Matrix SETU VFXTH System Manual
PIN Authentication
PIN Authentication is a necessary security feature to restrict access to the system and prevent possible misuse of
resources.
You can use PIN Authentication on the Source Port to establish the identity of callers before their call is processed
by SETU VFXTH.
PIN Authentication can be used on the Source Port only if the incoming call routing for the Source Port is set to
After Answering the Call and Collecting Digits
.
To be able to use PIN Authentication, this feature must be enabled on the Source Port and the PIN Authentication
table must be configured.
The PIN Authentication table stores up to 500 PIN Numbers and their corresponding authentication Passwords.
When you enable PIN Authentication on the Source Port, SETU VFXTH answers the incoming call on the port and
plays the prompt tone. It waits for the caller to dial the PIN Number and the Password. It collects the digits dialed by
the caller and matches them with the PIN Authentication table.
When a match is found in the table, SETU VFXTH authenticates the caller and allows the call to be processed.
If the digits dialed by the caller do not match with any entry in this table, SETU VFXTH allows the caller to
make two more attempts to dial a valid PIN Number and Password. If the caller fails to dial the correct PIN and
Password in all attempts, the system disconnects the call.
