1) Set system security options for
NetLinx Master

that allows you to change the security options for the
NetLinx Master (refer to theSecurity Options
Menu section on page 102 for details). These are
"global" options that enable rights given to users and
groups. For instance, if you want to disable Telnet secu-
rity for all users, you would simply go to this menu and
