Insite Cascading PIN Numbers

The new Insite touch screen offers a very useful and customized portal into CueServers lighting control system. In some cases, you might need to control such unfettered access to some aspects of your system.
It's for this reason that security is so important in many situations when dealing with lighting. The new Insite touchscreen with CueServer 3.0 delivers.
In this article, we'll cover how to use PIN numbers with Insite and CueServer 3.0.
The Scenario
You have an event hall with several Insite stations around the building. You don't want to allow access to the building lighting to anyone who happens to be walking by, you want to make sure only those with permission have access. You also need to compartmentalize the controls so that people only have access to those areas they need access to.
The Breakdown
To do this, we'll use the cascading PIN numbers feature of Insite and CueServer 3.0.
This provides access to pages via a unique 4-digit PIN number and denies it to those without it. After we have our stations up and running, its a matter of checking the "Require PIN" box and assigning a PIN number.
PIN numbers are page-specific, so we'll keep our basic controls on one page and our advanced controls on another page with a separate PIN. This will ensure that only those with permission to access the extended functionality will do so.
