NetLinx Security within the Web Server
130
NetLinx Security - Web Server
 Any available modules on either the amx.com, AMX's partner website, or within the
physical device itself are downloaded to the Master and then displayed back within the
Select Device Module page (FIG. 84 on page 126). The discovered device is then shown
with an adjacent listing of available modules ranked with associated "match" score.
- The location of these modules can be either indeterminate (in which case they will
reside on the amx.com website) or in some cases be required by the manufacturer to
reside in their own specific source location (such as the manufacturer’s own website
or found within the target unit itself).
 The installer can then select which module to use with that discovered device by selecting
the corresponding radio box and then clicking the upper-left Save button. This action
then returns the installer back to the View Discovered Devices page.
3. For Dynamically bound modules:
 Begin the process of binding the Dynamic application device with the newly discovered
physical device by navigating to the Manage Other Devices > Manage Device Bindings
page. Dynamic application devices that have not been bound to a physical device display
a Bind button.
 Click the Bind button adjacent to the desired device.
 From the secondary window, choose the appropriate physical device from the listing of
all available unbound physical devices which matches the application device's Device
SDK class type (FIG. 82 on page 124).
The Duet Module is started immediately after being “bound” which then causes an ONLINE event
to be received by the NetLinx program for the Duet Virtual device.
Accessing an SSL-Enabled Master via an IP Address
Once the target Master has been fully configured with an SSL certificate, user/group access rights,
and System level security parameters, the administrator (or comparably authorized user) can decide
to require additional security on the Master by making any consecutive access to the Master be
done via a HTTPS (a secure version of HTTP communication). Refer to the Setting the Master’s
Port Configurations section on page 94 for more information on this process.
1. Launch your web browser.
2. Enter the IP Address of the target Master into the web browser’s Address field, but preface this
information with the word https (ex: https://198.198.99.99). This https is used to
communicate with the target Master via the pre-configured HTTPS/SSL Port.
3. Press the Enter key on your keyboard to begin the communication process between the target
Master and your computer.
If the installer has the Duet module on a PC, the file can be downloaded to the Master
via the Manage Device Modules section of the Manage Other Devices web page
(FIG. 78 on page 116).
