Access Control Function
To ensure and restrict the usage of funds and/or accounts, you can program the machine
system security to request a PIN code whenever a user starts a session.
The access control function has three PIN code functions you can implement:
• No PIN code: access to the machine is free, and no accounts can be set.
• System PIN code: this is shared. Users enter the same PIN code to gain access
to the machine. In this mode, no accounts can be activated, but they cannot be
protected individually.
• Operator PIN codes: there are one or several levels of PIN codes for 50 users to
5
access the machine. In this mode:
- Accounts are activated and can be assigned to the different operator PIN
codes.
- Users have to select an account when starting their work session (except
if one account only is active).
- Operators only use the accounts you, as supervisor, allow them to access.
