This section of the Navigation frame contains the Mange Connections feature which allows control of
compatible devices communicating with the target Master.

Managing WebControl Connections

This page (FIG.32) is accessed by clicking on the Manage connections link. Once activated, this page
displays links to G4 panels running the latest G4 Web Control feature.
If the Master Security and HTTP Access options have not been previously enabled on the target
Master, a user does not need to Log into the Master to gain access to the Manage WebControl
Connections page. This page allows a user to view all G4 enabled touch panels running G4 WebControl.
To establish a secure connection between the touch panel and the target Master, the panel must
be using a valid username and password (that can be matched to a previously configured user
on the target Master) and the ICSP Connectivity option must be enabled within the System
Level page.
If at some later point, that user profile is removed from the Master, reboot both the panel and
Master. After reboot, the connection status of the panel (from with the firmware Setup page)
shows "No Encryption".
Clicking on a G4 WebControl link opens a separate browser window which is configured to display the
current information from the panel using the native resolution of the target panel. An example is a CA15
panel link opening a new window using an 800 x 600 resolution.
