Security for a Multi-Media System

Security Options

Flexibility in security

These guidelines are suggestions to complement your organization’s security policies and procedures. Most are optional in low-security environments.

Security outlook

The security features of Multi can be applied to very different areas of security:

•Securing the Multi system. Includes passwords, designating as few Multi SAs as possible, and so on. Use of Multi for this type of security starts in Securing the Multi System.

•Using a Multi system as a security device. Includes setting up alarms that are triggered by an Outside World event. See Events Defined, p. 187.

•Hybrid use. Multi can be used as a security device to supervise users. See Tracing Events, p. 191 and Denying Access, p. 196.

Securing the Multi System

What level of security is needed?

Multi can be used effectively in high and low security situations. Use of security features is optional, making the system a flexible tool in many security environments. Officers in your organization can help define how open or secure the Multi system should be.

Even in minimal security environments, using passwords for the system and for the default “Administrator” account are highly recommended by Honeywell. See System Password, on p. 166, and Administrator Password, on p. 176.
