NetLinx Security - Web Server
 The NetLinx user account was created to be compatible with previous NetLinx Master
firmware versions. This account is initially created by default and can later be deleted or
modified.
 The administrator group account cannot be deleted or modified.
Master Firmware Security Access Parameters
 Master Security Configuration
 Terminal (RS232 Program port) security
 HTTP (Web Server) Security (allows for access via a secure HTTP connection (if
enabled) by requiring a username and password)
 Telnet Security
 Configuration (allows the alteration of current communication, system, and security
settings by requiring a username and password)
 ICSP Connectivity (for AMX product communication)
 Encryption Requirement (only used if ICSP Connectivity is enabled - encrypts the data
being transferred among the different AMX products)
Web Control
This section of the Navigation frame contains the Mange Connections feature which allows control
of compatible devices communicating with the target Master.
Managing WebControl Connections
This page (FIG. 47) is accessed by clicking on the Manage connections link. Once activated, this
page displays links to G4 panels running the latest G4 Web Control feature.
If the Master Security and HTTP Access options have not been previously enabled on the target
Master, a user does not need to Log into the Master to gain access to the Manage WebControl
Connections page. This page allows a user to view all G4 enabled touch panels running G4
WebControl.
 To establish a secure connection between the touch panel and the target Master, the panel
must be using a valid username and password (that can be matched to a previously
configured user on the target Master) and the ICSP Connectivity option must be enabled
within the System Level page.
 If at some later point, that user profile is removed from the Master, reboot both the panel
and Master. After reboot, the connection status of the panel (from with the firmware
Setup page) shows "No Encryption".
Installation of SSL functionality onto your Master causes security setup via
Telnet to be disabled. Although Telnet security configuration access can no longer
be used on the Master, a Terminal connection (using HyperTerminal) can still be
established using the Master’s RS232 Program port.
