NetLinx Integrated Controllers

NetLinx Security and Web Server

NetLinx Masters (installed with firmware build 130 or higher) incorporate new built-in security

and SSL certificate verification capabilities. By using both SSL certificate verification and secured

HTTP access, this new NetLinx firmware provides users with a more convenient web-based

method of securing both the Master and the incoming and outgoing information.

Terminal setup and security configuration is still valid and supported in the new build of NetLinx

Master firmware. New Terminal security features include the use of two new commands:

ssl

security enable and ssl security disable.

SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is a protocol that works by encrypting data that is transferred over the

SSL connection. URLs that require an SSL connection begin with https: instead of http: in the

browser’s Address field. These security capabilities are configured to function via a web session

within your browser.

The new NetLinx Web Server used to power the security and SSL certificate features on AMX

Masters not only provides user name/password security for the target Master, but also a new level of

secure encryption through the use of a unique server certificate.

The first layer of security for the Master is an on-screen HTTP user name and password field that

prompts a user to provide correct security information before gaining access to a target Master. The

second layer of protection is an SSL Certificate (specifically identifying the target Master) that can

either be requested or self-generated. This certificate is then installed onto the target Master and

added to the trusted site certificate listing within the computer’s Internet browser.

NetLinx Security web browser and feature support

The following table describes the web browsers (associated to each operating system)

recommended for use with the new NetLinx Security features on the NI Controllers.

After the installation of build 130 or higher to your Master, Telnet security configuration access is

disabled. This new build migrates the NetLinx Master security setup from a TELNET environment

to a web-based application.
