Security - System Level Security page
To access this page, click the Security Level link from within the Security section of the Navigation frame.
This page is strictly used to guarantee that a valid username and password is entered prior to gaining access to
the listed features and options.
The options on the NetLinx Master Security page (FIG. 36) are only accessible and configurable if the Master
Security
checkbox is selected. The Master Security checkbox selection toggles the appearance of the
NetLinx Master security options and makes them accessible. Enabling an option on this page requires that a
user enter a valid username and password before they are granted access to the specific feature. Some
examples are:
 Requiring verification before accessing the Master - HTTP Access must be enabled.
 Requiring verification before altering a current Master security setting - Master Security and
Configuration
must be enabled.
 Requiring verification from a communicating AMX software (such as NetLinx Studio
v 2.4 or TPD4 v 2.5) before accepting communication for file/firmware transfers, the
Configuration
, ICSP Connectivity and Require Encryption options must be enabled.
Security Features
Feature Description
System Level: Provides an authorized user with the ability to alter the current
security options of the system assigned to the target Master.
Group Level: Provides an authorized user with the ability to assign and alter
group properties such as creating, modifying, or deleting a
group’s rights, and also allows for the definition of the files/
directories accessible by a particular group.
• Any properties possessed by a group (access rights/directory
associations, etc.) are inherited by all members of that group.
User Level: Provides an authorized user with the ability to assign and alter
user properties such as creating, modifying, or deleting a users’
communication rights, and defining the files/directories
accessible by a particular user.
Enabling the Master Security option after the groups, users, and passwords have
been set up is highly recommended. If not, when the user accesses the Master from
within another session, the default administrator username and password must be
used for access.
If the Master Security option is not selected, the Master is completely open and can
be modified by anyone accessing the target Master via the web server’s UI.
