NetLinx Master Security
NetLinx Studio supports security for NetLinx Masters, via the
Authentication Required
option in the
Communication
Settings
dialog.
Before you can enable/disable security on a Master through NetLinx Studio, you must verify the following:
The target Master has been loaded with firmware that supports security. This means that the Master must have
Master Firmware version
304 (or higher)
to support this functionality. If your master does not have firmware
loaded that supports security, the Master will not be secured (although it might appear to be in NetLinx
Studio).
Security has been enabled on the target Master (via options in the Security tab of the Master's built-in
interface). Refer to the Master's documentation for details on enabling/disabling security.
With security enabled, users will be required to provide the correct User Name and Password in order to
establish communication with the Master.
The User Name and Password are case-sensitive.
If the correct User Name and Password are not entered, NetLinx Studio will display an "Authentication
Failure" message, and the connection to the Master will be denied.
You can apply a default User Name and Password to the
No active System - Default Settings
option, so that
as you create new NetLinx systems they will always require that User Name/Password combination.
Connecting to a Secured NetLinx Master
When connecting to a NetLinx Master that has security enabled, you will be required to enter a User Name and Password
before you can connect.
To establish a connection to a secured master,
1.
Select
Settings > Communication Settings
to open the
Communication Settings
dialog and select
NetLinx
as the
platform, and select a
Transport Connection
type.
2.
Click
Edit Settings
to configure the selected transport type.
3.
Click
OK
to save the
TCP/IP,
or
Serial
settings (depending on the transport type selected).
4.
Click the
Authentication Required
check box. This enables the
User Name and Password
button.
5.
Click on
User Name and Password
to enter the User Name and Password that are set for this NetLinx Master (in
the
Master Controller User Name and Password
dialog). These are case sensitive.
6.
Click
OK
to close the
Master Controller User Name and Password
dialog.
7.
Click
OK
to close the
Communication Settings
dialog.
8.
Click
OK
to close the
Master Communication Settings
dialog.
At this point you should be able to connect to the Master.
If You Don't Connect
Verify that the master is set for ICSP Connectivity, with Require Encryption enabled (via the Master's built-in
interface).
Refer to the Master's documentation for details on enabling/disabling security.
This security option is not available for Axcess masters, or for NetLinx Virtual Master
connections.
