Accessing the WebConsole
NetLinx Masters have a built-in WebConsole that allows you to make 
various configuration settings via a web browser on any PC with access to 
the Master.
The WebConsole consists of a series of web pages that are collectively called 
the “Master Configuration Manager”. Refer to the NX Series NetLinx Integrated 
Controllers WebConsole & Programming Guide for details on the WebConsole.
From any PC with access to the LAN that the target Master resides on:
1. Open a web browser and type the IP Address of the target Master in 
the Address Bar.
2. Press Enter to access WebConsole for the Master. The initial view is 
the WebControl page.

Wired 802.1x Security
The X-Series controllers support wired 802.1x, an IEEE Standard for Port-based 
Network Access Control. To enable wired 802.1x, you must load an 802.1x 
certificate file to your controller using NetLinx Studio. 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.
Setting the Clock Manager Mode
To set the clock manager mode:
1. On the Manage System tab, select a Time Sync option.
• Network Time: 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) on the NIST Servers tab.
• Stand Alone: This option lets the Master use its own internal clock. 
When this option is selected, the Date and Time fields are available on 
this tab.
2. Click Accept to save these settings to the Master.
