ACU-1000 Operations Manual
3-14 Interoperability Now
The ACU-1000 factory default for this feature is disabled. To enable System Reset capability,
use the HSP-2A to enter * 9 0 n n, where “n n” is any pair of digits other than 00. The feature
is then enabled, and “n n” is the system reset code. If a DSP-2, RDI-1, or PSTN-2 user (who is
currently connected to the system) enters the DTMF command * 9 0 n n, the system will be
reset. If * 9 0 and any digits other than the system reset code are entered, the system will not
be reset.
To disable this feature, enter * 9 0 0 0 at the HSP-2A front panel. To re-enable, once again
enter * 9 0 n n, where “n n” can be either the previous system reset code or an entirely new
code.
3.6.2 PIN Security
It’s possible to enable ACU-1000 access security features that require a correct PIN (Personal
Identification Number) to be entered before a user can make a connection and thereby gain
access to the system. This section explains the two different PIN security modes (Priority
Operation and Exclusive Operation) and lists how to set-up and use both of these modes.
3.6.2.1 How PIN Security Works
• When PIN numbers are enabled, the ACU-1000 extensions may be programmed for various
security levels, from 0 to 9. An extension set to security level 0 is available to all system
users, without regard to PIN numbers. The ACU-1000 will not ask the user to input a PIN
when a connection is requested to an extension set to security level 0.
• When PIN numbers are entered into the ACU-1000 database, they are assigned a security
level. This security level corresponds to the extension security levels and identifies which
extensions can be accessed via the PIN number.
• When a user tries to connect to a secure extension (an extension that has a security level
above 0) he will be prompted “ENTER ID”. The user must enter his PIN at this time. If the
security level of the PIN is not correct to provide access, the “SECURITY VIOLATION”
voice prompt will be heard, and the connection will not be made. If the security level is
correct, the connection will be allowed and the ACU-1000 will make the requested
connection; when successful, the normal prompt will be heard: “n CONNECTED”, where n
is the requested extension number.
3.6.2.2 PIN Security Modes
There are two modes of security operation, Priority and Exclusive. The two modes are
independent of each other; the ACU-1000 is in either the Priority mode, or the Exclusive mode.
It is not allowed to have some modules in the ACU-1000 set to Priority, and some set to
Exclusive.
3.6.2.2.1 Priority Operation Mode
Access is granted if the PIN security level is equal to or higher than the security level of the
extension. Higher security levels are more secure; a PIN at security level 6 can access any
extension set to level 6 and lower, but may not access extensions set at security levels 7, 8, or 9.
