SPC Manager

The SPC manager mode setting determines the number of digits for user PINs and therefore the number of available PINs on a global system controlled by SPC Manager.

Mode41: 4-digit PIN enables 1,000 global users

Mode51: 5-digit PIN enables 10,000 global users

Mode61: 6-digit PIN enables 100,000 global users

Mode71: 7-digit PIN enables 1000,000 global users

Mode81: 8-digit PIN enables 10,000,000 global users

When you set an SPC Manager mode, additional zeros are added to the front of existing 4 or 5 digits user PINs which modify the PIN for global use. For example, if Mode71: 7-PIN Digit is selected, 3 zeros are added to existing 4 digit PINs – 2222 will become 0002222.

To set the SPC Manager Mode:

1. Select Communications > PC Tools > SPC Manager.

2. Select the SPC Manager global user mode from the drop down list.

3. Click the Save button.

   The mode cannot be saved if a conflict exists between a local existing user PIN and another user PIN on the global system. An ‘Invalid PIN’ error is displayed.

4. Click the appropriate button to delete the PIN and save the new mode or change the PIN to the randomly generated new PIN displayed and then save the new mode.
