(4 - 20 alpha-numeric characters).

ICSP Access

 

• This selection grants the members of this Group ICSP access.

 

• ICSP communication allows a user to connect to the target

 

NetLinx Master via ICSP connection using any transport

 

method (TCP/IP, UDP/IP, and RS-232/USB).

• This checkbox is greyed-out until ICSP Access is enabled.

 

 

Group/Directory Associations:

• Provides an authorized user with a view of current directories

 

on the target Master that are available to the selected group.

 

• A Directory Association defines the directory paths and files a

 

particular user or group can access via the Web Server on the

 

NetLinx Master.

 

• The displayed folders are the directory pathnames present on

 

the target Master. These folder/files can be placed on the

 

target Master via an FTP connection to the target Master.

 

 

A User represents a single potential client of the NetLinx Master, while a Group represents a logical collection of users. Any properties possessed by groups (example: access rights, directory associations, etc.) are inherited by all the members of the group.
