Access To The System; Access Codes; Proximity Tags - Eaton i-on16 Administrator's And User Manual

i-on16 1. Introduction
looking at the log. If the user does not have a name, then the keypad
shows the user number instead.
There are also some "special" users with numbers above 16 – see page
49.
Note that the User number is not the same as the access code, see below.

Access to the System

To operate the system a user must identify themselves, either by entering
an access code on the keypad or by presenting a proximity tag to the front
of the keypad (see page 9).
Access code and proximity tag act as unique identifiers for each user, and
may be used interchangeably at any time.

Access Codes

Access codes are four digits long, providing a total of 10,000 different
codes, running from "0000" to "9999". When delivered from the factory the
control unit recognises just one user, and this user has Master User
privileges (see page 8).
The Master User's default access code is "1234". By default the Master
User does not have any tag or other device registered to their account.
Eaton's Security Business recommends that you change the default
access code as soon as possible (see page 34).
Codes 0000 to 9999 are available but Eaton's Security Business
recommends that you avoid easily memorised codes such a 0000, 9999 or
4321.
The installer has their own access code which they cannot use to set or
unset the alarm system. Neither can they use that code to change details of
other users registered to the system. Similarly, the Master User code has
no access to any installer programming menus.

Proximity Tags

A proximity tag is a small plastic token with a low powered radio transmitter
inside. Each tag contains a unique identity code. (There are 4,294,967,296
32
(2 ) different tag identity codes.) Inside the keypad is a sensor. When you
present the tag within about 10mm of the front of the keypad, the control
unit senses the presence of the tag and reads its identity code.
