The DV-1 is configured with three permission levels: User,
Supervisor, and Administrator. This enables departments to
control who can use the features, change the configurations, or
perform maintenance on the unit. See Permission Levels on page
17 for further details.
A Supervisor PIN number MUST be established before any
Supervisor settings or controls can be accessed. See Add
Supervisor PIN on page 89 for further details.
When an officer name is initially added to the system, they are
simply a User. The system requests a PIN number when the officer
is changed to a Supervisor.
Supervisor PIN numbers (passwords) can only be added, edited,
and deleted by someone with an Administrator PIN number. There is
only ONE Administrator PIN per agency.
Any Supervisor PIN number can be used to access restricted
screens regardless of the active officer name. There is no need to
change the active officer to the Supervisor name. This allows a
Supervisor to gain quick access to assist a non-Supervisor officer.
Some functions require a Supervisor PIN to access the selection.
Others may require an Administrator PIN. The steps for entering a
PIN number are the same in either case. The SUPERVISOR LOGIN
screen is used in the following example for simplicity purposes.
