Refer to your particular NetLinx Master's instruction manual for detailed information on how to
download the latest firmware from www.amx.com. This firmware build enables SSL certificate
identification and encryption, HTTPS communication, ICSP data encryption, and disables the ability to
alter the Master security properties via a TELNET session.
In order to fully utilize the SSL encryption, your web browser should incorporate the an encryption
feature. This encryption level is displayed as a Cipher strength.
Once the Master's IP Address has been set through NetLinx Studio version 2.x or higher:
1. Launch your web browser.
2. Enter the IP Address of the target Master (ex: http://198.198.99.99) into the web browser's Address
field.
3. Press the Enter key on your keyboard to begin the communication process between the target
Master and your computer.
4. Click OK to enter the information and proceed to the Master's Manage WebControls window.
5. This Manage WebControl Connections page (FIG. 69) is accessed by clicking on the Manage
connections link (within the Web Control section within the Navigation frame). Once activated, this
page displays links to G4 panels running the latest G4 Web Control feature (previously setup and
