PINs (User)

Description:

A Personal Identification Number (PIN) allows a user to access features that require a PIN, for example, to log into a set such as a hot desk user or generic SIP user. It can also be used to de-activate the Phone Lock feature.

Users will have one generic PIN that can be used for any required features.

The User PIN can be configured from the Desktop, Group Administration, and System Administration tools within ESM as well as from the set (if applicable). It can be set or changed from the following forms, depending on the set type:

The User PIN initially has a zero length, allowing a user to access features using a blank PIN. All three ESM tools also allow a PIN to be set to a zero length. Setting the User PIN on the set requires the PIN to have at least one digit. See the procedure below for changing a User PIN.
