Using a PIN Code
The PIN (Personal Identification Number) code prevents unauthorized personnel
from making calls. To protect privileged access to the telephone lines, only
authorized users are entrusted with the PIN codes for daily operations. Some PBX
(Private Branch eXchange) systems require that a PIN code be entered when
dialing a number to make a call or send a document by fax. Depending on the
requirements of the PBX system, the PIN code may be entered either before the
number as a prefix, or after the number as a suffix.
NOTE
This mode is available only if the optional Super G3 FAX Board or Super G3 Multi-Line
Fax Board is installed.
Setting PIN Code Access
If your PBX requires a PIN Code to get an outside line, your machine can be set to
prompt the user to enter the PIN Code before dialing.
