Software Interface
The BOA2 vision system is supplied with the iNspect Express vision application
embedded. This application offers a suite of vision capabilities to satisfy a diverse range
of automated inspection needs. The application interface is accessed through the
Ethernet connection using a PC with Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 or higher. You do not
need to install software on your host system to setup or operate the BOA2 system.
Take note of the following before attempting to access the application:
Getting Started
1.
BOA2 vision systems are preconfigured with a default static IP address of
192.168.0.100 and name dalsaboa2.
2.
The PC used to access BOA2 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
3.
The BOA static IP address can also be changed at any time through the BOA2
web server interface to match your Local Area Network. Click on the “Setup
Device” hot link to change the network address. Remember to keep a record of
what the new address is set to. BOA2 supports both DHCP and Static IP
addressing (preferred since the address does not change).
NOTE: A power cycle is required before the new address will take effect.
4.
If you incorrectly set, or forgot, the new address of your BOA2, you can run the
“iDiscover BOA” utility. This program is installed automatically when you click on
the “iNspect Express” or “upgrade” hot links in the web server interface. You can
also manually install it from the iNspect Express emulator CD.
5.
In most cases you will need administrator privileges on your PC to access BOA2.
It may be necessary to customize the security settings on your browser to
download and run ActiveX controls.
6.
If for any reason you can not access BOA2 from your internet browser, you can
install the emulator application from the shipping CD and connect to the camera
through this interface. This step is explained in more detail later in the manual.
7.
BOA2 is compatible with host computers running the Windows 7, 8.1 or 10
operating system.
NOTE: See document “BOA Troubleshooting Guide” on the CD.
