Setting the Network Address From the Front Panel
Network addressing is usually performed automatically by the
Rendezvous technology built into the Odyssey
®
instrument and the
Odyssey application software. However, the front panel keypad of
the Odyssey instrument can be used to manually select the method
(DHCP or Static) by which the network IP address is assigned to the
instrument. These functions, as well as other network parameters,
can also be set using the browser software as described in Chapter 8.
To enter the IP address, follow these steps:
1) Press the
Stop
and
Next
buttons simultaneously.

Static
or
DHCP
using the
Next
button. For the purpose
of this discussion, choose
Static
and press
Start (Y)

Start (Y)
to
scroll through numbers 0 through 9. When the correct number is
displayed press
Next
to move the cursor to the next number.
Continue to enter each of the numbers in the IP address in this
manner.
4) When finished entering the address, press
Next
again. A prompt

Starting Scans From the Front Panel
Scan parameters, including resolution, quality, intensity, the size and
origin of the area to be scanned, and the focus offset can be saved in
a configuration file called a
Preset
. These Presets are created and
stored in the Odyssey Imager using the Scan page of the Odyssey
Server Software (Chapter 6). Once stored, Presets can be chosen
when starting scans from the front panel keypad. All the scan para-
meters are automatically set by the Preset. Starting scans from the
front panel can save time for repetitive scans with membranes or gels
