dynamic IP address, to have a fixed host and domain name.
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 check out if the host name is valid and automatically open a port on your router�
Unlike DDNS, which requires a user to manually check out details about UPnP port forwarding,
the Express Link is more convenient and easy 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, or you may see the
following warning message: Express link is not supported under current network environment�
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 show a message as shown
