Muratec MFX-1300/1700 manual Masking the PIN

Masking the PIN

To prevent unauthorized long-distance calls, some office telephone systems require you to enter a personal identification number (PIN)whenever you dial long distance.

Your fax s PIN mask feature helps you keep that PIN number private. Withthe PIN mask activated, you can dial a fax number plus a PIN, butthe PIN will not appear in a journal, error message printout, delayed command list or a TCR.The PIN may be up to eight characters in length. It also can include the *or # symbols, and it can be entered from the numeric keypad.

There are three possible settings for the PIN mask:

Off Turns offthe PIN mask feature. Any PIN you enter will appear on any display or printout which shows the number you dial.

Mode 1 Each remote fax unit has a departmental PIN access code.

Mode 2 Each fax user has a departmental PIN access code.

Note: If you select Mode 1 and you will use a one-touch or speed-dial number, you must store the remote unit s PIN access code within that number. However,if you select Mode 2, this isn t necessary. (See Autodialing while using the PIN mask, next column for further details.)

Note: If you select either Mode 1 or Mode 2 and will be using batch transmission (see pages 3.11 3.13), you must store the PIN access code for the remote unit within the appropriate batch box.
