NOTE: A power cycle is required before the new address will take effect.
4. If you incorrectly set, or forgot, the new address of your BOA Spot, you can run the
"iDiscover" utility. This program is installed automatically when you click on the
"iNspect" or "Upgrade Device" hot links in the web server interface. You can also
manually copy iDiscover from the BOA Spot CD, or run it directly from the CD.
iDiscover works in most, but not all cases. We highly recommend keeping a record
of the IP address.
5. In most cases you will need administrator privileges on your PC to access BOA
Spot. It may be necessary to customize the security settings on your browser to
download and run ActiveX controls.
6. If for any reason you can not access BOA Spot from your internet browser, you can
install the emulator application from the CD and connect to the sensor through this
interface (see page 51).
