ESD WARNING

To avoid ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) damage to sensitive components, make sure you are properly grounded before touching any internal materials.

When working with any equipment manufactured with electronic devices, proper ESD grounding procedures must be followed to make sure people, products, and tools are as free of static charges as possible. Grounding straps, conductive smocks, and conductive work mats are specifically designed for this purpose. These items should not be manufactured locally, since they are generally composed of highly resistive conductive materials to safely drain static discharges, without increasing an electrocution risk in the event of an accident.

Anyone performing field maintenance on AMX equipment should use an appropriate ESD field service kit complete with at least a dissipative work mat with a ground cord and a UL listed adjustable wrist strap with another ground cord.

WARNING: Do Not Open! Risk of Electrical Shock. Voltages in this equipment are hazardous to life. No user-serviceable parts inside. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

Place the equipment near a main power supply outlet and make sure that you can easily access the power breaker switch.

WARNING: This product is intended to be operated ONLY from the voltages listed on the back panel or the recommended, or included, power supply of the product. Operation from other voltages other than those indicated may cause irreversible damage to the product and void the products warranty. The use of AC Plug Adapters is cautioned because it can allow the product to be plugged into voltages in which the product was not designed to operate. If the product is equipped with a detachable power cord, use only the type provided, or specified, by the manufacturer or your local distributor.

Includes an integrated digital signal processor with advanced capabilities like independent 10-band parametric EQ, independent input gain adjustments and variable compression, allow precision tuning to match unique source and room attributes. Enhanced Microphone Processing includes 3-band EQ, compressional, gating, auto-ducking, and limiting on each microphone input to ensure crystal clear communication.

dbx AFS (Advanced Feedback Suppression)

Never experience feedback problems again, Advanced Feedback Suppression (AFS) takes the guesswork out of controlling feedback, which is not only annoying but can even damage speakers – and ears. AFS is flexible and easy to use: just choose the level of suppression you want, and you're done. AFS automatically stops feedback in its tracks.

Crown DriveCore Amplification (NCITE-813A/AC only)

Seamlessly integrates the amplifier drive stage into the power output stage fusing everything into a chip the size of a dime. The foundational DriveCore™ circuitry is based on breakthroughs by Crown's own Gerald Stanley with five patents applying to the advanced feedback, modulation and output stage technologies.

Installation

Overview

This chapter provides information on installing a presentation system into an equipment rack.

Mounting the NCITE-813 into an Equipment Rack

The NCITE-813/813A occupies one rack unit (1 RU) in a standard equipment rack. The NCITE-813AC occupies two rack units (2 RU) in a rack. The following steps apply to mounting the presentation systems.

1. Discharge any static electricity from your body by touching a grounded metal object.
2. Position and install the mounting brackets, as shown in FIG. 4, using the supplied mounting screws. FIG. 4 displays how the brackets should be attached to the NCITE-813AC:

Technical line drawing of a server rack with ports and connectors (no text or symbols)

FIG. 4 Rack mounting the NCITE-813AC

FIG. 5 displays how the brackets should be attached to the NCITE-813/813A:

Line drawing of a server rack with ports and connectors (no text or symbols)

FIG. 5 Rack Mounting the NCITE-813/813A

1. Install the presentation system in the mounting rack by using the mounting screws to affix the unit to the rack. Use four screws to mount each bracket on the NCITE-813AC. The NCITE-813/813A requires only two screws for each bracket.

NOTE: You can also rotate the mounting brackets on each type of unit to mount the device to the underside of a surface such as a table or desk.

1. Connect any applicable wires to the presentation system. Refer to the Wiring and Device Connections (Incite Devices) section on page 22 for wiring diagrams and pinout descriptions.

CAUTION: DO NOT stand other units directly on top of the presentation system when it is rack mounted, as this will place excessive strain on the mounting brackets.

Ventilation

ALWAYS ensure that the rack enclosure is adequately ventilated. Do not block any ventilation openings. Sufficient airflow must be achieved (by convection or forced-air cooling) to satisfy the ventilation requirements of all the items of equipment installed within the rack.

NOTE: The maximum operating ambient temperature is 40C (104F).

CAUTION: When installing equipment into a rack, distribute the units evenly. Otherwise, hazardous conditions may be created by an uneven weight distribution.

Reliable earthing (grounding) of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained.

The presentation system should not be installed in enclosed spaces. It is recommended that you leave 1 RU of space above the presentation system when you install it in a rack.

I/O Port

The I/O port (port 22 on the NCITE-813AC) is a 6-pin 3.5 mm male connector used for connecting logic-level outputs. The I/O port responds to either switch closures, voltage level (high/low) changes, or it can be used for logic-level outputs. Each port is capable of being used as an input or an output.

FIG. 43 displays the I/O port for the NCITE-813AC.

FIG. 43 I/O ports

• A contact closure between the GND and an I/O port is detected as a Push.
• When used for voltage inputs, the I/O port detects a low signal (0 - 1.5 VDC) as a Push, and a high signal (3.5 - 5 VDC) as a Release. (This I/O port uses 5V logic but can handle up to 12V without harm).
• When used for outputs, the I/O port acts as a switch to GND and is rated for 200mA @ 12 VDC.
  • The NCITE-813AC can use up to 4 I/O ports
• The PWR pin provides +12 VDC @ 200 mA and is designed as a power output for the PCS Power Current Sensors, VSS2 Video Sync Sensors (or equivalent).

AxLink Port and LED (4-pin captive-wire)

The AxLink port allows the central controller to support AMX AxLink devices.

FIG. 45 displays the AXLINK port for the NCITE-813AC.

FIG. 45 AxLink Ports and LEDs
The (green) AxLink LED indicates AxLink data activity:
- Off - No power, or the controller is not functioning properly.
- 1 blink per second - Normal operation.
- 3 blinks per second - AxLink bus error. Check all AxLink bus connections.

