Personal Identification Number (PIN)
Standard For optimum security, access cards can be encoded to require the entry of a PIN
number. PINs are calculated uniquely for each system by using an algorithm, the
4-digit PIN key, and the CARD field. The user can proceed with the transaction
only if the number entered matches the PIN calculated by the system. The
system can be set up to automatically lock out the card after three consecutive
PIN entry errors.
CFN Network The CFN Network has a fixed PIN key (in the program) that cannot be changed.
The user cannot load a PIN key unless he has the dual system ID option. This
option provides a loadable PIN key and system ID in addition to the fixed ones.
Also, the CFN Network cannot set up the system to automatically lock out the
card after three unsuccessful PIN entries.
Display You can have the system calculate and display the PIN on the LCD display using
diagnostic test 0 and inserting the card for which the PIN is to be calculated.
"A" System PIN is not required on a Series 1000 matching an "A" System; however, if it is
used, it can be mandatory (specified at order time) or regulated by a check digit
on the optical card. If the PIN is mandatory, all card users must enter a PIN to
fuel; no check digit is required. PIN regulated by a check digit may be requested
on an individual basis by setting the check digit value on the card to 1=required. If
PIN is used, either the CFN or the "A" System algorithm must be specified as well
as the name of the field on which the PIN should be calculated.
Lockout
Standard The system operator can control access to the system by validating/invalidating
cards by number. This process is called lockout. Card numbers can be
validated/invalidated individually, in strings of up to 20 assorted card numbers, or
by ranges of consecutive card numbers. If desired, the system can lock out the
entire user file. Cards could also become invalid when a user tries to enter a PIN
number unsuccessfully three consecutive times. Optionally, you can order the
dual lockout feature. This enables you to specify another field, in addition to card
number, for lockout. See Optional System Features for details on dual lockout.
Validating a user’s card allows that user to access the system; invalidating a card
locks out that user from the system. Lockout for card systems can be negative,
where you validate all cards and invalidate individual cards, or positive, where you
invalidate all cards and validate individual cards.
CFN Network Lockout for cards in the Commercial Fueling Network is by 7-digit card number
only.
"A" System Lockout for Series 1000 systems matching "A" systems can be based on any field
of four digits or more. Name of lockout field must be specified at the time of
order. If lockout is on 5-digit field, it is bit-mapped lockout and the number of
10,000 lockout blocks must be specified at the time of order. If lockout is on a
field of 6 digits or more, it is limited lockout and the number of lockouts must be
specified at the time of order.
