Use only the View CD to install Multi 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
Remote View Operator
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.
Like most Multi-Media security features, use of passwords is optional. Honeywell
recommends using and changing the system password and the password of the default
Administrator account, even in minimal security environments. See
page 184, and Administrator Password
Access to the Multi system is obtained through user accounts. The Administrator account
is the key account of the system. Administrator access should be carefully guarded. Using
passwords counteracts unauthorized access to the Multi-Media units.
System password A System password is applied to all of the units in your organization.
The system password is not used by users. It counters access by unauthorized users, such
as those of another Multi-Media system. Make a record of the System password in case
Multi technical support is needed for a Multi-Media unit. Honeywell recommends that your
Multi SA use a system password (see
