Master from within another session, the default administrator username and

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.
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.
The options on the NetLinx Master Security page (FIG. 34) 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:
NI-3101-SIG Signature Series NetLinx Integrated Controller
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.
