3xLOGIC VIGIL Server - Manual (Page 142)

10.9 VIGIL Connect Tab
VIGIL Connect allows for simplified connections to Server. When VIGIL Connect is enabled, you can configure Client to
connect with either the Systems Serial Number or an Alias instead of the IP Address. This is especially useful in sit-
uations where the IP Address of the VIGIL Server may change without notice.
Enable VIGIL Con-
nect
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.
Settings...
Opens the VIGIL Connect Settings window. In this window you can configure the Alias as well as the external
ports that are forwarded through your router.
Status Window
After saving the settings, the status window will show if the ports forward correctly, the connectivity status to
the Central VIGIL Connect Server and the Serial Number / Alias that you can use to connect to this Server.
Serial
Number
The Serial Number of the VIGIL Server.
Manual
Mode
If your router supports UPnP, this will be an optional check
box, leave the box unchecked and the VIGIL Server will use
UPnP to configure the router. If you check manual mode,
you must manually configure the port forwarding on your
router.
Alias
You can configure an easy to remember Alias for the VIGIL
Server so you do not have to remember the Serial Number.
Check
Availability
Click this button to communicate with the VIGIL Connect
Central Server and determine if the Alaias is available. All
Alias must be unique.
Internal
Port
This is the Port that the VIGIL Server is configured to use.
Port
Mapping
The Port Mapping is the port that will be configured in the
router. The port mapping ports can be different from the
internal ports. In the router you must configure the External
ports to forward to the Internal ports correctly. Please con-
sult your router documentation for information on how to
configure this.
