FIG. 36 System Level Security - Enable/Disable System Security page with selections

Enabling the Terminal, HTTP, and Telnet Access options require that a valid username and

password be entered prior to gaining access to the desired action. If the HTTP Access option is enabled, upon the initial connection to the Master (via the web browser) the Login page appears and requires a valid username and password be entered before allowing access to the web server pages.

Enabling the Configuration option requires that the user be logged in and their rights validated before allowing any modification to the current Master security configuration and communication parameters. If the Configuration option is enabled and the user wants to modify the Master’s IP Address; they would either be prompted to log in (via the Login button) or if already logged in, notified whether their rights are sufficient to allow them to change the current parameter.

The ICSP Connectivity option is required to allow authenticated and/or secure communication between the Master and other AMX hardware/software. To establish an authenticated ICSP connection (where the external AMX hardware/software would have to provide a valid username and password). This option must be enabled (checked).

5.Click on the checkbox next to Require Encryption to enable the requirement of data encryption over the ICSP connection. Note that this is optional and if enabled, requires more processor cycles to maintain.

6.Click the Update button to accept and save any changes on this page back to the Master. Updating these changes is instantaneous and does not require a reboot. Successful incorporation of the changes to the Master’s security configurations results in an on-screen message stating: "Security is enabled when it is checked".

A Group represents a logical collection of individual users. Any properties possessed by a group (ex: access rights, directory associations, etc.) are inherited by all members of that group.
