Accessing an Unsecured Master via an HTTP Address
Refer to theUpgrading the On-board Master Firmware via an IP section on page 35 for more detailed
information on how to download the latest firmware from www.amx.com. This firmware build enables
SSL certificate identification and encryption, HTTPS communication, ICSP data encryption, and
disables the ability to alter the Master security properties via a TELNET session.
Once the Master’s IP Address has been set through NetLinx Studio version 2.4 or higher:
1. Launch your web browser.
2. Enter the IP Address of the target Master (ex: http://198.198.99.99) into the web browser’s Address
field.
3. Press the Enter key on your keyboard to begin the communication process between the target
Master and your computer.
Initially, the Master Security option is disabled (from within the System Security page) and
no username and password is required for access or configuration.
Both HTTP and HTTPS Ports are enabled by default (via the Manage System > Server
page).
4. The first active page displayed within your open browser page is Manage WebControl
Connections.
Although Telnet security configuration access can no longer be used on a Master with this
firmware, a Terminal connection (using HyperTerminal) can still be established using the Master’s
USB low-speed connection (if the Telnet Port is enabled via the Manage System > Server page).
Once HTTP Access is enabled for a Master; certificate verification and username and
password verification must occur. Refer to theAccessing an SSL-Enabled Master via
an IP Address section on page 111 for more information.
