Security for a Multi-Media System

PPP Connectivity

Tip

Only in some dial-up connections are Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) user names and passwords used.

This procedure might not apply to your Multi system.

Purpose

PPP(Point-to-Point Protocol) Dial-up Networking user names and passwords are used for some dial-up connections. The PPP username and password for an alarm station usually differs from the PPP username and password needed to access a RAS server.

•Multi SA includes RAS server in connection definition.

-See RAS Server, p. 44.

-See also Dial-up Technical Note, p. 33.

•Operator to RAS server “in front ” of one or more Multi-Media units. Use of connection accessing a RAS server, before using View is illustrated in sections:

-Using a RAS Server before Connecting to a Unit, on p. 47.

-See also Dial-up Technical Note, p. 33.

•Unit connecting by dial-up to alarm station’s modem. To automate the process of a Rapid Eye Multi-Media unit sending alarms to View over telephone lines, use Admin to enter the PPP user name and password for a PC, in the definition of an alarm station. Dial-up Connection to an Alarm Station on p. 208.

•Unit connecting by dial-up to RAS server “in front” of a Multi-Media alarm station. Use of an alarm callback that includes a RAS server is illustrated in:

RAS Connection to an Alarm Station, p. 216.

Denying Access

Rogue user scenarios

There may be situations when a specific account user must be

quickly denied access to a Rapid Eye site (for disciplinary reasons, termination, and so on). If your Multi system is accessed using

a laptop, or by many PCs on your network, it could be inconvenient to physically prevent a rogue user from using Multi software.

Best solution

The best solution is to “Deny access to sites…” in the account, as explained in Denying Access. This is quicker than deleting the rogue account and more effective than changing the account’s password.

Stopping a user in session

On networked units, you can end a rogue user's use of sessions (maintenance, live video, and so on) by using Admin and View in combination. See the next section, To Stop a Session on a Networked Multi-Media Unit
