Security for a Multi-Media System
Stopping Sessions on Units that Use Modems
Multi sessions on a Multi-Media unit that is only accessible by dial-up, cannot be interrupted
in any way other than physically intervening. You must either apprehend the user or unplug
the phone line that connects to the Multi-Media unit’s modem. For high security needs, a
remotely controlled telephone line switch can be used.
Dealing with an Open Maintenance Session
These solutions require running a Maintenance Session . If the user has left a Maintenance
Session open on a station, a Multi SA’s efforts to rectify the situation are hampered. When
creating accounts, you can plan to limit the amount of time that sites can be used by a user
account. See
Right to Access a Site on page 200 for more information.
Outside Hackers
To prevent someone who has a copy of Multi software outside of your organization from
accessing your sites, change your system password (see
System Password on page 184 ).
Denying Access to a User of Your Multi System
Caution Honeywell recommends the following procedure as the only expedient
way to deny access to a user.
Figure 10-14 Denying Access and Updating Security for Sites
When this option is checked,
this user cannot access any
sites. Update security on each
unit after selecting this option.
