The scenarios described below are exceptions. 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 when 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 these discrepancies.
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.
• 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 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
Site on page 35.
