On-Board WebConsole User Interface
WebConsole UI Overview
NetLinx Masters have a built-in System Configuration interface that allows you to make various configuration settings via a web
browser on any PC that has access to the Master. The System Configuration interface (an on-board web configuration) contains a
comprehensive set of web pages that can be used during setup to manage your system’s network, security, and system needs, as
well as configure its inputs and outputs while executing switches (FIG. 28).
The WebConsole offers five primary sections from a menu located at the top of the page, indicated by five menu options across the
top of the main page (FIG. 29):

Home : This option appears when you access the System Configuration page. Use these options to view any connected
device or access a module.

Network : Click to access the Network Settings for the Master. The options on these pages enable you to view and modify
the IPv4 and IPv6 network settings and the clock settings for the system (see the WebConsole - Network Options section
on page 36).

Security : Click to access the System Security page. The options in this page allow you to configure various aspects of
NetLinx System and Security on the Master, including network configuration and creating users and roles (see the
WebConsole - Security Options section on page 41).

System : Click to access the System Details page. The options on this page allow you to view and configure various aspects
of the NetLinx System (see the WebConsole - System Options section on page 57).

Modules : Click to access several different device-related pages (see the WebConsole - Modules Options section on page 59).

Switcher : Click to access the Enova Switcher Configuration page (see the WebConsole - Switching Options section on
page 67). This page only appears for Enova devices.
From the Home page, Web Control options become available (e.g., RMS, Virtual Keypad, and device details pages for any connected
devices).
System Configuration Interface Tips:

It is recommended that you use the latest, industry accepted version of HTML5 browsers. If a browser is inconsistent,
upgrade or try a different browser. To-date, browsers tested include Google Chrome (preferred), Mozilla Firefox, Apple
Safari, and Microsoft Internet Explorer 10+/Edge.

To access the interface after initial setup, simply type the integrated Master’s IP address in the address bar of the browser
and press the Enter key. On the DVX, DGX, and NX-4200, the IP address is available on the front panel display.

Some devices run on a secured file-system. As such, file-system operations (e.g., Load and Save operations) may not be
supported by the device’s default capabilities and may require downloading a file manager application.

When selecting Inputs and Outputs for switches – you may select an input followed by multiple outputs, but only one input
is selectable if you select an output first.

Inputs and Outputs can only have one name each, regardless of whether the name is set via the Video tab or the Audio tab
in the Configuration page (or via NetLinx SEND_COMMANDs VIDIN_NAME, VIDOUT_NAME, AUDIN_NAME, AUDOUT_NAME).
Inputs and Outputs may be named independently.
