Last Valid Password

Tip
The scenarios described below are exceptional; they only apply when dealing with re-entry
of information in a site definition for used units.
Last valid system password
When your Multi-Media system administrator (Multi SA) adds a site definition, the "last valid
password" (LVP) entry for that site remains blank in your Multi central database (Multi db). When a
system password is added, this database entry is updated along with the unit. There are situations
where a discrepancy can occur between the system password held by a unit and the system
password entry in the Multi db. An LVP utility is available to resolve the discrepancy.
The LVP utility may need to be used if you:
Obtain a "used" unit, from another organization's Multi system. A Multi-Media unit may still be
protected by a system password. You may need to contact the other organization's Multi SA.
- or -
Delete a site definition, by mistake. When a system password is in use and a site is deleted by
mistake, you need a few extra steps to re-enter the site definition, as a system password is in
use on the unit.
Note
Entering a site definition for an "other" unit
If you have obtained a unit from another user and you suspect that the system password on that
unit was not removed, use the next procedure.

If a site definition is deleted by mistake, but no system password has been set, you
can disregard using the LVP when re-entering the site. See Adding a Site, p. 23.
