20 Universal Cellular Communicator
Access levels
This paragraph describes how to access the communicators functions, according to EN50136 standard.
If the EN50136 option is enabled (factory default; see “Options” on page 41), the communicator can handle all four levels of user
access to its functions. The access levels are as follows.
Level 1: access to function display, indications (LEDs used to report faults, GSM and PSTN status) and messages
(SMS, voice, etc.) available to all users without PIN; this level does not allow any programming.
Level 2 (normal user): access to communicator status information (e.g. use of the Console to display the status page,
programming options and events buffer). This level requires a PIN. Factory setting: 000000.
Level 3 (installer): access to configuration functions including addition, removal and replacement of components and other
operations which directly or indirectly affect the communicator's functions (e.g. upload/download programming options with
the Console, display Status page and events buffer). This level requires a PIN. Factory setting: 111111.
If the EN50136 option is enabled, the installer must be authorised by the normal user.
Level 4 (level 4 installer): access to firmware updates and Status page display. This level requires a PIN.
Factory setting: 222222.
The level 4 installer must be authorised by the installer.
To ensure compliance with EN 50136-2: 2013, the PINs for access to levels 2, 3 and 4 are 6 digit numbers.
