[Odyssey-L] Adding two different entries in Odyssey with the same IP

[Paul Drake]

The libraries in our LOUIS consortia share the same Odyssey ip.

As Brian illustrates, ours would be 216.54.119.188/LHA

Or you could just get rid of the others and just keep McNeese State  :->)

Thanks Brian! It’s good to have a workaround, and to know that I’m not as dumb as I thought I might be (though that’s still a possibility). J

Greta and all Odyssey Standalone users; 

Yes, Odyssey Standalone was set up to not allow staff to add another address book entry if the IP address or symbol is already in your address book.  So I was surprised to hear that Greta had created different entries for LLM, LSH, and LUS which all have the same numerical IP address. 

But after monkeying around in there myself, I think I've found the workaround that Greta stumbled upon and that could potentially help many others! 

Let's pretend you're an Odyssey Standalone library and you want to have two address book entries:  one for library AAA and another for library BBB.  
Both are ILLiad libraries; library AAA has the IP address of 123.123.123.123/AAA and library BBB has the IP address of 123.123.123.123/BBB. 
If you've already created an entry for library AAA, Odyssey Standalone will not allow you to add a second entry for BBB because 123.123.123.123 is already in there. 
But although you can't **add**, it appears you can edit. 

Here's the trick: 
Add instead an entry in your address book for library BBB that has an IP address of 123.123.123.124 .  Note the incorrect number 4 on the end. 
After you click the Add button, then retrieve the entry in your Address Book, change 123.123.123.124 to 123.123.123.123 which is the correct IP and click the Save Changes button.  Voila!  You've tricked Odyssey and now have two different entries for two different symbols with the same IP.  
(Note:  Be sure to verify you have the correct suffix for each entry.) 

Thanks, Greta, for leading us down the path to this workaround. :-)

Hello All, 
  
I am using Odyssey stand-alone. I asked a similar question last month and thought I had things worked out, but theres still a wrinkle: 
  
When several institutions share an IP address but have their own symbol at the end (instead of ILL), the address book sometimes wont let me add the newest one. In this case, Im trying to send something to McNeese State U (LHA), and I already have entries at the same IP for LLM, LSH, and LUS. If it wont let me add LHA (an entry already exists with that IP and/or symbol), how did the 3 existing entries get there? Ive had this trouble in the past and have just monkeyed around until finally something clicked and it agreed to add the new symbol, but Id like to know the proper way to do it. Sometimes Ive even replaced an existing entry with the new information because its the only way I can get the symbol into my Address Book. 
  
Can anybody help? 
  
Thanks!
