Meditec Technical Support is limited to testing network connectivity of the Stratus
OCT. Technical Support cannot troubleshoot or repair problems with network
connectivity.
1. On the network file server, create a folder named “Stratus OCT Archive” or the like.
Make this a shared folder.
2. To ensure access to the shared folder on the network file server:
• On the Stratus OCT, create a new administrator account for use as the default
account. (See the instructions to create new accounts under
Password Protection
in Chapter 1.)
• On the server, create a new account with the same username and password as on the
Stratus OCT.
3. On the Stratus OCT, map a network drive to the shared folder you have created on the
server.
A. Open Windows Explorer: Right-click the Windows Start button and select Explore.
B. In Windows Explorer, select Map Network Drive from the Tools menu (click Tools
> Map Network Drive). The Map Network Drive dialog appears.
C. Select a drive letter.
D. Click Browse to find and select the shared folder you created on the network file
server. You will have to first find the file server name (machine name), and then
the folder. (Do not clear the Reconnect at logon checkbox, which is selected by
default.)
E. When you have selected the correct folder and returned to the Map Network Drive
dialog, click Finish. You have now mapped a network drive to the shared folder.
4. On the Stratus OCT instrument, you must register the new archive on the network file
server to make it current.
A. From the Stratus OCT MAIN WINDOW, select Register Archive from the Options
menu (click Options > Register Archive). The Archive Registration dialog appears.
B. In the Archive Registration dialog, click New. The New Archive Registration dialog
appears.
C. In the New Archive Registration dialog, the Archive Name field is made up of
two parts. The first part is generated automatically and cannot be changed; it is
composed of the model number, serial number and archive sequence number. You
can add a suffix to the name using the second part of the field, if you wish.
•The Mark as current checkbox is selected by default. Do not change this
selection if you wish to use the archive you are about to register as the current
archive.
