The VES-A00-P has two levels of protection against unauthorized access. For connection via Ethernet or
WiFi, a password of at least 8 characters must be used. After connection, a four digit PIN is used to control
the access level.

The default PIN for each level of user is set at the factory. The distributor has access to the PINs for each
level. PIN numbers are disclosed to authorized personnel attending accredited training courses.

someone enters an incorrect PIN number three times they will not be allowed another attempt for ten minutes.
