Locating Talon with Osprey BOSS
Talon is managed via a web based GUI that can be accessed over the network by most web browsers. All
you need to do is type the IP address of the Talon you wish to access into the address bar of the
browser. The simplest way to determine the IP address is to power up Talon and connect it to the LAN.
Once it is fully booted up and on the network, Osprey BOSS will locate it and notify you of the IP
address.
BOSS can be used if you do not know the exact IP address of your Talon systems. BOSS discovers Talon
devices on the network by broadcasting data packets to all IP addresses within your PC’s subnet (i.e. the
IP range that your PC is currently in). This
means that the computer that is hosting BOSS should be on
the same IP subnet as Talon.
To locate all Tal
on devices on your subnet, click the “Locate Devices” button on the BOSS interface.
BOSS will populate with the Serial number, Device name, IP and MAC Address along with the Description
for all Talon encoders on this subnet.
To access a specific Talon, click on its Serial Number and you will be taken to the web GUI.
The “Always Listen” check box is only valid for Talon versions 1.6.0.212 and above. Checking will cause
BOSS to continually refresh Talon information without pressing “Locate Devices” again.
