PIN1 is used for identification by manual dialing (mobile users).

Use:

Users can "identify" themselves to the system at a "foreign" station by dialing a secret PIN, which does not appear on the display when dialed. This enables them to use the class-of-service (COS1) and key functions of their "home" station. The PIN is active for a specific, configurable time. The PIN and the call number of the user's home station are entered in the call data recording records as the chargee for any calls made. Users can deactivate their PIN1 before the timer runs out via a corresponding delete procedure.

PIN2 is used for the identification of business calls, and remains active until deleted manually.

Use:

Following input, the PIN is permanently activated. The PIN can be deactivated via a delete procedure.

PIN3 is used for the identification of a single business call.

Use:

The PIN is only active for the duration of the call. At the end of this period the station reverts automatically to its operating state prior to input of the PIN3. If, for example, a PIN2 was active before the PIN3 was input, then the former becomes active again as soon as the PIN3 call has been terminated!

PIN4 is used for the identification of a single private call.

Use:

The PIN is only active for the duration of a call. At the end of this period the station reverts automatically to its operating state prior to input of the PIN4. This is an effective means of distinguishing business calls from private calls in the call data recording records.

PIN5 is used for the identification of a project-specific call (project code=PCODE).

Use:

The project code is a digit sequence which is assigned to a project, object, etc. It is used for allocating costs, e.g. telephone charges, to a specific project. Unlike the personal identification number (PIN), the project code (PCODE) is not assigned to a specific user. The classes of service (COS1) and features of the station at which the PCODE was entered are available to the caller. The PCODE can be checked for validity (see also Section 132.14.10, "Verifying the PIN/PCODE"). It is not secret and concealed input is not necessary. Input errors are indicated on terminals with displays.

PINC is used for identification by means of a magnetic card or chip card which is inserted in the identity card reader at the terminal.

Use:

Users identify themselves by inserting/removing a chip card. The identity card has priority over PIN1.

V2.0 and higher supports the application-based use of smart cards (see Chapter 138, "Smart Card Application").

COSXCD is used for identification purposes in connection with the activation of class of service changeover from the terminal.

Use:

Class of service changeover from COS 1 to COS 2 and vice versa can be performed with the aid of the PIN. It is possible to configure whether changeover to COS 2 is to take place with or without prior input of the PIN.

The service identifier (SI) is used by service personnel as a top-priority PIN for "registering" or canceling a user at a terminal (see also Section 132.11, "Service Identifier" on "Autoset Relocate" feature).

The "Account Code" feature allows individual incoming and outgoing calls to be assigned an account number or, consecutively, with several account codes which are displayed in the call data recording records (see also the chapter on call data recording).

A PIN code is demanded for certain voice numbers configured in the LCR Dialplan for calls to the public network or on tie line circuits dialed during an initial call, a consultation call or when performing call forwarding. A typical application case is, for example, on a campus, where users have to identify themselves via PIN on generally accessible phones for the purposes of call charging.

PIN11 to PIN15 are predefined as per PIN1 and can be configured and used like PIN1.
