How to Access BOA Spot

The BOA Spot Vision Sensor is supplied with the vision software embedded. The
application runs directly on the device and does not require a PC connection at runtime.
However, a PC client is required to access, setup and store a solution (job file) on the
device. We provide two methods for accessing the application from the client PC
(normally Method 2 is not required):
• Method 1: Web Interface (first choice)
The iNspect for BOA Spot application is accessed directly using the web server
interface through Microsoft Internet Explorer. CD not required, BOA Spot will self-
install any needed software on the client PC. You need to know the IP address of
your BOA. This Method is covered in this section. BOA Spot is compatible with
Internet Explorer versions 6 through 11. BOA Spot is not compatible with Microsoft
Edge.
• Method 2: Using the BOA Spot Emulator (alternate choice)
The iNspect for BOA Spot application is accessed indirectly using the "Connect to a
BOA Spot Sensor" shortcut from the Emulator installation. BOA Spot CD is required.
Version on CD must match firmware on BOA Spot. The "Connect to a BOA Spot
sensor" shortcut will automatically scan your network for available BOA Spot
sensors, you do not need to know the IP addresses. This Method is covered later in
the manual.
Note: For Either Method, you must configure the network options of the client PC.
