Set a PIN security code

3. Enter the number of seconds before the screen automatically shuts off in the Timeout field. A value of 0

keeps the screen on at all times when the system is on.

4. Click Apply.

Set a PIN security code

You can set a PIN code to protect the Pearl device screen from unauthorized access. By default, the PIN is not
set.

If a PIN is configured, users are prompted to enter the PIN code whenever:

l

You power on or restart the Pearl device.

l

The Pearl device recovers from timeout mode, see

Set the Pearl device screen timeout

.

If you set a PIN when the start screen is in locked mode, a lock appears in the top right of the start screen. You
must enter the PIN to unlock the start screen, access other screens, and use the Record and Stream Control
keys to start and/or stop recording or streaming. When you return to the Single Touch control or CMS start
screen, the Pearl device automatically locks itself and you must re-enter the PIN to unlock the screen.

If no PIN is set when the start screen is in locked mode, you can access the configured start screen right away.
Anyone can quickly start/stop streaming and recording if the Single Touch control start screen is configured, or
start/stop an event if the start screen is configured for Content Management System (CMS). However, no other
screens are accessible using the Pearl device screen.

Set a device screen PIN security code using the Admin panel

1. Log in to the Admin panel as admin, see

2. From the Configuration menu, select Touch Screen (Front screen for Pearl Nano) . The Touch

screen/Front screen configuration page opens.

3. Enter a 4 to 12-digit PIN code in the PIN field, then click Apply. The Pearl Nano can only accept 4 digits.

Record the PIN code in a safe location for future reference. You need this PIN to access the
Pearl device screen.
