NetLinx Security within the Web Server

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.

The following table lists the features available to an administrator or other authorized user from the Manage WebControl Connections page:

Feature

Description

 

 

Compatible Devices Field:

This area displays G4 icons (with associated links) if a G4 panel

 

running Web Control is communicating with the target Master.

 

 

Communication Compression Options:

Allows you to choose from among two compression options:

 

• These compression settings are most useful when working

 

either over a bandwidth-restricted LAN or over the Internet.

 

Use Compression allows the user to specify that the

 

transmitted data packets be compressed. This speeds up the

 

visual responses from the panel by minimizing the size of the

 

information relayed through the web and onto the screen.

 

Use Low Color allows the user to specify the number of colors

 

used to display the image from the panel be reduced. By

 

reducing the numbers of colors, both the size of the

 

information is reduced and the response delay is decreased.
