Master and your computer.
Initially, the Master Security option is disabled (from within the System Security page) and
no username and password is required for access or configuration.
Both HTTP and HTTPS Ports are enabled by default (via the Manage System > Server
page).
If the Master has been previously configured for secured communication, click OK to accept
the AMX SSL certificate (if SSL is enabled) and then enter a valid username and password
into the fields within the Login dialog.

window.
5. You can access the Manage WebControl Connections page (FIG. 28) by clicking on the Manage
connections link (within the Web Control section within the Navigation frame). Once activated, this
page displays links to G4 panels running the latest G4 Web Control feature (previously setup and
activated on the panel).
6. Click Yes from the Security Alert popup window to agree to the installation of the G4 WebControl
application on your computer. This application contains the necessary Active X and VNC client
