Configuring the PIN Settings

Using a PIN code prevents unauthorized usage of the tool or accidental changes. Multiple users can be added to the tool, each with its own PIN. Note that PIN codes are not linked to tool configurations but are used mainly for logging reasons.

The PIN must be a four-digit number in the range 0000–9999. When PIN is enabled, and the configured inactivity time has been reached, the tool configuration cannot edited. A maximum of 10 users can be added to the tool.

When changes are made to the PIN, the user that made the changes is logged. This will be displayed in the column Changed by, and added to the change history.

When PIN is activated a PIN code is required when accessing the tool from the web user interface. Without the correct PIN being entered, the user interface will only be readable, but not editable.

Activate the PIN
  1. Go to the Settings in the home menu and select PIN in the left pane. Select Configure.

  2. Set the PIN code switch to On.

    The PIN can only be activated when at least one user in the list is enabled. If no user is enabled, a warning will appear.

  3. Fill out the Inactivity timeout (in seconds) to set when the tool will be locked in case of inactivity.

    The default value for Inactivity timeout is 120 seconds. Note that this is a global setting, and cannot be set on a per user basis.
