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.
