E-Mail Link
Clicking on the “E-Mail This Link” icon corresponding to the archive
can automatically open an e-mail message in user’s default mail client
(Outlook, Outlook Express, Lotus Note etc.) to send a link to the archive as
part of the body of an e-mail.
The user just needs to fill in the recipient’s e-mail address. The e-mail’s
default subject will be “You are invited to view this archive”. After the
recipient receives the e-mail, they can find the playback address for the
archive in the e-mail. They can enter the playback address in their
browser’s address field and press the Enter key to view the video. In
addition, a user also can open their Windows Media Player software and
enter the playback address in the dialog box under “File → Open URL” to
view the video. Make sure that the network the recipient is on can
communicate normally with Polycom® RSS™ 4000 to make playback
successful.
The default video playback address in the e-mail includes the link to the
Polycom® RSS™ 4000 LAN 1 port IP address. If the network the Polycom®
RSS™ 4000 is on is behind a firewall, external users usually cannot access the
Polycom® RSS™ 4000’s private address to play the video. When this
happens, set a public network IP or DNS name in the “External IP/DNS
name” page in “System Configuration → IP Configuration”. After this,
video playback e-mails sent will provide a video playback address that
includes the public network IP address or DNS name. For more details
about external IP settings, please refer to IP Address Settings.

This is the reason that the email link option is available only for the administrator who
can make the decision if to use this functionality..
