Installation and User Manual
Introduction
This manual is designed to make installing and using the BODET Detect software as easy as possible.
The Installation procedure section guides you through installing the software on your computer.
The Using the software section takes you through the software's features.
The final section, Web interface, details the pages presented by a clock's web server.
Monitored Bodet clocks are configured via a web interface. All clock parameters can be remotely
configured: illumination, alarms (shocks sustained, synchronisation, hand position, etc.), time zone, and
more.
BODET Detect can copy configured alarms from one clock to another:
- Synchronisation
- Hand position
- Shocks sustained
- Clock opened
- Illumination
- Battery status
- Loss of mains power
- Temperature

Displays the names of the monitored clocks with each clock's DHCP status, IP address, subnet mask,

MAC address, network gateway and DNS address.
3 Opens a new program window (see below) to configure the network parameters of the selected clock
either manually or automatically (by checking Enable DHCP). If you do not have a DHCP server, a
default value is used (172.17.30.110). In this case the parameter values must be entered in this
window (with Enable DHCP unchecked).
4 Saves a configuration as a .BOD file. Load or copy a configuration to one or several clocks. When
loading or copying a configuration, a new window will open so you can easily copy your chosen
backup settings:

6 Displays and refreshes the status for all clocks. Double-clicking on the indicated value opens a new
window summarising the status of the newly-installed clock:

address, gateway address, DNS address, MAC address, clock type and software version (including the
launch date).
When a clock is present on a local network, it is automatically detected once the software is launched (if this
is not the case, press the Search Devices button to refresh the list).
Or scan the products on the network from a range of IP addresses by clicking on Add from range:
The presence of the padlock indicates that the clock is password-protected. This password is used to
10
access the web server, updates for the firmware and a copy of the parameters.
In order to simplify management of the clocks, we strongly recommend applying the same password to all
clocks on your local network.
E.g.: when copying a configuration to several clocks at the same time, you will only be asked for your
password once. It is considerably simpler to enter a single password for 50 clocks rather than 50 separate
passwords.
If your password is different for each clock, any copy operations are rendered impossible.
However, there is a way to set an identical password for all of your clocks.
This involves setting the configuration of one clock hand, then loading it to all of your devices,
remembering to tick the System checkbox (which contains the login identifier and password). The login
identifier and password will then be identical across all clocks on your local network.
1- Apply power to the clocks and set them in the INIT mode. Coming out of the factory all the clocks
have the INIT mode active. For the clocks connected to another Wi-Fi network it is necessary to set
them in the INT mode via the technician menu (refer to the manual 608331).
2- Start Bodet Detect on the PC (a laptop enables you to move around in the building).
4- Select in the drop-down list the Wi-Fi network (SSID) to which the clocks ought to be connected (the
security type WPA/WPA2 PSK is automatically selected as soon as the network is selected).
- The “Load configuration” button allows you to load from the PC an already existing configuration.
-The “Skip” button allows you to go right on to the next step. The parameters are not modified and
the clock will keep its already existing Network configuration.
7- The tick box “Enable DHCP” is checked by default. To enter a fixed IP address the tick box must be
unchecked.
An X in the Network tab indicates that the Network configuration was ignored (skipped).

This page lists all the Wi-Fi clocks which have not
yet been configured along with the clocks
which are configured in the Wi-Fi network.
12- By default the tick box is checked indicating that all the clocks in the “WiFi clocks not
configured” list will be configured. If you do not wish to configure all the clocks uncheck this tick box
and select individually the ones you wish to configure.

Installation and User Manual
13- Click on “Start configuration” to start the process. The clock with the best reception level will be
configured first.
The password to the Access Point is asked only when connecting to the first clock. This password is
used to secure the clocks.
15- Enter and confirm the password of your choice. This password will be identical for all the clocks
connected to this network and will not be asked again.
17- When the clock is configured, it is moved from the “WiFi clocks not configured” list to the “Wifi
clocks configured” list and a dialog box opens up to ask you if you wish to configured the next clock.
The clock with the best reception level is automatically selected for configuration.

18- Again the configuration of this clock must be confirmed but the password will not be required. All
the clocks of Wi-Fi network have the same password to their Access Point.
The steps 16 to 18 will be repeated until all the clocks are configured.
19- To stop the inventory of the clocks and the configuration process click on the button:
20- The following page is displayed making it possible to save a backup copy of the configuration on the
PC. It is also possible to save a report of the configuration which can be consulted on a spreadsheet.

Glossary
IP address: An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a unique hierarchical address which enables any device to be
located on the Internet. It consists of four bytes (four integers in the range 0 to 255).
Network mask: The subnet mask indicates what part of the IP address is used to address the network, and
which is reserved for identifying a specific device on the network. In principle, the subnet mask does not affect
the data packets sent over the network by a device. However, it does affect the operation of the local network
software, by indicating how the IP address should be interpreted. There is a default subnet mask for each type
of address class, which indicates how the address should be interpreted in the normal case. The following
table lists the default masks:
Address class Subnet mask
A 255.0.0.0
B 255.255.0.0
C 255.255.255.0
DNS address: Every device or computer directly connected to the Internet has at least one IP address assigned
to it. However, rather than working with numeric addresses such as 194.153.205.26, users prefer to deal with
a domain name or more precise addresses (known as FQDN, Fully Qualified Domain Names) such as
"www.bodet.com".
These more easily memorable names are associated with numeric addresses through the system known as
DNS (Domain Name System).
Matching IP addresses to the associated domain name is referred to as domain name resolution (or address
resolution).
Gateway: A "gateway" is a hardware and software system which connects two networks, providing an
interface between different network protocols.
DHCP protocol: DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) enables a device or computer connecting to a
network to dynamically obtain its configuration (mainly its network configuration) without intervention. The
device only needs to be instructed to find its IP address via DHCP. The main purpose of DHCP is to simplify
network administration.
MAC address: A unique number identifying a network device. This is a unique hexadecimal number identifying
each hardware device: each manufacturer defines the MAC addresses for its own products.
