For more difficult questions or inquiries please search our Knowledge
Community - it's comprised of common questions that have been submitted to our
Technical Support team from users like you from across the globe. Or,
simply email us directly.


TECHNICAL SUPPORT

EMAIL SUPPORT

Assisting our customers is a primary concern, and Ovid recognizes that not every
problem occurs during normal business hours. That is why Ovid offers 24 hour
worldwide technical support for our customers.
Now, any time you have a technical issue, such as a problem logging in or
accessing your Ovid resources, a Technical Support engineer will be available to
assist you.

Still need answers? Email tech support directly and we’ll be sure to respond
within one business day.

PHONE SUPPORT

Ovid's 24/7 support commitment is made possible by the addition of new 24-hour
Technical Support phone numbers. Calling these numbers after local business
hours routes your call to a representative in the office that is currently open.
To speak with a representative from your regional office, you must call during
that office's normal business hours. Note that this 24 hour service is for
technical support issues only: sales, customer service, and other questions
should continue to be made to your local office during normal business hours.

Ovid is a global company, with technical support engineers available in sales
offices around the world. Contact us during normal business hours: Monday-
Friday 8:30am - 8:00pm EST, but if your call is received outside business hours
it will be routed to an open office in another time zone.

Note about bookmarking:

If you wish to bookmark Ovid pages, please use ovidsp.ovid.com only. Including
“dc1”, “dc2”, etc could compromise your access to Ovid. For example, do NOT
bookmark URLs like these: ovidsp.dc1.ovid.com or ovidsp.dc2.ovid.com.

If your network configuration requires detailing specific names, please review
the following entries. If you whitelist *.ovid.com then there is no need to add
these specific targets. Whitelisting the CNAMES (*.dc1.ovid.com and
*.dc2.ovid.com) or *.ovid.com will be sufficient for many customers.

Network traffic between Ovid and your site
All network traffic from Ovid to your site should be in response to requests
which users have generated. Thus, if your site is using a stateful packet
inspection (SPI) firewall, you should not have to open any ports on your
firewall. Email is the exception, and you should allow TCP/25 from the address
ranges listed below.

Should you use a non-SPI firewall, you will need to allow ephemeral (high
numbered) TCP port access from the following IP address ranges. Ovid runs out of
two AWS regions, EU-WEST-1 and EU-EAST-1. The AWS URL to reference for IP
information:
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/aws-ip-ranges.html#subscribe-notifications.

To ensure proper delivery of email, customers are encouraged to explicitly
whitelist our mail server IP addresses and e-mail accounts: 54.240.44.35,
Ovid_Online@ovid.com, ovidinfo@ovid.com, webman@ovid.com, autorun@ovid.com,
wkh-noreply@wolterskluwer.com, and mrcspsadmin@ovid.com

Note about Blacklists
As protection against spam, it's common for companies to enlist the use of
"blacklists". Blacklists are lists maintained by independent organizations
containing addresses of mail servers believed to be used to produce spam. Ovid's
mail server and the IP addresses used to send alerts included above, at times
can inadvertently get listed on these blacklists. This happens because our alert
system is quite popular by our customers and as such, produces enough emails
that it can occasionally be mistaken for spam distribution. Unfortunately, for
customers who haven't explicitly listed our mail server IP as valid, the
blacklist causes their mail server to reject connections from our mail server.

Once Ovid learns of any inadvertent blacklisting, we have the IP removed from
the blacklists, however we can't guarantee it won't end up back on them at some
point in the future. To avoid problems with email delivery for users of Ovid's
AutoAlert and email functions, we strongly recommend our customers add the
ranges above to be explicitly whitelisted.

If you have any questions, please contact your Ovid Technical Support team.

Z39.50 SERVER INTEROPERABILITY TESTING

Ovid Technologies is a prominent member of the Z39.50 Implementor's Group
("ZIG") which is the standard-setting body for the Z39.50 interoperability
protocol. So that other members of the Z39.50 software development community can
test their clients for compatibility with the Ovid Z39.50 Server, we provide
free, unlimited access to sample databases mounted on an Ovid Z39.50 Server
using the latest released version of the software.

The information necessary to configure any given Z39.50 client to connect to an
Ovid Z39.50 Server is shown below. Consult your client software documentation to
determine how to enter these parameters.

If you have any questions or problems when connecting to the Ovid Z39.50 Server
with a non-Ovid client, please bring them to our attention as soon as possible
by emailing support@ovid.com.
