Issue
How many digits can the PIN number be when using card + PIN entry?
Also how can it be viewed as it is displayed as stars in the Personnel Manager?
Environment
Access Controllers
Card + PIN entry or exit
Display PIN number
Cause
Leading zeros on a PIN number are not saved and how long can the number be?
Also as the number is shown as * characters how can the number be seen?
Resolution
The PIN number for a personnel object can be in the range: 0 to 4,294,967,295 inclusive for the NC2 (9680) and ACX2 (ACX5720/40). For all other older controllers the PIN range is 0-65535
You are not allowed leading 0’s in a PIN number, they will be removed.
i.e. 0010 will save as 10
0000 will save as 0
To view a persons PIN number, use the "Command Line" application and from the folder where the personnel are stored enter:
P PersonName PIN
This will print the value of the PIN attribute for the person named "PersonName".
