WebConsole UI Overview

NetLinx Masters have a built-in WebConsole that allows you to make various configuration settings via
a web browser on any PC that has access to the Master. The webconsole consists of a series of web pages
that are collectively called the "Master Configuration Manager" (FIG.11).
The webconsole is divided into three primary sections, indicated by three control buttons across the top
of the main page (FIG.12):
WebControl: This is the option that is pre-selected when the WebConsole is accessed. Use the
options in the Manage WebControl Connections page to manage G4WebControl connections
(see the WebConsole - WebControl Optionssection on page 25).
Security: Click to access the System Security page. The options in this page allow you to
configure various aspects of NetLinx System and Security on the Master (see the WebConsole
- Security Optionssection on page 27).
System: Click to access the System Details page. The options on this page allow you to view
and configure various aspects of the NetLinx System (see the WebConsole - System
Optionssection on page 41).
