Software Interface
Change the Address Using a Web Browser
The BOA static IP address can be changed through the Sherlock Embedded Web
Server interface to match your Local Area Network. BOA is compatible with host
computers running the Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7 operating systems. The
following browsers have been tested: Microsoft Internet Explorer version 8, Mozilla
Firefox 5.0.1, Google Chrome 13.0.782.220.
1.
The PC used to access BOA initially will need to be configured on the same
network neighborhood, but with a different address (i.e. 192.168.0.101). Consult
your system administrator for instructions on how to do this. The subnet mask
should be set automatically to 255.255.255.0.
NOTE: Write down or capture the
PCs original network address settings before making any changes.
2.
Launch your web browser, and type the BOA Pro address in the address bar. The
factory default address is: 129.168.0.100.
3.
Hover on “Device” and select “Network Setup” to change the network address or
name. BOA supports both DHCP and Static IP addressing. Static is usually
preferred since the address does not change.
NOTE: A power cycle is required before the new address or name will take effect.
4.
Close your web browser. Change the network settings back the their previous
settings. Usually you do not need to reboot a PC after changing the network
addressing.
If you incorrectly set, or forgot, the new address of your BOA Pro, you can run the
“
iDiscover
” utility. This utility is installed automatically when you install the Sherlock
Embedded Client software on a PC.
In most cases you will need administrator privileges on your PC to access BOA. It may
be necessary to customize the security settings on your browser.
NOTE: See the document “Configuring Windows for BOA” on the BOA Pro CD-ROM.