The AxLink port can be used to supply power to downstream AxLink-compatible devices as long as the maximum current draw is less than 0.5 Amps on the NCITE-813AC. To isolate the central controller from high in-rush current, AxLink devices, or potential power faults on the AxLink bus, it is strongly recommended that you power external AxLink devices from an independent power supply.
NOTE: The AxLink port provides only limited power to connected AxLink devices. It is recommended to use an alternate power source when connecting AxLink devices to the central controller.
IMPORTANT: The NCITE-813AC CANNOT be powered via the AxLink port. The +12V pin on the AxLink connectors are designed only for voltage output. Do NOT connect +12V from a power supply or the NXA-PDU to the +12V pin on the AxLink connectors, or you may permanently damage the NCITE-813AC and/or the power supply.
Refer to the following table for the wiring length information used with the AxLink port:

Wiring Guidelines

Wire size Maximum wiring length

18 AWG 154.83 feet (47.19 meters)

20 AWG 98.30 feet (29.96 meters)

22 AWG 63.40 feet (19.32 meters)

FIG. 46 Mini-Phoenix connector wiring diagram (direct data and power)

To use the 4-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix (male) captive-wire connector for data communication and power transfer, the incoming PWR and GND cable from the 12 VDC-compliant power supply must be connected to the AxLink cable connector going to the central controller. FIG. 47 shows the wiring diagram:

FIG. 47 4-pin mini-Phoenix connector wiring diagram (using external power source)

CAUTION: When you connect an external power supply, do not connect the wire from the PWR terminal (coming from the external device) to the PWR terminal on the Phoenix connector attached to the Controller unit. Make sure to connect only the AXM, AXP, and GND wires to the Controller's Phoenix connector when using an external power supply.

Make sure to connect only the GND wire on the AxLink/PWR connector when using a separate 12 VDC power supply. Do not connect the PWR wire to the AxLink connector's PWR (+) opening.

Configuration DIP Switch

The NCITE-813AC has a configuration DIP switch which allows for certain operations to occur during boot-time. FIG. 48 displays the Configuration DIP Switch for the NCITE-813AC.

FIG. 48 Configuration DIP Switch

Program Run Disable (PRD) Mode

You can use the Configuration DIP switch to set the on-board Master to Program Run Disable (PRD) mode. PRD mode prevents the NetLinx program stored in the on-board Master from running when you power up the Integrated Controller. You should only use PRD mode when you suspect the resident NetLinx program is causing inadvertent communication and/or control problems. If necessary, place the on-board Master in PRD mode and use the NetLinx Studio program to resolve the communication and/or control problems with the resident NetLinx program. Then download the new NetLinx program and try again. FIG. 49 displays the default DIP switch settings and the settings for PRD mode. To switch to PRD mode, move the position 1 DIP switch to ON.

Default mode PRD mode
FIG. 49 DIP Switch settings - PRD mode

NOTE: Consider equating PRD Mode to a PC?s SAFE Mode setting. With PRD mode, you can continue to power a unit, update the firmware, and download a new program while circumventing any problems with a currently downloaded program. You must power cycle the unit after activating/deactivating PRD mode on Program Port DIP switch #1.

ICSLAN Port

The NCITE-813AC has two types of Ethernet ports: LAN and ICSLAN. The LAN port is used to connect the master to an external network, and the ICSLAN port is used to connect to other AMX equipment or third-party A/V equipment. The ICSLAN port provides Ethernet Communication to connected AMX Ethernet Equipment in a way that is isolated from the primary LAN connection. The ICSLAN port is a 10/100 Port RJ-45 connector and Auto MDI/MDI-X enabled. The NCITE-813AC features one port. The port supports IPv4 and IPv6 networks, as well as HTTP, HTTPS, Telnet, and FTP.

FIG. 50 ICSLAN port

The ICSLAN port gets its IP addresses in one or more of the following ways:

• IPv4 - Static assignment of the subnetwork address by the user
  • IPv6 - Link local address

Using the ICSLAN Network

The default IP address for the ICSLAN network is 198.18.0.1 with a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0.

It is important that the ICSLAN and LAN subnets do not overlap. If the LAN port is configured such that its address space overlaps with the ICSLAN network, the ICSLAN network will be DISABLED.

NOTE: Typically, the NCITE-813AC communicates with an A/V switcher via ICSLAN. Since the A/V switcher has a static IP address on the ICSLAN network, and you cannot change the IP address on the switcher, you cannot change the 198.18 subnet information on the NCITE-813AC platform of processors. You can only change the Host name and DHCP server settings.

DHCP Server

The ICSLAN port has a built-in DHCP server. This DHCP server is enabled by default and will serve IP addresses to any connected devices set to DHCP mode.

The DHCP server can be disabled from telnet with the command:

SET ICSLAN

The DHCP address range is fixed. The server will provide addresses in the range x.x.0.2 through x.x.63.255.

Devices using static IP addresses on the ICSLAN network should be set within the reserved static IP address range of x.x.64.1 to x.x.255.255.

Opening LAN and ICSLAN Sockets from Code

When opening sockets from NetLinx or Java code there is no mechanism to indicate which network to use. The controller will open the socket on whichever network has an IP subnet that matches the address provided in the command to open the socket. There is no indication which network was used, only whether the socket was created successfully.

USB Port

The NCITE-813AC features one Type-A USB port you can use to connect a mass storage device for loading .jar files and IR data files (.irl), reading or writing configuration files and log files, or updating the firmware on the unit.

NOTE: This USB port only supports a FAT32 file system.

This USB port (FIG. 51) uses standard USB cabling to connect to any mass storage or peripheral devices.

FIG. 51 USB port

NOTE: USB hubs are not supported on this port.

ID Pushbutton

The NCITE-813AC features an ID pushbutton which you can use to toggle between static and dynamic IP addressing. You can also use the pushbutton to reset the default settings on the controller or restore the controller to its factory firmware image.

FIG. 52 displays the ID pushbutton for the NCITE-813AC.

FIG. 52 ID pushbutton

Switching to Static or Dynamic IP Addressing

To toggle between static or dynamic IP addressing, the controller cannot be currently booting or it must be in ID Mode. If these conditions are met, holding the ID pushbutton for 10 seconds toggles the current IP addressing mode between static and dynamic IP addressing.

