A backup access code pool is a collection of pre-programmed access codes stored on a device, ready for use. These codes are programmed in addition to the regular access codes on Seam, serving as a safety net for any issues with the primary codes. If there's ever a complication with a primary access codeβbe it due to intermittent connectivity, manual removal from a device, or provider outagesβa backup code can be retrieved. Its end time can then be adjusted to align with the original code, facilitating seamless and uninterrupted access.
You can pull a backup access code from the pool at any time. These backup codes are guaranteed to work immediately and automatically programmed to be removed from the device after the access code ends.
You can only pull backup access codes for time-bound access codes.
