Matrix SETU ATA211 System Manual 135
PIN Authentication
SETU ATA211 supports PIN Authentication for outgoing calls from the FXS port and for incoming calls on the FXO
port and SIP trunks.
You may use PIN Authentication on the FXO port / the SIP trunks / FXS port to restrict access to SETU ATA211 to
specific callers.
The PIN Authentication feature works on the basis of the PIN Authentication Table, which you must configure.
When you enable PIN Authentication on the FXO port or the SIP trunk, for each incoming call,
• ATA211 will answer the call and play Prompt tone to the caller.
• the caller must dial the PIN.
• ATA211 matches the PIN dialed by the caller with the PIN Authentication Table.
• If a match is found the caller is authenticated and the caller can dial the number.
• If no match is found ATA211 will play error tone, followed by Prompt tone. The caller is allowed two more
attempts to dial the PIN. If PIN Authentication fails again ATA will disconnect the call.
This feature will work on the FXO port, only if Incoming Call Routing option is selected as:
• Answer the call, collect number & route as per incoming call route selection.
OR
• Route to FXS. If the call is not answered within ring timer, answer the call, collect number & route as
per incoming call route selection.
This feature will work on the SIP trunk, only if Incoming Call Routing option is selected as:
• Answer the call, collect number and route to FXS.
OR
• Answer the call, collect number and route to FXO.
When you enable PIN Authentication on the FXS port, for each number dialed:
• ATA211 plays Prompt tone to the user.
• the user must dial the PIN.
• ATA211 matches the PIN dialed by the user with the PIN Authentication Table.
• If a match is found the user is authenticated and user can dial the number.
• If no match is found ATA211will play error tone followed by Prompt tone. The user is allowed two more
attempts to dial the PIN. If PIN Authentication fails thrice ATA will not allow the user to dial any number.