Restoring the Controller Settings to the Factory Defaults

To restore the controller settings to the factory defaults, the controller must be currently booting and you must press the ID push-button for 10 seconds. The controller is booting when the System and Input LEDs are both ON and the Output LED is OFF. This includes resetting the static IP address to its default and deleting the NetLinx program.

NOTE: The presentation system cannot detect a press of the ID pushbutton until 30 seconds into the booting process. While booting the unit, any ID pushbutton presses before 30 seconds have elapsed are not detected. You can verify the unit has detected a button press when the front panel LEDs begin to flash at one second intervals.

CAUTION: Pressing the ID pushbutton for 20 seconds restores the factory firmware image on the controller. Do not press the pushbutton significantly longer than the necessary 10 seconds if you only want to restore the default settings on the controller.

Restoring the Controller's Factory Firmware Image

To restore the controller's factory firmware image, the controller must currently be booting and you must press the ID pushbutton for 20 seconds. This also deletes all code and IRL files.

NOTE: The presentation system cannot detect a press of the ID pushbutton until 30 seconds into the booting process. While booting the unit, any ID pushbutton presses before 30 seconds have elapsed are not detected. You can verify the unit has detected a button press when the front panel LEDs begin to flash at one second intervals.

LAN 10/100 Port

The NCITE-813 features a LAN 10/100 port to provide 10/100 Mbps communication via Category cable. This is an Auto MDI/MDI-X enabled port, which allows you to use either straight-through or crossover Ethernet cables. The port support IPv4 and IPv6 networks, as well as HTTP, HTTPS, SSH, and FTP.

The LAN port automatically negotiates the connection speed (10 Mbps or 100 Mbps), and whether to use half duplex or full duplex mode.

FIG. 53 displays the LAN port for the NCITE-813.

This page is only available on the NCITE-813AC Presentation System.

FIG. 68 Network - Date/Time page

The Clock Manager Options are separated into three areas:

1 Clock Manager - The Clock Manager allows you to set the Clock Manager Mode (Network Time or Stand Alone).
Daylight Savings Time Manager - The Daylight Savings Time Manager allows you to specify how and when to implement Daylight Savings rules on the clock.
NIST Server Manager - The NIST Server Manager allows you to connect to a specific NIST (Internet Time Service) Server.

Setting the Mode for the Clock Manager

1. In the Manage System tab (FIG. 68), select a Time Sync option.

Network Time: This option allows the Master to manage it's clock by connecting to a NIST (Internet Time Service) Server. When this option is selected, the Master will connect to the default NIST Server to get date and time information.

You can select a different NIST Server (or specify the IP Address of a known NIST Server) in the NIST Server Manager section (see the Selecting a Custom NIST Server section on page 60).

Stand Alone: This option lets the Master use its own internal clock. When this option is selected, two additional fields are available on this tab:

Date - Enter the current date in this field (mm/dd/yyyy).
Time - Enter the current time in these fields (Hours/Minutes/Seconds).

1. Click Accept to save these settings to the Master.

Setting Daylight Savings Rules

1. In the Daylight Savings Time Manager section (FIG. 69), enable Daylight Savings mode by clicking the On button. Clicking On reveals additional Daylight Savings options.

FIG. 69 Date/Time Options - Daylight Savings Time Manager

1. Use the Offset drop-down menus to adjust the amount of time (hours and minutes) to offset Daylight Savings. By default, the offset is set to 1 hour.

NOTE: Although most places that support Daylight Savings usually adjust the local time by one hour this doesn't cover all locations.

To provide flexibility for such locations it is possible to configure a different daylight savings time offset.

1. Use the Starts fields to specify when Daylight Savings should start. The Starts rules include:

- Select Fixed to specify the calendar date when the rule applies as a specific date ("March 21"). When Fixed is selected, use the Day, Month, Hours, and Minutes fields to specify the date and time (hh:mm) to start Daylight Savings time.

- Select by Occurrence to specify the calendar date when the rule applies as a heuristic, ("the 3rd Sunday in March"). When by Occurrence is selected, use the Wk of the Month, Day, Month, Hours, and Minutes fields to specify the occurrence to start Daylight Savings time.

The range for Wk of the Month is 1 through Last, where Last indicates the last occurrence of a particular day of the month. This is to accommodate months that include four weeks as well as those that include five.

1. Use the Ends fields to specify when Daylight Savings should end. The Ends rules match the Start rules, and follow the same logic. Select Fixed or by Occurrence, and specify the End date/time information accordingly.

2. Click Accept to save these settings to the Master.

Security Overview

The Security page is accessed by clicking Security on the page's main heading. This page allows you to view configure and modify the Master's security settings at three levels (System, Role, and User). See the Security Presets section on page 68 for more information on the three presets.

• System Level - changes made at this level affect the system globally. See the Security - General section on page 65 for details.
• Role Level - changes made at this level affect specific Roles. See the Security - Roles section on page 69 for details.
• User Level - changes made at this level affect individual Users. See the Security - Users section on page 73 for details.

The default view for the option is System Security Settings (FIG. 73).

FIG. 73 System Security Settings

NOTE: By default, all System-level security options are disabled, except for Authentication On Server Ports, which requires a login for access to the web or command line interface.

Additional security configuration options are available via Terminal/Telnet Commands. See Accessing the Security Configuration Options sections in the NetLinx Programming Guide (available at www.amx.com) for more information.

NOTE: While the Security page exists on NCITE-813/813A Presentation Systems, the options listed in this chapter are not available for these devices.

Login Rules

There is no limit to the number of concurrent logins allowed for a single user. This allows for the creation of a single user that is provided to multiple ICSP devices (touch panels, for example) using the same login to obtain access to the Master. For example, if you have 50 devices connected to a Master, you do not have to create 50 individual user accounts, with one for each device. Instead, you only need to create one which all 50 devices use for access.

The first layer of security for the Master is to prompt a user to enter a valid user name and password before gaining access to a secured feature on the target Master.

Depending on the Security configuration, users may be prompted to enter a valid user name and password before gaining access to various features of the WebConsole. User access is specified by the administrator in the Role and User Level pages of the Security section.

