Description
This selection will bring up the Security Options Menu
that allows you to change the security options for the
NetLinx Master (refer to the Security Options
Menu section on page 96 for details). These are "global"
options that enable rights given to users and groups.
For instance, if you want to disable Telnet security for all
users, you would simply go to this menu and disable
Telnet security for the entire Master. These options can
be thought of as options to turn on security for different
features of the NetLinx Master.
This selection will display the current security options for
the NetLinx Master.
This selection will prompt you for a user name and
password for a user you would like to create. After the
user is added, you will be taken to the Edit User Menu to
setup the new user's rights (see the Edit User
Menu section on page 98 for details).
This selection will prompt you to select a user. Once you
have selected the user you want to edit, it will take you to
the Edit User Menu so you can edit the user's rights (see
the Edit User Menu section on page 98 for details).
This selection will prompt you to select a user to delete.
This selection displays a list of users.
This selection will prompt you for a group name for a
group you would like to create. After the group is added,
you will be taken to the Edit Group Menu to setup the new
users right (see the Edit Group Menu section on
page 100 for details).
This selection will prompt you select a group. Once you
have selected the group you want to edit, it will take you to
the Edit Group Menu so you can edit the group's rights
(see the Edit Group Menu section on page 100 for
details).
This selection will prompt you to select a group to delete.
A group can only be deleted if there are no users
assigned to that group.
This selection displays a list of groups.
This selection allows you to set the time a Telnet session
waits for a user to login. When a Telnet client connects to
the NetLinx Master, it is prompted for a user name. If the
client does not enter a users name for the length of time
set in this selection, the session will be closed by the
NetLinx Master.
This selection allows you to display the time a Telnet
session waits for a user to login.
