Caution Honeywell does not recommend using multiple databases, even if they are
set to the same system passwords.
Compromising and Locking-Out a Multi SA
The locking out of authorized, legitimate users from the Multi-Media units on your Rapid Eye
system, including the Multi SA, is a worst-case scenario for high-security organizations.
Many steps are needed to do so (obtaining copies of Admin and View software, creating
another database, and having knowledge of your system password). Even access to your
Multi Central database, knowledge of Admin and of the Administrator account's password
could allow a malevolent user to change passwords for the Administrator's account (and to
the system), then update security on units, and locking everyone out. Circulating
passwords only to the users that need them and utilizing access control are your best
assets to combat this type of security breach.
Countermeasures. If ever such a breach occurs, contact Multi technical support for help,
as explained in For Questions
LocalView
Another type of security breach can occur through LocalView, which can be used to change
a unit's LAN communication settings.
