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.

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.

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
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,
