NetLinx Integrated Controllers (Firmware v4)- WebConsole & Programming Guide
Description
This selection enables or disables the Administrator right to change Group and User passwords.
If selected, a valid username and password is required for Terminal communication via the Master's RS232 Program
port.
If selected, a valid username and password is required for communication over HTTP or HTTPS Ports, including
accessing the WebConsole.
If selected, a valid username and password is required for Telnet Access. Telnet access allows communication over
either the Telnet and/or SSH Ports, and Secure FTP access.
Note: SSH version 2 (only) is supported.
To establish a secure Telnet connection, an administrator can decide to disable the Telnet Port and then enable the
SSH Port. Refer to the Manage System - Server Options section on page 51.
If selected, a valid username and password is required before allowing a group/user to alter the current Master's
security and communication settings via NetLinx Studio.
This includes such things as: IP configuration/Reset, URL list settings, Master communication settings, and security
parameters.
If selected, a valid username and password is required to communicate with the NetLinx Master via an ICSP
connection (TCP/IP, UDP/IP, and RS-232).
• This feature allows communication amongst various AMX hardware and software components. This feature works
in tandem with the Require Encryption option (see below) to require that any application or hardware
communicating with the Master must provide a valid username and password.
• In a Master-to-Master system, the Master which accepts the IP connection initiates the authentication process.
This configuration provides compatibility with existing implementations and provides more flexibility for the
implementation of other devices.
Note: The ICSP Connectivity option is required to allow authenticated and/or secure communication between the
Master and other AMX hardware/software. To establish an authenticated ICSP connection (where the external AMX
hardware/software has to provide a valid username and password), this option must be enabled.
If selected, this option requires that any data being transmitted or received via an ICSP connection (among the
various AMX products) be encrypted, and that any application or hardware communicating with the Master over
ICSP must provide a valid username and password.
Note: When enabled, this option requires more processor cycles to maintain.
