New Master Firmware Security Features

Master Security

Telnet Security

Terminal (RS232 Program port) security

HTTP (Web Server) Security

FTP Security

SSL Certificate Encryption and Identification Technology

Installation of this new SSL functionality onto your Master will cause security

setup via Telnet to be disabled. Although Telnet security configuration access can no longer be used with the Master, a Terminal connection (using HyperTerminal) can still be established using the Master’s RS232 Program port. Refer to the NetLinx Security with a Terminal Connection section on page 73 for detailed Terminal security setup procedures.

The migration from a Telnet session to the use of an HTTP web browser allows a user to fully utilize the latest SSL encryption features available within the newest release of NetLinx Master firmware.

NetLinx Security Terms

The following table lists those commonly used NetLinx Security terms:

NetLinx Security Terms

User

A user is a single potential client of the NetLinx Master.

 

 

Administrator

An administrator has privileges to modify existing NetLinx Master access

 

groups, users, and their rights. The administrator can also assign NetLinx

 

communication access rights for different users or groups (ex: Telnet and

 

HTTP access) and configure the SSL server certificate.

 

 

Group

A group is a logical collection of users. Note that any properties possessed by

 

groups (ex: access rights, directory associations, etc.) are inherited by all of the

 

members of the group.

 

 

User name

A user name is a valid character string (4 - 20 alpha-numeric characters)

 

defining the user. This string is case sensitive. Each user name must be

 

unique.

 

 

Group name

A group name is a valid character string (4 - 20 alpha-numeric characters)

 

defining the group. This string is case sensitive. Each group name must be

 

unique.

 

 

Password

A password is a valid character string (4 - 20 alpha-numeric characters) to

 

supplement the user name in defining the potential client. This string is also

 

case sensitive.

 

 

Access Rights

Each of the NetLinx Master features has security procedures defined for them.

 

The access right for a particular feature determines if the user or group will

 

have access to the feature.
