Click on the desired access parameters and configuration checkboxes necessary to require user
validation prior to usage.
Enabling the Terminal, HTTP, and Telnet Access options require that a valid username and
password be entered prior to gaining access to the desired action.
If the HTTP Access option
is enabled, upon the initial connection to the Master (via the web browser) the Login
page appears and requires a valid username and password be entered before allowing
access to the web server pages.
Enabling the Configuration option requires that the user be logged in and their rights validated
before allowing any modification to the current Master security configuration and
communication parameters.
If the Configuration option is enabled and the user wants to
modify the Master’s IP Address; they would either be prompted to log in (via the Login
button) or if already logged in, notified whether their rights are sufficient to allow them
to change the current parameter.
The
ICSP Connectivity
option is required to allow authenticated and/or secure
communication between the Master and other AMX hardware/software. To establish an
authenticated ICSP connection (where the external AMX hardware/software would have to
provide a valid username and password). This option
must be enabled
(checked).
