Security - General

The General Security Settings page provides global permissions for various options that may be individually selected and applied to
all users. The Master provides 3 levels of security settings presets: Low, Medium, and High. The levels are simply presets of various
security settings. When a preset is selected, the settings are not applied until you click Accept. You can customize any settings as
needed on the security preset before accepting and applying the settings. The default for the settings will match the Low presets.

Description
The Master provides three levels of security setting presets: Low, Medium, and High. Each level is a preset of
various security settings (see the Security Presets section on page 45 for more information.) When a preset is
selected, that setting is applied after clicking Accept.
NOTE: If a security preset is not selected, all subordinate options are grayed-out and not selectable, meaning
that the Master is completely unsecured and can be altered by any user (regardless of their rights).
Select to enable/disable remote syslog. See the Audit Logs section on page 46 for more information.
Select to turn on or turn off banner messages. Banners enable you to display pre- and post-login text in the
WebConsole. See the Banners section on page 46 for more information.
Select to enable all Type-A USB connectors on the Master.
Select to enable the Master to log out a user after a defined period of inactivity. After enabling the inactivity
timeout option, use the spin box to set the number of minutes before the timeout activates. You can set a timeout
in the range of 1 to 60 minutes. The default setting is 10 minutes. The timeout applies to Program Port, Telnet,
SSH, HTTP, and HTTPS sessions.
