Zeyto can be reached in three ways, and each solves a different problem.
Inside the shop: LAN Security
Settings ▸ LAN Security shows the addresses other PCs, tablets and phones on the shop network use to open Zeyto. The one marked Best guess is most likely to work. Press Copy link or scan the QR code on a phone on the same Wi-Fi. The screen only shows information.
- If a device cannot open the address, check it is on the same shop network (not mobile data, a guest network or a VPN), and that Windows has the network set to Private. Public blocks other devices.
- If the server has several addresses (Docker, VPN, Hyper-V and WSL each add one), try the others.
- Plain HTTP is fine on a private network. On shared Wi-Fi turn on encryption (TLS): ask whoever looks after the computer to set Zeyto:Tls:Enabled in the Zeyto settings file and restart Edge. Then each device must trust the downloaded root certificate once.
Outside the shop: Remote & Mobile Access
To use Zeyto from home, another branch or on mobile data, this computer keeps a secure outbound connection to Zeyto. Nothing is opened on your router and you need no fixed internet address. Tick Allow remote and mobile access; it takes effect at once. Status Connected means it works. The Zeyto computer must be on and online.
| Need | How |
|---|---|
| Browser away from the shop | Create link (needs the Web module). Choose how long it Lasts: never expires, 1, 7, 30 or 90 days |
| Phone | Check Pairing readiness, Generate pairing code, scan the QR in the app (needs the Mobile module and a free mobile seat). The code works once and expires in five minutes |
| Zeyto Client PC away from the shop | Create pairing code and type it in the Client (Web module). It works once and expires in 15 minutes |
Turn off beside a link or a PC stops it working at once, even if that PC is switched off. Asking for a new Client pairing code retires the previous one.
Try it in the demo
- Open Settings ▸ LAN Security in the demo and find the best-guess address.
- Open Settings ▸ Remote & Mobile Access and read Connection status and Pairing readiness (look only).
- Read the options for a link's Lasts list and write down which licence modules each way in needs.
Public demo company, sign in as admin / demoAdmin123. Data refreshes nightly.
- LAN Security shows the shop-network addresses; Private network profile matters.
- Remote & Mobile Access needs no router changes.
- Links, phone codes and Client codes each expire differently.
- Turn off a link when it is no longer needed.
