NetLinx Security with a Terminal Connection

Changes made to the target Master from within the Terminal window are not reflected within the web browser, until the Master is rebooted and the web browser connection is refreshed.

Any changes made to the Master, from within the web browser are instantly reflected within the Terminal session without the need to reboot.
