Unit Configuration: Basics
Maintenance Session
Using View
View software is used to run a
Maintenance Session on a Rapid Eye Multi-Media unit, not Admin
software. The Maintenance Session is discussed in this System Administrator’s Guide because the
session is designed to be used by the system administrator (the Multi SA) designated by your
organization, to maintain and supervise your Rapid Eye System.
Using a Maintenance Session
The Maintenance Session is used to configure:
• System hardware.
Cameras, Multi Audio, motion detection, scheduling, and other hardware
connected to the unit.
• Security.
Events Defined that trigger alarms and other security settings. See also Updating
Security on a Multi-Media Unit, on p.
131.
Scope of a Maintenance Session
A Maintenance Session involves only the unit on which it runs. You can use View software to open
a Maintenance Session on more than one unit at a time. Two operators cannot each run a
Maintenance Session on the same unit. While a Maintenance Session runs, the unit’s LocalView
interface continues to display video but is unavailable for unit operation.
A Maintenance Session is also used to:
• Make a site operational. Running a Maintenance Session is needed before operators can start
using a Multi-Media site; see
Making a Site Operational, p. 55.
• Obtain a unit’s statistics. See
Hardware Report, p. 140 and To Obtain a Unit’s Statistics, p. 128.
