1) Set system security options for
NetLinx Master
This selection will bring up the Security Options Menu
that allows you to change the security options for the

Menu section on page 96 for details). These are "global"
options that enable rights given to users and groups.
For instance, if you want to disable Telnet security for all
users, you would simply go to this menu and disable
Telnet security for the entire Master. These options can
be thought of as options to turn on security for different
features of the NetLinx Master.

user is added, you will be taken to the Edit User Menu to
setup the new user’s rights (see the Edit User
Menu section on page 98 for details).
