A PIN block with default size is allocated during the registration of a new Parcel instance. Based on the PIN usage, the further PIN allocation is done automatically by Parcel. If automatic PIN allocation is not done due to some technical reasons, user intervention is needed.
The PIN Management screen under the carrier added allows you to manually initialize a new PIN block for that carrier.
To initialize a new PIN block, click on the Initialize tab and specify the information as described in the table below. Then click [SAVE] to save these details.
