New Master Firmware Security Features
Master Security
Telnet Security
Terminal (RS232 Program port) security
HTTP (Web Server) Security
FTP Security
SSL Certificate Encryption and Identification Technology
Installation of this new SSL functionality onto your Master will cause security
setup via Telnet to be disabled. Although Telnet security configuration access can no longer be used with the Master, a Terminal connection (using HyperTerminal) can still be established using the Master’s RS232 Program port. Refer to the NetLinx Security with a Terminal Connection section on page 73 for detailed Terminal security setup procedures.
The migration from a Telnet session to the use of an HTTP web browser allows a user to fully utilize the latest SSL encryption features available within the newest release of NetLinx Master firmware.