NOTE: This user name and password information is also used by both G5 touch panels (within the System Connection firmware page) and AMX software applications such as NetLinx Studio v 4.0 and above to communicate securely with a Master using encrypted communication.

User and Role Name Rules

User account and role names must follow these rules:

• Case-sensitive
• Must be between 4 and 20 alpha-numeric characters: A-Z, a-z, 0-9
• The following characters are allowed: - _. and .

Password Rules

The rules for changing a password vary according to the Password Complexity setting for the user. A user's password complexity can be set to Low, Medium, or High.

• Low - Minimum length is 4 characters, and must be different from the previous password.
• Medium - Minimum length is 8 characters, must contain characters from 3 character classes listed in the table below, must contain at least 4 changes from the previous password, and must be different from the previous 10 passwords.
• High - Minimum length is 15 characters, must contain characters from all of the characters classes listed in the table below, must contain at least 8 changes from the previous password, and must be different from the previous 30 passwords.

The requirements for each setting are listed in the following table:

Password Complexity Requirements
Requirement Low Medium High
Case Change Only No No Yes
Character Classes Required 0 3 4
Library Check No No Yes
Minimum Length 4 8 15
Palindrome Check No No Yes
Same Consecutive Characters No check	5 3
Similarity Check	1 4 8
User Name Check (straight or reversed)	No	Yes	Yes

Other Characters	`~!@#$ % ^ & * () _ - + = { } [ ] \ | :; “‘<>, . ?/ (including “space”)

Security - General

The General Security Settings page provides global permissions for various options that may be individually selected and applied to all users. The Master provides 3 levels of security settings presets: Low, Medium, and High. The levels are simply presets of various security settings. When a preset is selected, the settings are not applied until you click Accept. You can customize any settings as needed on the security preset before accepting and applying the settings. The default for the settings will match the Low presets.

System Level Security - System Security Settings

Click the System Security Settings link to access the System Security Details page (FIG. 74). The options in this page allow you to establish whether the Master will require a valid user name and password be entered prior to gaining access to the configuration options.

FIG. 74 System Security Settings
These are global options that enable or disable the login requirement for both users and roles.

System Security Options

The System Security options are described in the following table:

System Security Options
Option Description
Security Presets	The Master provides three levels of security setting presets: Low, Medium, and High. Each level is a preset of various security settings (see the Security Presets section on page 68 for more information.) When a preset is selected, that setting is applied after clicking Accept.NOTE: If a security preset is not selected, all subordinate options are grayed-out and not selectable, meaning that the Master is completely unsecured and can be altered by any user (regardless of their rights).
Audit Log Select to enable/disable remote syslog. See the Audit Logs section on page 68 for more information.
Banner Display	Select to turn on or turn off banner messages. Banners enable you to display pre- and post-login text in the WebConsole.See the Banners section on page 69 for more information.
USB Host Port Select to enable all Type-A USB connectors on the Master.
System Security Options (Cont.)
Option Description
Inactivity Timeout	Select to enable the Master to log out a user after a defined period of inactivity. After enabling the inactivity timeout option, use the spin box to set the number of minutes before the timeout activates. You can set a timeout in the range of 1 to 60 minutes. The default setting is 10 minutes. The timeout applies to Program Port, Telnet, SSH, HTTP, and HTTPS sessions. When the inactivity timeout is enabled, the Master limits the number of concurrent sessions for all non-device accounts to 10. When the number of active sessions is full, any additional login attempts will fall.
Password Expiration	Select to force a user to change its password after a set period of time. After enabling the password expiration options, use the spin box to set the interval for password expiration. You can set an amount of time in the range of 1 to 180 days. The default setting is 60 days.NOTE: This option is only valid on locally-maintained accounts. When external LDAP is enabled, only the administrator and device user accounts are affected.
Cryptography Strength:	Set the cryptography strength of the Master to Low or High. On the High setting, only FIPS 140-2 validated binarles are used.
Password Complexity	Set the password complexity to Low, Medium, or High. When the password complexity level is raised from a lower level to a higher level, the Master requires confirmation from the user. When the user confirms the change, all passwords are marked as expired on all local user accounts, and the passwords must be changed to meet the new complexity requirements. Password complexity requirements are as follows:Low - Minimum length is 4 characters, and must be different from previous password.Medium - Minimum length is 8 characters, must contain characters from 3 of the following characters sets (uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, other characters), must contain at least 4 changes from the previous password, and must be different from the previous 10 passwords.High - Minimum length is 15 characters, must contain characters from all of the following characters sets (uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, other characters), must contain at least 8 changes from the previous password, and must be different from the previous 30 passwords.NOTE: This option is only valid on locally-maintained accounts. When external LDAP is enabled, only the administrator and device user accounts are affected.
Lockout Access	Select to enable a lock on a user account after a set number of failed logins. When enabled, use the Attempts spin box to set the number of login attempts allowed. Use the Lockout Duration options menu to indicate the amount of time you want the lockout to last. The default setting is 60 minutes.NOTE: This option is only valid on locally-maintained accounts. When external LDAP is enabled, only the administrator user is affected.
HTTP/HTTPS Select to enable HTTP and HTTPS access to the Master.HTTP: The port value used for unsecure HTTP Internet communication between the web browser's UI and the target Master. By disabling this port, the administrator (or other authorized user) can require that any consecutive sessions between the UI and the target Master are done over a more secure HTTPS connection.By default, the Master does not have security enabled and must be communicated with using http:// in the Address field. The default port value is 80.NOTE: One method of adding security to HTTP communication is to change the Port value. If the port value is changed, any consecutive session to the target Master has to add the port value at the end of the address (within the Address field). An example is if the port were changed to 99, the new address information would be: http://192.192.192.192:99.HTTPS: The port value used by web browser to securely communicate between the web server UI and the target Master. This port is also used to simultaneously encrypt this data using the SSL certificate information on the Master as a key. This port is used to communicate securely between the browser (using the web server UI) and the Master using HTTPS but also provide a port for use by the SSL encryption key (embedded into the certificate). Whereas SSL creates a secure connection between a client and a server, over which any amount of data can be sent securely, HTTPS is designed to transmit individual messages securely. Therefore both HTTPS and SSL can be seen as complementary and are configured to communicate over the same port on the Master. These two methods of security and encryption are occurring simultaneously over this port as data is being transferred. The default port value is 443.NOTE: Another method of adding security to HTTPS communication would be to change the port value. If the port value is changed, any consecutive session to the target Master has to add the port value at the end of the address (within the Address field). An example is if the port were changed to 99, the new address information would be: http://192.192.192.192:99.
Telnet/SSH/SSH FTP Access	Select to enable Telnet, SSH, and SSH FTP access to the Master.Telnet: The port value used for Telnet communication to the target Master. Enabling this feature allows future communication with the Master via a separate Telnet application.The default port value for Telnet is 23.Refer to the NetLinx Security with a Terminal Connection section for more information on the related procedures.SSH: The port value used for secure Telnet communication. A separate secure SSH Client would handle communication over this port. When using a secure SSH login, the entire login session (including the transmission of passwords) is encrypted; therefore it is secure method of preventing an external user from collecting passwords.SSH version 2 is supported.The default port value is 22.NOTE: If this port?s value is changed, make sure to use it within the Address field of the SSH Client application.
FTP Access Select to enable FTP access to the Master. The default port value used for FTP communication is 21.NOTE: This port can be disabled/enabled, but its value cannot be changed.
Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP)	Select to enable usage of the OCSP to validate received certificates before trusting the sending site.
Authenticate on Server Ports	Select to require user name and password authentication on Telnet, Program, and HTTP/HTTPS ports. Authentication is always required on FTP/SFTP and SSH ports.NOTE: If Authenticate on Server Ports is disabled but LDAP is enabled, a login is still required. If you do not desire a login, LDAP must also be disabled.
Restricted Switcher Mode - DXLink Network/Logo FTP	Select to enable or disable the Switcher Secure Mode on DVX and DGX platforms. During Switcher Secure Mode, the switcher (5002 device) does not allow packet routing between the LAN connector and any DXLink endpoints.Additionally, the switcher disables any open IP ports on the LAN (e.g. Telnet or FTP servers.)
Authenticate AMX Devices On ICSLAN Ports	Select to require user name and password authentication on devices connected to the ICSLAN ports on the Master.
ICSLAN AMX Device Connection	Select to allow ICSP access to the Master for Device-type users connected to the ICSLAN ports. Expand the ICSLAN AMX Device Connection section to view this option.
AMX Device Connection	Select to enable connection to AMX devices from the Master. Expand the ICSLAN AMX Device Connection section to view this option.
Secure AMX Device Connection	Select to enable secure connection to AMX devices from the Master. Expand the ICSLAN AMX Device Connection section to view this option.
Legacy ICSP Encryption	Select to enable encryption on the legacy ICSP ports on the Master. Expand the ICSLAN AMX Device Connection section to view this option.
Authenticate AMX Devices On LAN Ports	Select to require user name and password authentication on devices connected to the LAN ports on the Master.
LAN AMX Device Connection	Select to allow ICSP access to the Master for Device-type users connected to the LAN ports. Expand the LAN AMX Device Connection section to view this option.
AMX Device Connection	Select to enable connection to AMX devices from the Master. Expand the LAN AMX Device Connection section to view this option.

