System Password

Flexibility in security

Honeywell recommends you use a system password for units that use a dial-up connection or are on a public network.

On a private network, its use may be unnecessary. To find out about the security protocols in your organization, see your security personnel.

In a nutshell: keeping unauthorized users out

A system password blocks access to all (or optionally, some) of your sites from unauthorized users, external to your organization, who may have found out the dial-up number or IP address of a site, and who have access to Multi Admin and View software.

Authorized Operators do not have to remember the system password to use a Multi-Media unit. Only the Multi System Administrator needs to keep a record of it in case a unit is added or removed from your Multi system.
