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. 37).

 

• 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.
