General (Hand Reader)
As the name of the tab indicates this is for general information about the clock. All fields with an asterisk must be filled in.
- Clock ID- A number assigned to the clock in the software to differentiate it from others.
- Description- User defined. It is simply a way to make it easier to find or select various clocks.
- Data Terminal Model- The manufacturer model number.
- Configuration ID- This is the ID number programmed in the clock. For Hand Punches with TCP/IP communications this will be a 0.
- Clock Serial #- The serial number provided by the manufacturer.
- MAC Address- The address defined within the firmware of the clock. Many clocks display this on bootup. It can also be found by using an ARP command from a command prompt.
- Clock IP Address- The network address assigned to this clock. This address must be static.
- Daylight Savings- This is mostly used with non-network clocks such as those with serial or modem communications. Network clocks can be set to sync with the server so it will change DST with the server.
- Date Format- Define from the drop-down window in what order you want Month, Date, and Year displayed.
- Time Format- Select either 12 hour format (AM/PM) or 24 hour format (0-23).
- Time Assigned Transferrables- Under this heading you can assign a Labor Distribution field from one or more categories to the clock. If you assign Department 100 to the clock then anyone punching In on this clock will be transferred to Dept 1 regardless of the department they are assigned to.
- Enable Enter Key- This will require that employee use the Enter key after keying in information.
- Time Difference in Minutes Between Server and Clock- In most cases this is set to "0". An example of when it isn't is if the clock is located in a different time zone than the server Time Advantage is installed on.
