Setup Security Menu
Command Description
1) Set system security
options for NetLinx Master
See the Security Options Menu section
on page 116 for descriptions of each
menu item.
This selection will bring up the Security Options Menu that allows
you to change the security options for the NetLinx Master.
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. This would allow any user, whether they have the
rights to Telnet or not. These options can be thought of as options to
turn on security for different features of the NetLinx Master.
