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
Last Valid Password, on p. 174.
• 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
Last Valid Password.
• Removing a system password from a single Multi-Media unit. This is useful when disposing of a
unit. See
Removing a System Password, on p. 169.
• Replacing a Multi-Media unit. Should you need to replace a unit with a factory-issued unit. See
Replacing a Unit, p. 172.
When adding a brand new Multi site to your Rapid Eye system, do not use
the “LVP" (last valid password) utility, even if you have set a system password.
The LVP utility is for dealing with used or replacement Multi-Media units, and for mistakenly
deleted site definitions, as explained in
Last Valid Password, on p. 174.
