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.
Tip
For secure installations, Honeywell recommends that only Multi SAs receive copies of
Admin software.
View operators should only receive copies of View.

Limit the distribution of Admin documentation.
Tip
As a security measure, only the Admin disc can be used to install the Admin user
documents.
When you use the View CD, only a Remote View Operator Guide is copied to the PC hard drive.
The guide is in Adobe Portable Document format (PDF). As an added security measure, no one
can run Admin or View documentation from the Rapid Eye Multi CDs; one needs to install Multi
software before the documentation is available.
