Install the network cable
1. For both the Stratus OCT and the review station PC, plug one end of a standard
network patch cable into the computer ethernet port. Plug the other end of the cable
into the office network outlet.
Create a common Administrator user account
Note: If you are using a file server to transfer Stratus data, create and use a user
account with the same username and password on all three network endpoints: the
Stratus instrument, the network file server and the review station PC. Follow the
instruction below.
1. 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 of the Stratus OCT User Manual.)
2. On the review station (and the server), create and always use a new Administrator
account (Windows 2000) or Computer administrator account (Windows XP) with the
same username and password as on the Stratus OCT. To access user account settings:
• In Windows 2000, click Start > Settings > Control Panel > User Accounts.
• In Windows XP, click Start > Control Panel > User Accounts.
Configure the Review Station PC
Note: Most networks use a DHCP server to automatically assign an IP address to the
review station PC and the Stratus instrument. In this case, you can skip these
instructions to
Configure the Review Station PC, and those in the next section to
Configure the Stratus OCT. Skip ahead to On the Review Station PC: Create a
shared folder on page B-9. If your network uses static IP addresses, follow the
instructions below.
1. Open the Network Connections dialog:
For systems running Windows 2000, select Start > Settings > Network and Dial-up
Connections.
OR
For systems running Windows XP, select Start > Control Panel > Network Connec-
tions.
