Setup Security Menu
Command Description
1) Set system security 
options for NetLinx Master
See the Security Options Menu section
on page 113 for descriptions of each
menu item.
This selection will bring up the Security Options Menu that allows you to
change the security options for the NetLinx Master. These are "global" options
that enable rights given to users and groups.
For instance, if you want to disable Telnet security for all users, you would
simply go to this menu and disable Telnet security for the entire Master. This
would allow any user, whether they have the rights to Telnet or not.
These options can be thought of as options to turn on security for different
features of the NetLinx Master.

This selection will display the current security options for the NetLinx Master.

After the User is added, you will be taken to the Edit User menu to setup the
new User’s right (see page 114).
