Connecting your Talon Encoder
Important! Talon Encoders ship from the factory in DHCP mode. Please ensure your host PC and Talon are connected to the same
network supporting DHCP.
1. Connect Talon to your network using a CAT5 or faster Ethernet cable
2. Connect Talon to power using the supplied 12V adapter. Ensure the barrel connector is fully engaged and locked
3. Power up Talon with the front power switch
•Red “Power” LED will turn blue once the booting process is complete
•The assigned IP address will display (4K-SC only). This might take up to a minute
4. Connect to Talon from your host PC
•Option #1: Type the IP address into your web browser
•Option #2: Download “Boss Pro” from www.ospreyvideo.com to find all Talon on your network
5. Default login credentials
•Username: admin
•Password: osprey
Setting up Talon without Network access or with Network without DHCP server using APIPA
1. Verify your PC is set to Automatic IP
2. Connect Talon direct to your PC with an Ethernet cable (ensure the PC doesn’t have network connection though Wifi, USB, etc)
3. Follow above instructions beginning with step 2.
APIPA - Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) is a feature of Windows-based OS -- included since Windows 98 and Windows ME
-- that enables a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol client to automatically assign an IP address to itself when there's no DHCP
server available to perform that function.