Once any of the settings have been modified, press the Accept button to save these changes to the Master. Once these changes are saved, the following message appears: "Device must be rebooted for the setting to take effect. To reboot, go to the System Devices page." A link appears which you can click to jump to the System Devices page (see the System - Devices section on page 81 for more information.) Click the Reboot button to remotely reboot the target Master.

Audit Logs

An audit log includes the date/time of the event, the event type, the software or hardware component where the event occurred, the source of the event, the subject identity, and the outcome of the event. For events related to a remote device, the audit log includes the source and destination network addresses and ports or protocol identifiers. The Master generates an audit record for the following events:

• Each successful or unsuccessful attempt to access security files
- Alerts and errors
- Starting/Shutting down audit logging
- Any blocking (including the reason) of access based on a UID, terminal, or access port
- Any configuration change. The record includes the source and destination network addresses and ports or protocol identifiers.
- Denial of access due to excessive login attempts
• Each log off
• Each successful or unsuccessful attempt to log on to the application
- Successfully or unsuccessfully loading and starting a Duet module
- Modification of permissions associated with roles
- Connection and loss of connection to an NTP server. (Loss of connection is defined as three successive failed polls. A single successful poll constitutes a re-connection.
- System reboot
- Software or firmware updates
- Creation, modification, and deletion of user accounts

NOTE: The Master retains audit log records for 30 days (or less depending on available space), after which they are automatically purged.

Banners

Banners enable you to display pre- and post-login text in the WebConsole and terminal interfaces. Banner files are text files containing up to 5000 characters in each file. (Any additional characters are discarded.)

NOTE: Banner files are user-provided and optional. If no files are found, no banner appears.

The following special characters are allowed for use in banner text messages:

$$ !" # \% \& ^ {\prime} () * +, -. /:; < = >? @ [ \backslash ] ^ {\wedge} _ {-} ^ {\prime} {| } \sim $$

Also allowed are any printable ASCII characters (including "space"): A-Z, a-z, 0-9.

Pre-login banners must be named "banner.txt" and stored in the /user directory on the Master. Post-login banners are obtained from one or more files in the /user directory. Post-login banner text is a concatenation of the allroles_banner.txt file, followed by all of the applicable _banner.txt files, where is the name of a defined Role in the system. The applicable files are those that match the Roles assigned to the user that logged in. If a Role is currently locked, its banner file is not included.

NOTE: If you load a new "banner.txt" file with new content to the Master, you must reboot the Master to display the new file.

Security - Roles

A Role is a set of privileges or permissions assigned to one or more users. The privileges and permissions can involve various functions or allow access to specific ports. Any privileges or permissions set for a role are inherited by all users sharing that role. Multiple roles can be assigned to a user, but at the same time, roles are not required for users. A user can have zero roles assigned to it.

