Figure 10-2 Securing a Unit
After Setting the System Password
Even Multi technical support cannot access Multi-Media units from a LAN once your system
password has been changed.
Caution Do not use multiple Multi databases.
Using multiple Multi Dbs with different system passwords on the same Multi system is
confusing and prone to operator error. A forgotten system password can prevent access to
a unit even by Multi technical support. Please manage your system password with care. For
Admin's report on the status of your system password, see
Always Update Security on All Units
When the system password is changed, perform a
security on each of the units in your Rapid Eye system. This prevents confusion and access
problems. For example, when touring many sites, the sites with a system password that
differs from the current system password will be skipped over.
Caution Do not leave an older system password on a Rapid Eye site record or unit,
in your CCTV system.
Extra Steps in Some System Password Scenarios
After your system is secured with a system password, a Multi SA may need to perform a few
extra steps when faced with these tasks:
• Mistakenly deleting a site definition. To re-enter it, see
• Adding a used Multi-Media unit. If you obtain a unit from another organization, and it
is protected by that organization's system password. See
page 192.
• Removing a system password from a single Multi-Media unit. This is useful when
disposing of a unit. See
• Replacing a Multi-Media unit. Should you need to replace a unit with a factory-issued
unit. See Replacing a Unit
