PIN Settings
The controllers operate in a number of different modes and can be changed without the need for a system reset.
The modes of operation are:
Card only
A valid card is required to open the door in this mode. The system supports
4,000 individual cardholders per i-PAL controller. See memory options for
larger cardholder capacities up to 64,000.
PIN only
A Personal Identification Number (PIN) only is required to open the door. This
can be an individual number per user or a number for a group of users. The
system supports 2,000 PIN only or 2,000 card and PIN users. In this mode, if
different PIN lengths are used per person, less than the maximum PIN length
set under “general settings” the number requires a # to complete the entry. If
the maximum length is set to four then only four digits have to be entered.
Card + PIN
A valid card must first be presented to the reader followed by the individual
PIN of the cardholder. In this mode the controller will know from the card what
the PIN length will be. Timeout indicates in seconds, the time required to
enter the PIN number before clearing the buffer or sending the data as invalid
or incomplete. A longer time might be required for elderly, disabled or specific
locations i.e. car parks.
High Security activates PIN
The system normally operates in card only mode and changes to card + PIN
when a High Security card is used four times at the reader. This is normally
used at the end of the day to increase security after normal office hours.
