Remove the protective foil from IDS NXT vegas. The device should be mounted with a slight tilt from the
perpendicular to the object surface to avoid any light reflection that may occur. The optimum tilt angle depends
on the reflection properties of the objects used.

Setup: IDS NXT vegas
Mounting with tilt angle
When mounting the IDS NXT vegas observe the working distances specified in the data sheet. You can use the
IDS NXT field of view calculator to determine the optimum working distance for your application: http://www.ids-
nxt.com/nxt-fieldofview.html
Information on operating and ambient conditions can be found under Ambient conditions.
6 Installing IDS NXT Cockpit
The installation package for the IDS NXT software is available for download from www.ids-nxt.com. To install,
follow the instructions in the installation wizard.
IDS NXT Cockpit is currently available for Windows 64-bit. You should have an up-to-date
graphics card driver installed for an optimum display.

You can use the display to obtain various status information for the IDS NXT vegas. In normal operation, the
display is switched off after 10 seconds. Briefly press the button to activate the display and to move through
the subsequent screens.

1x brief press to activate the display, and a brief press to move to the subsequent screens
· General info
· Device name and version
· Network info
1x long press opens a second menu after the text “Release button for menu” is displayed. The following menu
options are available (1x brief press to scroll):
· Close menu
· Reset network
· Restore factory settings
NOTICE! The menu options are automatically performed when the bar below the text has
progressed from left to right.
1x press without releasing
If the button is held down after the “Release button for menu” text, the text “Device reset in a few seconds”
appears. At this point, the reset can still be canceled by releasing the button (“Close menu” is displayed). If the
button is held down, an electric reset is performed. The device reboots.
9 Initial setup in network
A network connection must be established for initial commissioning of the IDS NXT vision app-based sensor.
As supplied, the IDS NXT vision app-based sensor attempts to get an IP address from a DHCP server in the
network. On the display, you can immediately check whether a valid IP address has been assigned. For details
of how to operate the display, refer to IDS NXT vegas display.

September 2018 10
Setup: IDS NXT vegas
9.1 Getting an IP address
During the initial network setup, the following situations can occur: (1) Valid IP via DHCP, (2) Valid IP via
Zeroconf, (3) No connection/link
IDS NXT is waiting for a DHCP
address
(1) IDS NXT has a valid IP via a
DHCP server
(2) IDS NXT in Zeroconf mode
(3) <%PROUCT%> has no
network cable connection
In an IPv4 network with no DHCP server, in DHCP mode the device uses the Zeroconf method to independently
acquire a valid IP address from the reserved link-local address range. Zeroconf mode is indicated by “DHCP(*)”
in the display. If your client PC is also in the link-local address range for this IPv4 network, you can establish a
network connection to the IDS NXT vision app-based sensor for the initial setup. If there is no network cable
connection or no compatible remote station, “No connection” appears in the display.
You can also use the IDS NXT Cockpit to assign the IDS NXT vision app-based sensor a static
IP address. You can only do this if there is already a valid network connection (DHCP, Zeroconf).
See Network configuration in IDS NXT Cockpit.
IDS NXT vision app-based sensor with static IP address
If the display shows "Manual" mode, a static IP address has been assigned to the device during a previous
setup. If you cannot access this IP address or want to reset the device to DHCP, you can reset the network
settings on the device directly.

address
9.2 Editing network settings
To set the network parameters for a IDS NXT vision app-based sensor, use the IDS NXT Cockpit. It enables
complete setup and configuration of IDS NXT vision app-based sensors, including the IDS NXT vision apps (see
IDS NXT Cockpit installation). The IDS NXT Cockpit is described in the manual "IDS NXT – Operation".

September 2018 11
Setup: IDS NXT vegas
9.3 Establishing a connection
Start the IDS NXT Cockpit.
· Windows: either via the icon on the desktop or under "Start > All prgrams > IDS > NXT > IDS NXT Cockpit".
After launching, you will be in the “Device overview”. IDS NXT Cockpit scans the network for IDS NXT vision app-
based sensors and lists them in this overview. A log-on to IDS NXT vision app-based sensors is possible by
direct entry of an IP address.
Automatic finding of IDS NXT vision app-based sensors only works if the following parameters are
possible in the network:
· UDP broadcasts via Port 5055 ("Finder” queries from IDS NXT Cockpit)
· TCP response from devices via Port 5055
More detailed information on the sensors found can be displayed by clicking on them.
Display of IDS NXT vision app-based sensors with device information
If you have connected multiple sensors, the "Find me" button is useful. The corresponding IDS NXT vision app-
based sensor then emits a brief acoustic and visual signal (device display flashes) to identify itself. The logon
button takes you to the relevant device logon.

Setup: IDS NXT vegas
9.4 Logging on to IDS NXT vision app-based sensor
Several access profiles
Via the selection, select the user class that you want to use to log on to the device. There are three basic user
classes that are used.
Administrator
The administrator profile allows full access to the IDS NXT vision app-based sensor
configuration. Everything is possible, from firmware updates to installation and
adjustment of IDS NXT vision apps.
Service
This user profile can be used to perform service activities. Specified settings can be
changed, for example to respond to changed production specifications. These include
camera settings (brightness, focus, etc.) and settings for the IDS NXT vision apps.
User
This user profile provides shop floor employees, for example, with status information for
a IDS NXT vision app-based sensor so that they can directly find information about fault
conditions.
The passwords for the “admin” and “service” user classes are “ids” when delivered. They can be
changed using the administrator profile. No password is necessary for the “user” user class. How
to change passwords is described in the manual "IDS NXT – Operation".
9.5 Network configuration in IDS NXT Cockpit
After logging onto a IDS NXT vision app-based sensor you will see the “Dashboard”, which displays a range of
device information. To set the network parameters select the network settings dialog (“Network”) under
“Configuration”.
