34. How to check the User PIN Brute Force Limitation
The Administrator is able to observe and determine the number of consecutive times an incorrect User PIN is allowed to be entered
before triggering the Brute Force defence mechanism by simply noting the LED sequence as described below.
To check the brute force limitation setting, fi rst enter the "Admin Mode" as described in section 5. Once the drive is in Admin Mode
(solid
BLUE
LED) proceed with the following steps.
1. In Admin mode press and hold down both
2 + 0 buttons
2. Press the KEY ( ) button and the following happens;
a. All LED's (RED,
GREEN
& BLUE) become solid for 1 second.
b. Each
RED
LED blink equates to ten (10) units of a brute force limitation number.
c. Every
GREEN
LED blink equates to one (1) single unit of a brute force limitation number.
d. All LED's (RED,
GREEN
& BLUE) become solid for 1 second.
e. LEDs return to solid
BLUE
The table below describes the LED behaviour whilst checking the brute force limitation setting, for instance if you have set the drive to
brute force after 5 consecutive incorrect PIN entries, the
