Further to my last on this subject, I went and reviewed the set up and I made a minor error!!!
I actually have over 350,000 different PIN code accounts running on the box, not 3,500 - a huge difference and much much more than I'll ever need. Thank you for pointing out the way to change the time out - at least now I can generate them in one go now.
