NetLinx Security with a Terminal Connection

NetLinx Security with a Terminal Connection

NetLinx ME260 Masters (build 139) have built-in security capabilities. It will require a valid user name and password to access the NetLinx System’s Telnet, HTTP and FTP servers.

The security capabilities are configured and applied via a Telnet connection or the NetLinx Master’s RS-232 terminal interface (the RS232 Program port).

Always use the RS232 Program port when entering potentially sensitive security information. The Telnet server interface exposes this security information to the network in clear text format, which could be intercepted by an unauthorized network client. By using the RS232 Program port, there is security during the configuration of the database due to the physical proximity of the user to the system.

NetLinx Security Features

NetLinx security allows you to define access rights for users or groups.

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 (i.e., access rights, directory associations, etc.) are inherited by all the members of the group.

The following table lists the NetLinx features that the administrator (or other 'qualified' user) may

grant or deny access to.

NetLinx Security Features

NetLinx Master Security Configuration

The user has access to the security configuration commands of the

 

Master. Only those users with security configuration access rights

 

granted will have access to the security configuration

 

commands.

 

 

Telnet Security

The user has access to the Telnet server functionality. All basic

 

commands are available to the user.

 

 

Terminal (RS232 Program port)

The user has access to the Terminal (RS232 Program port) server

Security

functionality. All basic commands are available to the user.

 

 

HTTP (web server) Security

The user has access to the HTTP server functionality. Directory

 

associations assign specific directories/files to a particular user.

 

 

FTP Security

The user has access to the FTP server functionality. Only the

 

administrator account has access to the root directory; all other

 

'qualified' clients are restricted to the /user/ directory and its 'tree'.

 

 

Initial Setup via a Terminal Connection

Security administration and configuration is done via a Terminal communication through the RS232 Program port on the NetLinx Master.

Establishing a Terminal connection

1.Launch the HyperTerminal application from its’ default location (Start > Programs > Accessories > Communications).

2.Apply power to the NetLinx Master and allow it to boot up.

3.Connect the PC COM (RS232) port to the RS232 Program port on the NetLinx Master. Note the baud rate settings for the Master.
