Before you can check for video, a record of a Rapid Eye site and connection is made,
using Admin. A site is a term used for a unit, with its cameras or other hardware.

Creating an empty Multi db
For installation purposes, you have the option of creating an empty db on the fly, as you log on to
Admin. A Microsoft Access software template is used. You do not need a copy of Access installed
on the PC to use this feature; everything you need is included with your copy of Rapid Eye Multi
software. Only one Multi database (Multi db) is needed for many sites.
You do not need to create a db each time that you log on.
Choose a name for your Multi db that avoids:
(a) a name that you will need for a user of that Multi db; or
(b) “Administrator”. It is the name of the default user in any Multi db. A Multi db with the
same name as a user account causes an error when View is started.
Upgrading a Multi database
You can use a populated SQL or MS-Access db for testing an installation. Microsoft
Access-based Multi databases, created using an older version, are upgraded on the fly;
one prompt at logon and conversion is automatic. For specifics, see the Multi: Software
Installation Instructions and the Multi: Admin User Guide.
3.2.1 Running Admin
Logging on to Admin
Three pieces of information are needed:
• user account. Use the “Administrator” account. It has the right to use all of the
functions in Admin and View. It also has access to every Rapid Eye site in your
system.
• password. By default, there is no password for the Administrator account. You
can add a password after testing is complete. Account and system passwords
are explained and discussed in the Admin User Guide.

• database. For testing, you can obtain an empty database as explained below,
in section 3.2.2.
