Securing a Site
Securing the Multi system
After
Making a Site Operational (see p. 55), Honeywell recommends that you secure your Rapid
Eye site by adding:
• A system password. Use Admin to set a system password to protect your sites from
unauthorized accounts. See
System Password, on p. 166.
- and -
• A password for the “Administrator” account. To help prevent: (a) an uncontrolled configuration
of Multi-Media units; (b) the accidental clearing of a unit’s storage or (c) unwanted removal of
the system password. See
Administrator Password, on p. 176
Then update security, as explained in Updating Security on a Multi-Media Unit, on p. 131.
Rebooting a Unit
1. Start a Maintenance Session for the Rapid Eye site. Please wait until the “System
operational” message appears.
2. Click Reboot.
Lack of reasons to reboot a Multi-Media unit
Use of the Reboot button does not damage the unit. It does however interrupt the recording of
video for a few moments and should best be left alone, unless
Multi technical support instructs an
operator to click it. A reboot can be traced to the operator who performed it. See Tracing Events
on p.
191.
The button is for rebooting a Multi-Media unit. Do not mistakenly reboot your PC when
called to “click the Reboot button in the Maintenance window”.
Automatic reboot of Multi-Media unit
A Multi-Media unit reboots by itself when:
• Changes to a modem serial device are applied. Modem settings are explained in section
Serial
Device: Modem, on p.
138
• System files are upgraded; as explained in
System Files, p. 132.
- and -
• Power to the unit is interrupted and restored.
