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 Talon 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.
