10.10 VIGIL Connect Tab
VIGIL Connect allows for simplified connections to Server. When VIGIL Connect is enabled, you can configure a VIGIL Client to con-
nect with either the system's Serial Number or an Alias instead of the IP Address. This is especially useful in situations where the IP
Address of the VIGIL Server may change without notice.
Enable VIGIL
Connect
Check to enable VIGIL Connect. The first time you enable this option the system will check if your router is
UPnP enabled. If it is, the port forwarding will be automatically created in the router for you. If it is not, you
will receive a message stating this and that you will need to create the port forwarding in the router yourself.
Please consult the documentation for your specific router for how to create port forwarding.
Serial Number The Serial Number of the VIGIL Server.
Alias
You can configure an easy to remember Alias for the VIGIL Server so you do not have to remember the Serial
Number. The alias is case sensitive.
Check Avail-
ability
Click this button to communicate with the VIGIL Connect Central Server and determine if the Alias is
available. All Alias must be unique.
Advanced Set-
tings...

Internal Port and Port Mapping values here to manually enter into your router's port forwarding.
