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