NOTE: You cannot assign a permission directly to a user. All user permissions are determined by the Role assigned to the user.

NOTE: If you have a remote directory such as LDAP enabled, the common name of the LDAP group on the LDAP server must match the name of the Role assigned to the user on the Master.

Select the Roles option of the Security Page to access the Role Security Details page (FIG. 75).

FIG. 75 Security - Roles page

The options in this page allow authorized users to assign and alter role properties such as creating, modifying, or deleting a role's rights, locking a role, and defining the files/directories accessible by a particular role. Locking a role disables the role without deleting it.

2. The name must be a valid character string consisting of 4 - 20 alpha-numeric characters. See the User and Role Name Rules section on page 64 for a complete list of valid characters.

3. The string is case sensitive and must be unique.
4. The terms "All_Permissions" and "Studio" cannot be used for a new role name since the names already exist by default.

NOTE: If you have a remote directory such as LDAP enabled, the common name of the LDAP group on the LDAP server must match the name of the Role assigned to the user on the Master.

1. Enable the security access rights you want to provide to the role. By default, all of these options are disabled. See the Role Permissions section on page 70 for details.
2. Click the Accept button to save your changes to the target Master.

If there are no errors within any of the page parameters, a "Role added successfully" message displays at the top of the page.

NOTE: Security changes made from within the web browser are applied instantly without the need to reboot.

Viewing and Modifying Role Security Settings Details

Click any Role listed on the Role Security Details page to expand the view to show details for the selected user Role (FIG. 77):

FIG. 77 Role Security Details Page

If there are no errors with the modification of any of this page's parameters, a "Role updated successfully" is displayed at the top of the page. NOTE: The "All_Permissions" user name cannot be modified or deleted.

Any properties possessed by roles (ex: access rights, update rights, directory associations, etc.) are inherited by users assigned to that particular role.

Unchecking a security option (which is available within the associated role) does not remove that right from the user. The only way to remove a role's available security right from a target user is either to not associate a role to a user or to alter the security rights of the role being associated.

Deleting a Role

1. Select the Roles option (in the Security section) to open the Role Security Details page.
2. Click the Edit button (see FIG. 77) for any Role listed on the Role Security Details page to expand the view to show details for the selected Role.
3. Click Delete to remove the selected role and refresh the page. The system will prompt you to verify this action - click OK to proceed.
   If the role is associated with several users, you might get an error while trying to delete the role. If this happens, change the role association of
   those specific users utilizing the old role and either give them a new role or assign them (none) as a role. When you return to delete the desired role, you receive a message saying "Role deleted successfully".
4. Click the Accept button to save your changes to the Master.

Locking/Disabling a Role

1. Select the Roles option (in the Security section) to open the Role Security Details page.

FIG. 78 Security - Users page
A User represents a single client of the Master, while a Role specifies a set of privileges and permissions which can be assigned to a user. An administrator can assign up to 5 roles to a single user. Any properties possessed by a role are inherited by all of the users assigned to the role.

Default User Accounts

By default, the NetLinx Master creates the following accounts, access rights, directory associations, and security options:

Default User Accounts
administrator netlinx
Username: administrator Username: netlinx
Password: password Password: password
Role: All_Permissions Role: Studio
Directory Association: /* Directory Association: none
NOTE: You can delete and/or modify the “administrator” user account to optimize system security. If deleted, you can create a new user with the “administrator” user name with its own proper settings, provided LDAP is not enabled.	NOTE: The “netlinx” user account is compatible with previous NetLinx Master firmware versions. This account is initially created by default and can later be deleted or modified.

• FTP Security is always enabled on the Masters.
• All other security options are disabled by default.

The options on this page allow authorized users to enable and modify LDAP security settings.

FIG. 81 Security - LDAP page

LDAP Options

All parameters are case sensitive and must be entered exactly as they are entered into the LDAP database. You can also perform LDAP Client Configuration via terminal commands to the NetLinx Master's Program Port - see the Enabling LDAP via the Program Port section in the NetLinx Programming Guide (available at www.amx.com) for details.
See Appendix A: LDAP Implementation Details in the NetLinx Programming Guide (available at www.amx.com) for additional information on implementing LDAP on the NetLinx Master. The LDAP options are described in the following table:

LDAP Options
Option Description
LDAP Enabled: This parameter enables the LDAP configuration parameters described below. NOTE: When LDAP is enabled, you can only create device users. If the administrator user has been deleted, you must perform a factory reset of the Master via pushbutton to restore the administrator user.
LDAP URI This parameter has the syntax ldap[s]://hostname:port. • The ldap:// URL is used to connect to LDAP servers over unsecured connections. • The ldaps:// URL is used to connect to LDAP server over Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) connections. • The hostname parameter is the name or IP address, in dotted format, of the LDAP server (for example, LDAPServer01 or 192.202.185.90). • The port parameter is the port number of the LDAP server (for example, 696). NOTE: The standard unsecured port number is 389 and the standard secured port number is 636.
LDAP BASE DN	This parameter specifies the Distinguished Name (DN) of an entry in the directory. It identifies the entry that is the starting point of the user search.
BIND DN	This parameter specifies the Distinguished Name (DN) to use to bind to the LDAP server for the initial search for the user's DN.
User Query Attr	This LDAP attribute is used for the AMX equipment user search (for example, UID). NOTE: This attribute MUST be unique in the context of the LDAP BASEDN or the search will fail.
Search Password This is the password used for the initial bind to the LDAP server - it is the password associated with BIND DN.

Click the LDAP enabled check box to make the LDAP options available for selection.

• When LDAP is enabled, users are authenticated using the configuration set up on the LDAP server.
• The "administrator" user is handled by the local NetLinx Master, and does not connect to the LDAP server for user verification.
• If an administrator password change is desired, LDAP must be disabled, the password changed and saved and then LDAP re-enabled.
• Users may not be added or deleted via the web pages when LDAP is enabled.
• User access privileges cannot be changed via the web pages.
• As users log onto a NetLinx Master, their user name and access privileges are displayed on the User Security Details page (see Security - Users section on page 73). This information is stored in the master's RAM but is not written to non-volatile memory, and is lost after rebooting the Master.
• If a user is removed from the LDAP directory tree, access is denied, and if that user name is on the master's User Security Details web page it is removed.

