Configuring the user PIN code

Configuring the user PIN code allows you to set its format and perform the necessary checks to increase the reliability and security of access.

To configure the user PIN code, do the following:

1. Go to the PIN tab on the settings panel of the Access Manager object.
   
   
2. From the PIN mask mode drop-down list, select the mask mode of the user PIN code:
   • Do not mask—PIN code isn’t masked with dots;
   • Mask view—PIN code is masked with dots when reading user data;
   • Mask always—PIN code is always masked with dots.
3. From the Input mode drop-down list, select the input mode of the user PIN code, further settings depend on it:
   1. Common—any variant of the PIN code is allowed. It is allowed to enter symbols, letters and numbers.
      If you select this mode, you can go to step 10 to apply the settings.
      

      Note

      All further settings are made for all modes except for the Common mode.

      
      
   2. 3 digits—PIN code must contain three digits.
   3. ...
   4. 9 digits—PIN code must contain nine digits.
   5. Range—PIN code is within the specified numeric range.
      
      
4. From the Leading zeros drop-down list, select the mode of setting zeros at the beginning of the PIN code:
   1. Ignore—leading zeros aren’t considered as characters.
   2. Required—leading zeros are considered as characters.
   3. Auto—leading zeros are entered automatically, completing the PIN code to the required number of characters.
5. To enable the required PIN checks, go to the corresponding Repeat, Mirror, Increment, Blacklist tab and set the Use checkbox.
6. To enable the check of the repeating characters, go to the Repeat tab.
   1. From the Permissible repeat count drop-down list, select the maximum number of allowed character repetitions in the PIN code. The range of values depends on the input mode selected in step 3.
   2. From the Minimal group length drop-down list, select the number of characters in the group to search for repetitions. The range of values depends on the input mode selected in step 3.

   3. Set the Do not check leading zeros checkbox to disregard leading zeros when searching for repetitions. By default, the checkbox is clear.

   4. Set the Check inside checkbox to search for repetitions in the entire PIN code. By default, the checkbox is clear.

7. To enable the check of the repeating characters in the mirror image, go to the Mirror tab.
   
   

   1. From the Minimal side length drop-down list, select the number of characters in the group to search for repetitions in the mirror image. The range of values depends on the input mode selected in step 3.

   2. Set the Do not check leading zeros checkbox to disregard leading zeros when searching for repetitions in the mirror image. By default, the checkbox is clear.

   3. Set the Check inside checkbox to search for repetitions in the entire PIN code in the mirror image. By default, the checkbox is clear.

8. To enable the check of increasing and decreasing character sequences in the PIN code, go to the Increment tab.
   
   
   1. From the Permissible ‘stair’ length drop-down list, select the number of characters in increasing/decreasing order from which the search will be performed. The range of values depends on the input mode selected in step 3.
   2. From the Checking mode drop-down list, select the type of check:
      1. Both—sequences of characters are checked in increasing (increment) and decreasing (decrement) order.
      2. Increment—sequences of characters are checked in increasing order.
      3. Decrement—sequences of characters are checked in decreasing order.

   3. Set the Do not check leading zeros checkbox to disregard leading zeros when searching for sequences of characters in increasing and decreasing order. By default, the checkbox is clear.

   4. Set the Check inside checkbox to search for sequences of characters in increasing and decreasing order in the entire PIN code. By default, the checkbox is clear.
9. To enable the search for certain PIN codes, go to the Blacklist tab.
   
   
   1. To add a PIN code to the blacklist, click the button. The Add PIN code window will open.
      
       
      1. Enter the required PIN code in the blank field.
      2. Click the Confirm button. As a result, the specified PIN code will be added to the list of prohibited PIN codes.
         
         

         Note

         To remove the PIN code from the blacklist, click the button.

         
         
10. Click the Apply button to save the settings.

Configuring the user PIN code is complete.
