NetLinx Security - Web Server

Security - System Level Security page

To access this page, click the Security Level link from within the Security section of the

Navigation frame. This page is strictly used to require a valid username and password be entered

prior to gaining access to the listed features and options.

The options on the NetLinx Master Security page (FIG. 49) are only accessible and configurable if

the Master Security checkbox is selected. The Master Security checkbox selection toggles the

appearance of the NetLinx Master security options and makes them accessible. Enabling an option

on this page requires that a user enter a valid username and password before they are granted access

to the specific feature. Some examples are:

 Requiring verification before accessing the Master - HTTP Access must be enabled.

 Requiring verification before altering a current Master security setting - Master Security

and Configuration must be enabled.

 Requiring verification from a communicating AMX software (such as NetLinx Studio

v 2.4 or TPD4 v 2.5) before accepting communication for file/firmware transfers, the

Configuration, ICSP Connectivity and Require Encryption options must be enabled.

If the Master Security option is not selected, the Master is completely open and

can be modified by anyone accessing the target Master via the web server’s UI.

Feature Description

Master Security: This option allows an authorized user to require that a valid

username and password be required for access to a feature listed

on this page.

• These are global options that enable or disable the login

requirement for both users and groups.

• If the Master Security checkbox is not enabled, all subordinate

options are greyed-out and not selectable, meaning that the

Master is completely unsecured and can be altered by any user

(regardless of their rights).
