Pin Code access

In some Vocia systems, it is desirable to password-protect a paging station to prevent pages from unauthorized users.  This article explains how to use Pin Groups to require a Pin Code to access paging functions. Pin Groups can be assigned to the following Vocia devices:

  • DS-4
  • DS-10
  • WS-4
  • WS-10
  • EWS-4
  • EWS-10
  • MS-1 VoIP interface

Limitations

  1. Pin Groups are specified at the Vocia Universe level.
  2. One or more Pin Groups can be allocated to a paging station or MS-1 VoIP Extension.
  3. When a paging station is unlocked with any Pin Group, the user will have access to all Page Codes assigned to that station.
  4. The same Pin Group can be assigned to one or more Paging Stations or MS-1 VoiP interfaces.

Create Pin Group

The first step in assigning Pin Codes is to create all of the Pin Groups that are required for the Vocia universe.

  • It is possible to have more than one pin code assigned to one paging station.

If the Pin Codes will be used to authenticate VoIP phone pages, follow the steps below:

  • Confirm the MS-1 VoIP functions are enabled:
