NetLinx Security within the Web Server

Master Firmware Security Access Parameters

Master Security Configuration

Terminal (RS232/USB Configuration port) security

HTTP (Web Server) Security (allows for access via a secure HTTP connection (if enabled) by requiring a username and password)

Telnet Security

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)

Installation of SSL functionality onto your Master causes security setup via Telnet to be disabled. Although Telnet security configuration access can no longer be used on the Master, a Terminal connection (using HyperTerminal) can still be established using the Master’s RS232 Program port.

Web Control

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. 34) 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.

Options

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".
