NetLinx Security within the Web Server

The administrator user account cannot be deleted or modified with the exception of its password. Only a user with both Configuration access and administrator rights can alter the administrator’s password.

The NetLinx user account was created to be compatible with previous NetLinx Master firmware versions. This account is initially created by default and can later be deleted or modified.

The administrator group account cannot be deleted or modified.

Configuration (allows the alteration of current communication, system, and security settings by requiring a username and password)

ICSP Connectivity (for AMX product communication)

Encryption Requirement (only used if ICSP Connectivity is enabled - encrypts the data being transferred among the different AMX products)