Accepting Changes

Click the Accept/Test button to save changes on this page. Accepting changes is instantaneous and does not require rebooting the Master.

Testing the Connection to the LDAP Server

After entering and accepting the parameters, the Accept/Test button can be used to test the connection to the LDAP server. This test does a bind to the BIND DN using the Search Password entered. • If the bind is successful, the message Connection successful is displayed.

- If the server could not be reached or the bind is unsuccessful, the message Could not connect to server -- Please check LDAP URI, BIND DN and Search Password settings is displayed.

Refer to Appendix A: LDAP Implementation Details in the NetLinx Programming Guide (available at www.amx.com) for additional information.

IMPORTANT: For the NX-series Masters to work with LDAP over SSL (LDAPS), you must upload a CA server certificate in .pem format to the Master's FTP server. The certificate's file name must be "ldap_ad.pem" and the file must be saved in a folder named "certs". Once the file is uploaded, you must reboot the Master for the certificate file to be read and employed by the system. LDAPS requires Master Firmware version 1.3.78 or greater.

Wired 802.1X support

IEEE 802.1X is an IEEE Standard for Port-based Network Access Control (PNAC). PNAC provides the ability to grant or deny network access to devices wishing to attach to a LAN based on credentials tied to the device rather than to a user. Until the device has been verified and permitted access, no network traffic is passed through the connected port, effectively keeping the device disconnected from the network.

The NX-Series controller acts as a supplicant (client device) to a wired 802.1X enabled network and presents customer-provided X.509 certificates to be allowed access to protected networks. The following EAP Encryption Methods are supported.

• PEAPv0/MSCHAPv2
• TTLS/MSCHAPv2
• TTLS/PAP
  MD5

Customer provided X.509 certificates are uploaded to the NX-Series controller using NetLinx Studio, and 802.1x is configured via the Command Line Interface and the syntax:

DOT1X [status|enable|disable]

Once you add the certificate file to your workspace, NetLinx Studio transfers the file to the appropriate directory on the controller.

1. Click to select (highlight) a System (in the Workspace tab of the Workspace Bar).
2. Right-click on the Other folder to access the Other File Folder context menu, and select Add Existing Other File.
3. In the Add Existing Other File dialog, locate and select the certificate file (.crt) that you want to add to the selected System. Change the Files of Type option to All Files (*.*) to look for other file types, if necessary.
4. Click Open to access the File Properties dialog, where you can view/edit general file information for the selected file.
5. Click OK to add the file to the selected System. The file should now appear in the Other folder under the selected System.

Security - Profile

The Profile page (FIG. 82) enables a user to see its own roles and permissions. The user cannot change the roles and permissions on this page. The Change Password option for user accounts is available on this page.

FIG. 82 Security - Profile page

Configuring Device Binding Options

1. Use the Configure System Binding Options to specify how the Master will manage Bound Devices:

Configure System Binding Options
Option Description
IP Device Discovery	This option enables you to specify whether you want the Master to scan your network and locate any devices connected to it.
Enable Auto Shutdown	Auto-Shutdown forces the termination of modules that have lost communication with their respective physical device. This capability is needed for plug-and-play support.By default, Auto-Shutdown is enabled. If automatic termination of modules when they have lost communication is not desired, this selection should be disabled.
Enable Subnet Match	This selection allows you to specify whether or not IP devices should only be detected/discovered if they are on the same IP Subnet as the Master.
Purge Bound Modules on Reset	This selection indicates that all modules should be deleted from the bound directory upon the next reboot.During the binding process, the associated Duet modules for a device are copied from the /unbound directory into a protected /bound area.Due to the dynamic nature of Java class loading, it is not safe to delete a running .JAR file. Therefore, this selection provides the administrator the capability of removing existing modules upon reboot by forcing a re-acquisition of the module at blind time.This selection is a one-time occurrence. Upon the next reboot, the selection is cleared.

1. Press the Accept button to save your changes.

Managing Device Driver Modules

Use the Manage Device Driver Modules set of options to upload, archive, or delete modules from the Master. All modules currently present on the Master are indicated in the Module list.

Uploading a Module

Perform the following steps to browse for a Module file and then upload it to the Master:

1. Click Upload Module to browse for Duet Modules on your PC/Network.
2. Select the JAR file that you want to upload to the Master.
3. Click the Open button to upload a copy of the selected JAR file to the target Master's /unbound directory. Only JAR file types are allowed for Upload to the target Master.

Archiving a Module

Click the Archive button next to the module you want to archive. This action copies the selected module (*.JAR) file to your PC. Your PC may require you to confirm this action depending on its security settings.

Deleting a Module

Select a module and click the Delete Module button. This action deletes the selected module from the /unbound directory.

NOTE: Any corresponding module within the /bound directory will not be deleted. Bound modules must be deleted via the Purge Bound Modules on Reset selection described in the Configure System Binding Options section.

Modules - Bindings

Click Bindings to access the Device Bindings page (FIG. 87). Use the options on this page to configure application-defined Duet virtual devices with discovered physical devices.

FIG. 87 Modules - Bindings

The table on this page displays a list of all application-defined devices, including each device's "Friendly Name", the Duet virtual device's D:P:S assignment, the associated Duet Device SDK class (indicating the type of the device), and the physical device's D:P:S assignment. This information has to be pre-coded into the NetLinx file currently on the Master.

Configuring Application-Defined Devices

Elements such as DUET_DEV_TYPE_DISPLAY and DUET_DEV_POLLED are defined within the NetLinx.axi file.

The NetLinx.axi file contains both the new API definitions, as well as the pre-defined constants that are used as some of the API arguments (ex: DUET_DEV_TYPE_DISPLAY).

NOTE: Physical device names are typically prefixed with "dv" and Virtual device names are typically prefixed with "vdv".

