Security for a Multi-Media System
Security Overview
These guidelines are suggestions to complement your organization’s security policies
and procedures. Most are optional in low-security environments.
The security features of Multi can be applied to very different areas of security:
• Securing the system includes using passwords, designating as few Multi SAs as
possible, and so on. This type of security starts in
Securing the Multi System .
• Using a Multi system as a security device. This includes setting up alarms that are
triggered by an Outside World event. See
Events Defined on page 205 .
• Hybrid use. Multi can be used as a security device to supervise users. See Tracing
Events on page 210 , and Denying Access on page 213 .
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. Security
officers in your organization can help define how open or secure the Multi system should
be.
Caution Even in minimal security environments, using passwords for system
access and for the default Administrator account are highly
recommended by Honeywell. See
System Password on page 184 , and
Administrator Password on page 195 .
