2.16.3.5 PIN Numbers
This command configures PIN operation for the ACU-1000. PIN numbers (Personal
Identification Numbers) are used to control access to the ACU-1000 network, See Section 3.6.2
for full details. Enable PIN numbers in the Priority Mode by entering * 2 9 1, or in the
Exclusive Mode by entering * 2 9 2. To Disable PIN numbers enter * 2 9 0. When either PIN
mode is enabled, users attempting to access the system will be prompted by the ACU-1000 to
enter their PIN. When in the Priority PIN Mode the user’s password security level must be
equal to or higher than the security level of the module to gain access. Exclusive PIN Mode
operation requires the user’s password security level is identical to the security level of the
extension the user is attempting to access. Extension security levels are set for all types of
interface modules using the * 3 2 n configuration item. Instructions included with each
module’s list of configuration items.
2.16.3.6 Program PIN Numbers
The security level of each PIN is entered into the ACU-1000 database by this command. Up to
20 different PIN numbers may be entered. To enter a PIN into the database and/or set the level
for the PIN, enter * 3 0 n n n n x, where n n n n is the four digit PIN and x is the security level
to be associated with this PIN. There are 9 available security levels, ranging from 1 = least
secure to 9 = most secure. The security level “0” is essentially meaningless as an extension set
to security level 0 does not require a PIN to gain access. PIN programming is a global
command, meaning it’s not necessary to select a module to program when entering PIN
numbers or setting PIN security levels.
2.16.3.7 Delete PIN Numbers
To delete a particular PIN, enter * 3 1 n n n n, where n n n n is the four digit PIN. This is a
global command. Note it is not necessary to input the security level when deleting a PIN.
2.16.3.8 Module Security Level Selection
This command sets a module’s security level. Enter * 3 2 n, where n is the security level, with
0 = not secure (no PIN required), 1 = least secure, up to 9 = most secure. This is not a global
command, each module’s security level must be separately set. To set the security level for a
particular module, first use the “Select Module to Program” command.
