Feature	Description
Master Security:	This option allows an authorized user to require that a valid
	username and password be required for access to a feature
	listed on this page.
	• These are global options that enable or disable the login
	requirement for both users and groups.
	• If the Master Security checkbox is not enabled, all subordinate
	options are greyed-out and not selectable, meaning that the
	Master is completely unsecured and can be altered by any user
	(regardless of their rights).
Terminal (RS232/USB) Access:	This selection determines if a username and password is
	required for Terminal communication (through the USB
	connector).
	• If Terminal Security is enabled, a user must have sufficient
	access rights to login to a Terminal session and communicate
	with the Master.
HTTP Access:	This selection determines if a username and password is
	required for communication over HTTP or HTTPS Ports (see
	FIG. 35).
	• If enabled, a user must have sufficient access rights to browse
	to the NetLinx Master via a Web Browser.
	• Enabling this field requires the user (within a new session)
	submit a valid username and password before being able
	to view the web server pages.
	• If disabled, the Master is open for viewing and does not ask
	for this information during any consecutive sessions (until
	the user attempts to access a feature which is enabled
	within this page).
	• This requirement of a valid username and password affects
	both HTTP and HTTPS communication with the target
	Master using the web server.
