Using your NetLinx Master to control the G4 panel
Refer to the specific panel instruction manual for detailed information on configuring and enabling
WebControl. This firmware build enables SSL certificate identification and encryption, HTTPS
communication, ICSP data encryption, and disables the ability to alter the Master security properties via a
TELNET session.
Once the Master’s IP Address has been set through NetLinx Studio version 2.4 or higher:
1.
Launch the web browser.
2.
Enter the IP Address of the target Master (ex: http://198.198.99.99) into the web browser’s Address field.
3.
Press the Enter key on the keyboard to begin the communication process between the target 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.
4.
Click OK to enter the information and proceed to the Master’s Manage WebControl Connections
window.
5.
Enter a valid username and password into the fields within the Login dialog.
6.
Click OK to enter the information and proceed to the Master’s Manage WebControl Connections
window.
