NetLinx Security and Web Server

NetLinx ME260 Masters (installed with firmware build 139 incorporate new built-in security and SSL certificate verification capabilities. By using both SSL certificate verification and secured HTTP access, this new NetLinx firmware provides users with a more convenient web-based method of securing both the Master and the incoming and outgoing information.

Terminal setup and security configuration is still valid and supported in the new build of NetLinx Master firmware. New Terminal security features include the use of two new commands: ssl security enable and ssl security disable.

SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is a protocol that works by encrypting data that is transferred over the SSL connection. URLs that require an SSL connection begin with https: instead of http: in the browser’s Address field. These security capabilities are configured to function via a web session within your browser.

After the installation of build 139 to your Master, Telnet security configuration access is disabled. This new build migrates the NetLinx Master security setup from a TELNET environment to a web-based application.

The new NetLinx Web Server used to power the Master security and SSL certificate features on AMX Masters, not only provides user name/password security for the target Master, but also a new level of secure encryption through the use of a unique server certificate.

The first layer of security for the Master is an on-screen HTTP user name and password field that prompts a user to provide correct security information before gaining access to a target Master. The second layer of protection is an SSL Certificate (specifically identifying the target Master) that can either be requested or self-generated. This certificate is then installed onto the target Master and added to the trusted site certificate listing within the computer’s Internet browser.

When using Safari on a MAC machine, certificates must be externally requested from the Server Certificate’s page. Self-generated certificates do not allow access back to the target Master and will display an invalid certificate message.