Example Code:

PROGRAM_NAME='DDD'
DEFINE_DEVICE
COM1 = 5001:1:0
COM2 = 5001:2:0
dvDisplay = 41001:1:0 dvVideoProjector = 41002:1:0
DEFINE_CONSTANT
DEFINE_TYPE
DEFINE_VARIABLE
DEFINE_START 

STATIC_PORT_BINDING(dvDisplay, COM1, DUET_DEV_TYPE_DISPLAY, 'statbcc Display', DUET_DEV_POLLED) 

DYNAMIC_POLLED_PORT(COM2)

DYNAMIC_APPLICATION_DEVICE(dvVideoProjector, DUET_DEV_TYPE_VIDEO_PROJECTOR, 'statbcc Serial Projector')
(**)  
(* THE EVENTS GO BELOW *)  
(**)  
*DEFINE_EVENT
DATA_EVENT [dvVideoProjector]
{
    // Duet Virtual device data events go here } 

You can find this example code within the DEFINE_START section of your code. This code is reflected in the first two entries listed in FIG. 87. The code gives the Master a "heads-up" notification to look for those devices meeting the criteria outlined within the code.

Application Devices and Association Status

There are two types of application devices: Static Bound application devices and Dynamic application devices:

• Static Bound application devices specify both a Duet virtual device and its associated Device SDK class type, as well as a NetLinx physical device port to which the application device is always associated (i.e. statically bound).
• Dynamic application devices specify both the Duet virtual device and its associated Device SDK with no association to a physical port. Binding of an application device to a physical device/port occurs at run-time (either via auto-binding or manual binding).

Application devices that have a "bound" physical device display their physical device ID within the Physical Device column. If an associated Duet module has been started to communicate with the device, its associated property information is displayed in a mouse-over popup dialog when the cursor hovers over the physical device ID (see FIG. 88). Each entry in the table has one of four buttons to the right of the Physical Device D:P:S assignment:

- Static Bound application devices will either be blank, or display a Release button:

- Static Bound application devices that have not yet detected a physical device attached to their associated port have a blank button.

- Once a physical device is detected and its associated Duet module has been started, a Release button appears. Click Release to force the associated Duet module to be destroyed. The firmware then returns to detecting any physical devices attached to the port.

• Dynamic application devices either display a Bind or Unbind button:

• Dynamic application devices that have been bound display an Unbind button. When you select Unbind, any associated Duet module is destroyed and the "link" between the application device and the physical device is broken.
• Dynamic application devices that have not been bound to a physical device display a Bind button. When this button is selected, a secondary display appears with a listing of all available unbound physical devices that match the application device's Device SDK class type.

NOTE: If a currently bound device needs to be replaced or a Duet Module needs to be swapped out, the device should be unbound and the new module/driver should then be bound.

The administrator/user can select one of the available physical devices to bind with the associated application device. When you click Accept, the binding is created and the target Master attempts to locate the appropriate Duet Module driver. Once the Master locates a driver, the Duet Module started and becomes associated with the specified application device (Duet virtual device). If the you click Cancel button, the binding activity aborts.

NOTE: If the manufacturer device does not support Dynamic Device Discovery (DDD) beaconing, you must use the Add Device page to both create and manage those values necessary to add a dynamic physical device. This process is described in detail in the Modules - User-Defined Devices section on page 87.

Viewing Physical Device Properties

Hold the mouse cursor over the Physical Device entry in the table to display detailed device properties for that device in a pop-up window (FIG. 88). You can only view the device properties for bound devices.

FIG. 88 Device Bindings - Device Properties pop-up

Modules - User-Defined Devices

Click the User-Defined Devices link (in the Manage Devices tab) to access the User-Defined Devices page (FIG. 89). This page provides a listing with all of the dynamic devices that have been discovered in the system, and allows you to add and delete User-Defined Devices.

Modules - Active Devices

Click the Active Devices link (in the Manage Devices tab) to access the Active Devices page (FIG. 91). The options on this page allow you to check devices for compatible Duet Modules.

FIG. 91 Modules - Active Devices

Searching For All Compatible Duet Modules for a Selected Device

1. Click the Search button for any device to search for a Duet Module for that particular device. This action initiates a search for compatible modules. Modules that are retrieved from either the Internet or from the manufacturer's device are then placed into the /unbound directory and automatically overwrite any existing module of the same name. If the device specified a URL in its DDD beacon, the file is retrieved from the URL either over the Internet or from the physical device itself, provided the device has an onboard HTTP or FTP server.
2. Once a list of all compatible modules is compiled, the list of available Duet Modules appears on this page. Each module is listed with its calculated "match" value. The greater the "match" value, the better the match between the Duet Module's properties and the physical device's properties.
3. Select a module and click the Accept button to associate the selected Duet module with the physical device. NOTE: This action will not affect any currently running Duet module associated with the physical device. The module is associated with the device upon reboot.

SEND\_COMMANDS

The commands listed in the following sections are for the switcher only. For generic NetLinx commands, see the NetLinx Integrated Controllers WebConsole and Programming Guide.

• The commands derive their input/output port addressing from the target D:P:S.
• INPUT ports range from 1-14 for Audio and from 1-8 for Video. HDMI inputs are capable of carrying both digital audio and video signals
• The extra ports 1 and 2 on the Audio subsystem represent MIC1 and MIC2 respectively.
• There are four Audio output ports (05002:1:0, 05002:2:0, 05002:3:0, and 05002:4:0).
• Audio Output Port #1 is the Main Amp Output and most audio commands are addressed to this port.
• Audio Output Ports 2-4 are the Line Outputs and normally track the Main Amp Output port with small exceptions.
• There are four Video output ports (05002:1:0, 05002:2:0, 05002:3:0, and 05002:4:0).
• Input and Output functional distinctions are disambiguated from the overlapped port numbers by combining them with the command name.

Appendix C - Volume Attenuation Table

Overview

Volume attenuation on the Incite Presentation Systems is not set by percentage. On the Incite Presentation Systems, the output volume slider changes .5dB per click to provide a more subtle adjustment.

Unity gain is at 88, so a setting of 100 is actually 6dB gain. A setting of 20 would be -34 reduction (88-20=68 clicks. @ .5dB per click =34 dB). This is only the output slider.
