The following table lists the WebControl tab features that an administrator or other authorized user
can select from:
Default Security Configuration
By default, the NetLinx Master will create the following accounts, access rights, directory
associations, and security options:
Security Options: FTP Security - Enabled
Admin Change Password Security - Enabled
All other options - Disabled
The administrator user account cannot be deleted or modified with the exception of its
password. Only a user with "Change Admin Password Access" rights can change the
administrator password.
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.
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.
