Multi-Media Database

Using Another Multi-Media Database

Using a Database with View

1. Launch Admin (or View). The Logon window appears.
2. In the Central Database section, leave or switch the database (Access or SQL server)
by clicking its button. Enter the name of the Multi-Media database that you need.
3. Enter an user account name in the User ID field. The account name must be part of
the Multi-Media database selected in the previous step.
4. Enter the password to the account in the Password field. Click OK.

Caution Take care when entering the name of a database in the Admin logon window.
Entering the name of a non-existent database starts the Admin database
tool. See
Creating a Multi-Media Database
Note Once you have set Admin to use a Multi-Media central database, the same
database is used every time that you log on.
Converting a Multi-Media Database from SQL to Access
A SQL server database can hold many more alarms than an MS-Access database. To
convert a SQL database to an Access format, Honeywell recommends removing alarm data
from the SQL database beforehand.
• View can be set to a different database while Admin is running, and vice versa.
• When switching to another Multi-Media database for use with View, a fresh local
Multi-Media database overwrites the local database used at the previous log on.
• Entering the name of a non-existent database in the View logon window is of little
consequence. Acknowledge the error message and enter the name again.
To switch to another
Multi-Media database,
change the central
database name.
