Idiscover Utility - Teledyne BOA Spot ID Series Quick Start Manual

The iDiscover BOA Utility
The iDiscover utility attempts to discover all BOA Spot sensors connected to the local
network. iDiscover is installed on the client PC when a BOA Spot sensor is first
connected, or as part of the emulator installation.
The iDiscover program can be launched in one of three ways:
a. If the PC has previously been used to interface a BOA Spot Vision Sensor, then the
iDiscover program resides in the windows System32 directory. To invoke, open the
command prompt ("Start>Programs>Run"), type "iDiscover" and click "OK"
b. If the PC has not previously been used to interface a BOA Spot sensor, you must
first install the BOA Spot Emulator software. Once installed, the program can be
invoked from the iDiscover shortcut
Express Emulator for BOASpot>Discover BOASpot
c. A separate copy of iDiscover is provided on the CD that ships with BOA Spot. You
can copy this to your PC, or run it directly from the CD. Right-click and select "Run
as Administrator".
The left panel shows the MAC addresses of all reachable BOA Spot sensors. Blue
cameras have compatible addresses. Red cameras have incompatible addresses.
1. Click on a camera, to populate the associated network configuration on the right.
2. You can then change the BOA Spot IP address to match the associated NIC settings
displayed in the panel above, and then click "Apply".
3. Connect to a compatible BOA Spot by clicking on a camera in the left, and then
clicking on "Connect To Device". This will open the web server (next page, step 3).
