Length = Number of characters used for the PIN

Format = Number of characters in a bunch for better reading

Symbols = Allowed characters


To reduce the symbols list to numbers only:

visulox config edit -name pin.symbols="1234567890" -force
    ------------------------------------
    | parameter   |  type | value      |
    ------------------------------------
    | pin.symbols | SETUP | 1234567890 |
    ------------------------------------

Display PINs via CLI (getpin)

It is possible to display the PINs for the sequence numbers via the Command Line Interface.


visulox online getpin -sq <sequence number> -out <format string>


Placeholders like %OWNER%, %OWNERSHORT%, %PIN% can be used in the format string.

So the output format can be defined by the customer.
