Security - General
The General Security Settings page provides global permissions for various options that may be individually selected and applied to
all users. The Master provides 3 levels of security settings presets: Low, Medium, and High. The levels are simply presets of various
security settings. When a preset is selected, the settings are not applied until you click
Accept
. You can customize any settings as
needed on the security preset before accepting and applying the settings. The default for the settings will match the Low presets.

options.

Security Presets
The Master provides three levels of security setting presets: Low, Medium, and High. Each level is a preset of
various security settings (see the
section on page 45 for more information.) When a preset is
selected, that setting is applied after clicking Accept.
NOTE:
If a security preset is not selected, all subordinate options are grayed-out and not selectable, meaning
that the Master is completely unsecured and can be altered by any user (regardless of their rights).
Audit Log
Select to enable/disable remote syslog. See the
section on page 46 for more information.
Banner Display
Select to turn on or turn off banner messages. Banners enable you to display pre- and post-login text in the
WebConsole. See the
section on page 46 for more information.
USB Host Port
Select to enable all Type-A USB connectors on the Master.
Inactivity Timeout
Select to enable the Master to log out a user after a defined period of inactivity. After enabling the inactivity
timeout option, use the spin box to set the number of minutes before the timeout activates. You can set a timeout
in the range of 1 to 60 minutes. The default setting is 10 minutes. The timeout applies to Program Port, Telnet,
SSH, HTTP, and HTTPS sessions.
