Secure NetLinx Connections

If the target NetLinx Master has authentication enabled, you will prompted to enter a User Name
and Password in order to establish a connection. You can save the User Name/Password
combination as part of a communication configuration for secured NetLinx Masters, via options in
the Connection Settings dialog.
Refer to the NetLinx Studio (v2.3 or higher) online help for details on enabling
authentication on NetLinx Masters.
To access the Connection Settings dialog, select Transfer > Connect (or click the toolbar button)
to open the Connect dialog, and select New to create a new communication configuration, or select
an existing configuration from the drop-down list and click Properties to edit those saved settings.
Click the Connection requires authentication checkbox to enable the User and Password text
fields. Enter the User Name/Password combination to save them as part of this configuration. Once
they are entered here, you will be able to establish this connection (by selecting it by name in the
Connect dialog) without having to type the authentication information each time you connect.
The status bar will reflect the status of the connection as follows:

Transferring Touch Panel Files to/from a NetLinx Master

Use the File > Send To Panel option to connect to a Master and download a panel file to a
compatible G4 touch panel on that Master's bus.
Use the File > Receive From Panel option to connect to a Master and upload a panel file from a
compatible G4 touch panel on that Master's bus. There are three ways to connect and transfer Panel
files: TCP/IP, Serial and Modem.
To transfer to a G4 panel, verify that the NetLinx Master Firmware is build 85 or later.
Verify the TPDesign4 program being used is Version 1.01 or higher. Earlier versions
of the firmware and TPD4 software are incompatible with G4 panels.
