7. SMARTCONNECT WEB APPLICATION
The SmartConnect Controller is also compatible with BouMatic’s SmartLite detacher and 4-Input units. For information
on configuring those devices, refer to
literature 1027
and
1028
.
7.1 BROWSER REQUIREMENTS
To access the SmartConnect web application, use the latest version of one of the following web browsers:
• PC: Chrome, Firefox, or Internet Explorer
• Mac: Safari, Chrome, or Firefox
• iOS: Safari
• Android: Chrome or Firefox
Note!
Google Chrome is the recommended web browser for the SmartConnect software. Compatibility with
other web browsers is not warranted.
7.2 ACCESS SMARTCONNECT OVER A LOCAL AREA NETWORK (LAN)
From a computer on the same local network as the network controller, it is possible to access the controller software
even if there is no outside internet connection. To connect from a local computer, type the controller’s IP address into
the browser. The IP address is visible on the controller’s display screen. If bonjour utility is installed on a computer in the
local network, the controller can be located by typing in the browser: boumatic-control.
7.3 ACCESS SMARTCONNECT OVER THE INTERNET
If the network controller is connected to the internet, use a web browser anywhere to access the network’s full control
and monitoring features.
Each active controller has its own URL, based on its serial number or creating a unique alias. If an alias has been created,
either format can be used. The URL is formulated as follows: https://[serial number or alias].bm-parlor.com.
All serial numbers start with the prefix bmc: bmcXXXX. The serial number is located with a visible sticker inside the
controller device. For example, if a controller’s serial number is
bmc0777
and its alias is cowhouse, a user can enter
either of these URLs to access the web application:
• https://bmc0777.bm-parlor.com
• https://cowhouse.bm-parlor.com
7.4 SECURE ACCESS TO THE WEB APPLICATION
When the system is initially set up, the web application does not require a login. Any user has full access to the site
without logging in. BouMatic recommends setting up an administrative user and password right away to secure the
parlor’s operational settings. For information on how to set up a user with the administrator role, refer to
literature 1066.
