PIN

PIN (Personal Identification Number) is a 4 to 10 digit number given to, or
selected by, a user. It is necessary to enter a PIN on an Advisor keypad as a
prerequisite to perform most Advisor Advanced options. In the Advisor Advanced
configuration the PIN is associated with a user, which identifies the PIN holder to
the system.
The PINs policy in the Advisor Advanced system can be configured in one of the
following ways:
 PINs are generated by the system. The user can request a new PIN
generation.
A PIN is generated by selecting Yes and pressing Enter in this menu. The
generated PIN is shown until Enter is pressed again.
 PINs are entered manually.
Pressing Enter lets you enter or edit the PIN of the selected user.
The PIN change mode can be set in menu "8.7.5 PIN chg mode" (see page 250).
PIN length is programmed using "8.7.4 PIN length" on page 250. The number of
available PINs varies from 10000 (for 4-digit PINs) to 10000000000 (for 10-digit
PINs).
No PINs are reserved for system use. Any PIN can be generated or entered for
use. PINs must be unique. A PIN cannot be assigned to more than one user. The
system will not generate or accept entry of PINs already in use.
The selected user PIN can be changed in "3.1.n.2 PIN" on page 162 if the user
data is not locked. See "User data lock" on page 61 for more information.
