Access Codes/PIN

 
Access codes (PIN):
All codes start with the * key and end with a # key. 
 
A code (PIN) number is an integer value.  That is, a whole number.  In our case, the code size can be any value greater than zero (0) and less than   2,147,483,647.
 
  • Are integer values.
  • Cannot be zero
  • Leading zeros do not count
  • Cannot be duplicates (leading zeros do not count)
  • **Cannot be greater than    2,147,483,647.
  • ** See Maximum PIN/Code Size **
     
There is no restriction on how many digits, other than stated above.
 
 
NRC Codes Vs. Tenant Codes:
It is a good idea to use different length codes for NRC and Tenants.  This will help prevent unintended duplication.  If all Tenants have 8 digit code, then make the NRC's have 6 digit.  If all Tenants have 6 digits, make NRC's have 8.
 
Length of Code:
The longer the code, the harder to randomly guess the code.  However, too long of a code can be difficult for some people.  Please judge the code length by your local demographics, and individual preferences.
