Ever since his return to Atlantis, Daniel Jackson has been busy. The news that multiple universes exist and can be accessed comes as a surprise to absolutely no one in the base, even without any proof from the general or his guest, so there is little resistance to setting up a designated PINpoint area. Of course, given the immense tactical weakness of a free-for-all teleport zone, they've installed certain precautions to keep it from being used by any enemies as an entry into the base.
Samantha Carter and Rodney McKay have been hard at work, taking apart and studying spare PINpoints that Daniel brought back with him, and designed a sort of anti-PINpoint shield that makes it harder to enter uninvited, much like the iris on the Stargate. And, as with the iris, access through it is only granted with the use of a code transmitted through the portal.
Daniel's personal code is read and accepted by the main Atlantis computer, and a gap in the shield opens up in one specific room on one of the otherwise inactive pylons, far from the center of the facility. A pair of guards stand watch over the room, weapons trained on the portal until they recognize who is coming through, just in case.

Daniel touches one of the dots near the center, and the floor lights up briefly before the doors slide open again. Though they won't have felt anything, the corridor outside is now well-traveled, with people passing by here and there.

Individuals get their own codes as a backup, and all the codes change periodically in case an enemy learns a code."
