D20MX INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Secure Connection for LogicLinx
This appendix provides the procedure to set up a secure connection to the D20MX for use
with the LogicLinx editor in either ConfigPro or SGConfig.
It is recommended that you use this procedure since it allows for strong security using the
authentication, authorization and accounting model supported by other access points of
the D20MX.
To set up a secure connection to the D20MX for use with the LogicLinx editor using
SGConfig v8.1 or higher:
1. Configure B014-1N Wesmaint II+ to grant the necessary privileges to allow the user to
make connections to the LogicLinx application on the D20MX.
See "Wesmaint user configuration" on page 150.
2. Configure B082-0N LogicLinx to require a secure connection.
See "LogicLinx (B082-0N) configuration" on page 151.
3. Establish the secure tunnel using the LogicLinx Editor > LogicLinx Editor (Debug)
command in SGConfig. Refer to the SGConfig online help for details on the LogicLinx
Editor.
When using ConfigPro, the Windows* application 'PuTTY' (also known as "putty") is used to
establish an SSH tunnel from the LogicLinx editor running on the Windows PC to the
LogicLinx application (B082) running on the D20MX. The establishment of an SSH Tunnel is
also known as 'port forwarding'. At the time this procedure was published, the PuTTY
Windows installer could be downloaded from:
