Alarmware PIN Settings

To access the dialog box for this setting, have no RTU selected and select Options from the top menu.  From there select Alarmware™ PIN:

 

 

If PIN protection for a given RTU is made active by configuration of one or more PINs (in the dialog box under Configuration | PINs) the RTU will require entry of a valid PIN (with at least "Program" privilege level) before allowing connection to the RTU via Alarmware™. 

 

Once such PINs are configured, you may then enter into the Alarmware™ PIN dialog box any one of the pre-configured PINs that have been configured with a privilege level of "Program" or "Administration".  If you have checked the box marked "save PIN for future use", then Alarmware™ will cause this PIN to be issued automatically upon connection with the RTU in subsequent sessions, relieving the Alarmware™ operator the step of entering their PIN.

 

 

Note: If you want to assure that specific individuals are always uniquely identified in log reports for connections and configurations, you should not establish a retained Alarmware™ PIN.  For additional information on PINs including individual personnel PINs, See "PINs (Personal Identification Numbers)".
