Feature	Description
Telnet Access:	This selection determines if a username and password is
	required for Telnet Access (see FIG. 37).
	• If Telnet access is enabled, a username and password is
	required before allowing communication over either the Telnet
	and/or SSH Ports. SSH version 2 is only supported.
	• This authorized user must have sufficient access rights to login
	through a Telnet session to the Master.
	• To establish a secure Telnet connection, an administrator can
	decide to disable the Telnet Port and then enable the SSH
	Port. Refer to theSetting the Master’s Port
	Configurations section on page 61.
Configuration (security):	This selection determines if a username and password is
	required before allowing a group/user to alter the current
	Master’s security configuration and communication settings (see
	FIG. 37).
	• Configuration access provides the user with the ability to
	perform configuration functions on the NetLinx system through
	NetLinx Studio. This includes such things as: IP
	configuration/Reset, URL list settings, Master
	communication settings, and security parameters.
	• If security Configuration is enabled, a user/group must have
	sufficient access rights to access the Main Security Menu.
	• Any time a configuration operation is performed, the Master
	verifies the current access rights for that feature and then
	requires a valid username and password
	(if not already logged in).
	- An example would be if you are trying to add a New User or
	modify the rights of an existing Group.
ICSP Connectivity:	This selection determines if a username and password is
	required prior to communication with a target NetLinx Master via
	an ICSP connection using any transport method (TCP/IP, UDP/
	IP, and RS-232) (see FIG. 37).
	• If this access is enabled and the user is not logged-in, when
	the user attempts to connect, the authentication fails and
	displays an “Access not allowed” message.
	• This feature allows communication amongst various AMX
	hardware and software components. This feature works in
	tandem with the Require Encryption option to require that any
	application or hardware communicating with the Master must
	provide a valid username and password.
	• Refer to theICSP Authentication section below for more
	detailed information.
Require Encryption:	Requires that any data being transmitted or received via an
	ICSP connection (among the various AMX products) be
	encrypted and that any application or hardware communicating
	with the Master over ICSP must provide a valid username and
	password.

The following graphic illustrates the Ports which can be enabled for the validation of rights by using a valid username and password. When one of the above options is enabled, the Master then requires the entry of a valid username and password to validate rights for that action and then grant or deny access.
