• Synchronizing with registered network archives from networked Stratus OCT
instruments and from other instances of Stratus Review Software.
Note: The simplest way to transfer data from a Stratus instrument to a review
station is to register the network archive to which the Stratus instrument
automatically archives and synchronize on the review station PC.
See Chapter (5), Ar
chive and Retrieve, and Chapter (6), Import and Export Scan
Data, for instructions to archive, retrieve, import, export and synchronize Stratus OCT
data.
WARNING: Risks of Internet Connectivity
Networking is to be limited to a local area network, intranet or a direct cable
connection. We strongly recommend that you do not access the Internet with
the Stratus OCT, nor expose the Stratus OCT to the Internet through its
connection to the local area network. Accessing the Internet with the Stratus
OCT can disable or degrade system performance. When exposed to the
Internet, the Stratus OCT is vulnerable to serious security risks, including
viruses and worms that could disable your system or adversely affect its
performance. Internet connectivity enables third party software, software
drivers and operating system updates to be downloaded to your system,
either automatically or intentionally. Installation of any unapproved software,
including drivers and operating system updates, could degrade the
performance of the instrument and/or lead to corrupted diagnostic or
therapeutic information and may void the instrument warranty.
Note: Stratus OCT Software Version 7.0 is compatible with Windows 2000 Service
Pack 4, which is primarily a security update to the Windows operating system.
Therefore, if you connect the Stratus OCT to an office network, we encourage you to
install Service Pack 4.
• It may be possible to install printer drivers for network
printing, but this is not
supported by Carl Zeiss Meditec. See the section: Network Activities Not
Supported below.
