Use only the View CD to install Multi-Media software on a View operator's PC.
Features
For secure installations, the Security Officer(s) in your organization should:
• Designate as few Multi SAs as possible.
• Limit the installation of Admin software to the PC(s) of Multi SAs, especially in open
systems.
For secure installations, Honeywell recommends that only Multi SAs receive copies of
Admin software.
Also consider that:
• View operators should only receive copies of View software.
• Distribution of Admin documentation should be limited to Multi SAs.
As a security measure, only the Admin CD can be used to install the Admin user
documents.
When you use the View CD, only a

Portable Document format (PDF). The software needs to be installed before the
documentation is available for viewing. Documents cannot be viewed directly from a
software CD. However, a documentation CD is included if you need to circulate the
documentation.

recommends using and changing the system password and the password of the default
Administrator account, even in minimal security environments. See
