NetLinx Security and Web Server

G3 panel pages accessed through the WebControl tab are virtual pages created by a user in TPDesign3 and then downloaded to the target Master. Interaction with these pages are not reflected on an actual G3 panel unless you use specific programming commands that link these virtual pages with their real G3 panel counterparts.

The following table lists the WebControl tab features that an administrator or other authorized user

can select from:

WebControl Tab Features

Feature	Description
Compatible Devices Field	This area displays:
	• Links to G3 user designed web panels (containing an index.htm
	page) that are installed on the NetLinx Master.
	• G4 icons (with associated links) if a G4 panel running Web
	Control is communicating with the target Master.
Communication Compression Options	Allows you to choose from among two compression options:
	• These compression settings are most useful when working
	over a bandwidth-restricted network or over the Internet.
	• Use Compression allows the user to specify that the
	transmitted data packets be compressed. This speeds up the
	visual responses from the panel by minimizing the size of the
	information relayed through the web and onto the PC screen.
	• Use Low Color allows the user to specify the number of colors
	used to display the image from the panel be reduced. By
	reducing the numbers of colors used to display the panel page
	on the PC, the size of the information is reduced, and the
	response delay is decreased.
