Express link
Express Link is a free service provided by VIVOTEK server, which allows users to register
a domain name for a network device. One URL can only be mapped to one MAC address.
This service will examine if the host name is valid and automatically open a port on your
router. If using DDNS, the user has to manually congure UPnP port forwarding. Express
Link is more convenient and easier to set up.
Please follow the steps below to enable Express Link:
1. Make sure that your router supports UPnP port forwarding and it is activated.
2. Check Enable express link.
3. Enter a host name for the network device and click Save. If the host name has been used by
another device, a warning message will show up. If the host name is valid, it will display a
message as shown below.
