4. Key the same PIN once again.
The PIN you type must be exactly the same as in step 3. If it is then
the green LED on the PINpad goes off. If it isn’t then you have to start
again.
5. To test that the system has learnt your PIN: present the Card
again, wait for the green light on the PINpad to illuminate,
then key in your PIN. The door should unlock.
Your PIN is now set to the number you typed at steps 2 and 3. If you
forget your PIN then you must tell the system administrator who can
set the Software so you can key in a new one again.
Duress PIN
If you are in a situation where, maybe, you are being forced to enter a
door by an intruder, you can type in your duress PIN. This does not
do anything abnormal at the door, so the intruder is not alerted, but
the system generates an alarm which is sent to the computer. Anyone
monitoring the system can see the alarm and act upon it.
The duress PIN is your own PIN + 1 with no carry over from the last
digit.
For example, if your PIN is 1234 then your duress PIN is 1235. If
your PIN is 1239 then your duress PIN is 1230. If your PIN is 9999
then your duress PIN is 9990.
Activating a trigger event under PIN control
You can configure a trigger event to be under PIN control. The PIN is
a special one, not particular to each individual, but chosen by the
system administrator. The source of the trigger event can either be an
ON entry of the PIN, or an OFF entry of the PIN, so you could have
two trigger events, one configured to switch something on, the other
configured to switch something off, both of which operations are
controlled by the same PIN.
1. To activate an ON trigger event, present a valid Card, press the
✱
key, then key in the PIN, then press the
✱
key again.
2. To activate an OFF trigger event, present a valid Card, press
the
✱
key, then key in the PIN, then press the # key.
