PortVision DX User Guide

Security Considerations

The following list provides basic PortVision DX operations that are affected how the DeviceMaster
interacts with PortVision DX when security is enabled using the web interface (SocketServer/NS-
Link).

PortVision DX must scan the DeviceMaster before configuring security.

PortVision DX locates the DeviceMaster before setting either Secure Data Mode or Secure
Config Mode
.

If PortVision DX discovers the DeviceMaster after setting security, the following conditions
occur:

The IP address of the DeviceMaster does not display.

The Software Settings and Web Interface tabs are not present in the Properties page.

The IP mode displays as DHCP without the ability to modify.

• The Upload and Reboot icons are grayed out and the options are disabled in the

popup menus.

Note: If the DeviceMaster was previously configured with security, PortVision DX features

are reduced.

Accessing the Software Settings Tab

You can access the Software Settings tab on the Properties screen using one of these
methods:

Double-click the DeviceMaster in the Device Tree or Device List.

Right-click the DeviceMaster in the Device Tree or Device List and click Properties.

Highlight the DeviceMaster in the Device Tree or Device List, click the Properties button.

Highlight the DeviceMaster in the Device Tree or Device List, click the Manage menu,
and then Properties.
