Security Considerations
The following list provides basic PortVision DX operations that are affected how the DeviceMaster
interacts with PortVision DX when security is enabled using the web interface (SocketServer/NS-
Link).
•
PortVision DX must scan the DeviceMaster before configuring security.
•
PortVision DX locates the DeviceMaster before setting either Secure Data Mode or Secure
Config Mode.
•
If PortVision DX discovers the DeviceMaster after setting security, the following conditions
occur:
•
The IP address of the DeviceMaster does not display.
•
The Software Settings and Web Interface tabs are not present in the Properties page.
•
The IP mode displays as DHCP without the ability to modify.
• The Upload and Reboot icons are grayed out and the options are disabled in the
popup menus.
Note: If the DeviceMaster was previously configured with security, PortVision DX features
are reduced.
