TimeClock - Time Clock Remote

Getting Started with TimeClock Remote

This article assumes that you already know how to:

• How to Configure your Remote Reader
• Troubleshooting your Remote Reader.

--NOTE-- The Timeclock Remote application must be running at all times in order to update the date/time and poll the clock for punches.

Opening your Timeclock Remote application:

Click Start > Programs > Gradience > Timeclock Remote

Login with your Gradience login and password

Connecting and Adding New Clocks

If you already have a terminal configured, press the Connect button. This will sync the date and time with the clock as long as the Time Clock Remote program is running. So, it must stay running and can be minimized.

If you need to add a new terminal: click File > New Terminal and add the IP Address. You can give the Terminal a name as well. Port is defaulted to 1070.

--NOTE-- The Connect on Startup option means that if you shutdown the workstation or log out, when you re-open the application it eliminates the need to press the Connect button. 

Swiping

Anytime an employee clocks in or out it will show their magstripe number under Last Message Received. If you need to assign employees this is where you would note the %number? message. In Gradience TimeClock under Time Clock Access for each employee, the unique number needs to match up under the section labelled Swipe Card ID (see example above).

Swipe Card Setup instructions
