Security for a Multi-Media System

System Password

Flexibility in security
Use a system password for units that use a dial-up connection or are on a public network.
On a private network, its use may be unnecessary, depending on the security protocols in your
organization; see your security personnel.
In a nutshell: keeping unauthorized users out
A system password blocks access to all (or optionally, some) of your sites from unauthorized
users, external to your organization, who may have found out the dial-up number or IP address of
a site, and who have access to Multi Admin and View software.
Authorized Operators do not have to remember the system password to use a Multi-Media unit.
Only the Multi System Administrator needs to keep a record of it in case a unit is added or
removed from your Multi system.

Road Map to Setting the System Password

Setting (or changing) the system password requires four procedures:
Use Admin to set a system password in the Multi Central database.
Use View to run a
Security tab. This copies the system password to the unit. See figure 10–3, below. Repeat this
for each unit.
The password is copied to the local database of View operators as they log on, when they are
connected to the Multi Central database. On systems in session 24/7, or for operators who run
View on standalone PCs, communicate that a system password has been added, so that View
operators can refresh their local database. See
