Page 53: Common Startup Issues
Troubleshooting Common Problems Problems Changing the Address Problem: BOA Spot disappears in iDiscover after clicking “Apply”. Does not reappear. Reason: BOA Spot must be rebooted for the new address to take effect. Solution: Close iDiscover. Cycle power to the BOA Spot. Wait for the boot to complete (about 20-30 seconds). - Page 54 Problem: When I click the “iNspect” link, an error message says ActiveX cannot be installed or security settings are preventing ActiveX installation. Reason 1: Internet Explorer Security settings, or Windows Firewall. Solution 1: Refer to instructions on pages 34-37 on configuring the PC for BOA Spot. Disable the firewall.
- Page 55 Problem: I cannot reconnect to the BOA Spot. I keep getting a message to run iAssistant and clean the system. But running iAssistant and cleaning is not fixing this problem. Reason: Either the BOA Spot or the PC may be “stuck” with a running process that does not quit when is should.
