Stopping sessions on units that use modems
Multi sessions on a Multi-Media unit that is solely accessible by dial-up, cannot be interrupted
other than by physically intervening. You must either apprehend the user or unplug the phone line
connected to the Multi-Media unit’s modem. For high security needs, a remotely controlled,
telephone-line switch can be used.
Dealing with an open Maintenance Session
These solutions require running a Maintenance Session. If the user has left a Maintenance Session
open on a station, a Multi SA’s efforts to rectify the situation are hampered. When creating
accounts, you can plan to limit the amount of time that sites can be used by a user account. See
Right to Access a Site, p. 182.
Outside hackers
To prevent someone who has a copy of Multi software outside of your organization, from
accessing your Rapid Eye sites: change your system password, as explained in
System
Password, on p.
166.
