Directory Associations
A Directory Association is a path that defines the directories or files a particular user or group can access via the Web Server on the NetLinx Master. This character string can range from 1 to 128
Accessing the NetLinx Master via an IP Address
Refer to the Installing New NetLinx Master Firmware via an IP section on page 29 for more detailed information on how to download the latest firmware (build 139) from www.amx.com. This firmware build enables SSL security and disables the ability to alter the Master security properties via a TELNET session.
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.
Once the Master’s IP Address has been set through NetLinx Studio (version 2.1 or higher):
1.Launch your web browser.
2.Enter the IP Address of the target Master (ex: 198.198.99.99) into the web browser’s Address field.
3.Press the Enter key on your keyboard to begin the communication process between the target Master and your PC.
4.Click OK to accept the AMX SSL certificate (if SSL is enabled).
5.The first tab displayed within your open browser window is WebControl.
WebControl Tab
This tab (FIG. 25) displays links to both G3 web panel pages downloaded to the target Master and G4 panels running the latest G4 Web Control feature. G3 can’t be controlled with firmware
greater than 139. The ME260 cannot use firmware greater then 139.
