Step by step
- Open HRM > Attendance Devices.
- Set up the device: on the device open Menu > COMM. > Cloud Server Setting and enter the Server Address shown on this page, Server Port 80 and Enable Domain Name ON.
- Press Add Device. Enter the Device Name and the Serial Number (on the device: Menu > System Info > Device Info), choose the Business if shown, write the Location, keep Active ticked and press Save.
- Open the Employee Device IDs tab and give every employee the user number he has on the device.
- The tiles show Devices, Online Now, Punches Today, Waiting To Process and Punches Not Linked. The Connection column shows Online, Offline or Never connected.
- Action > Edit changes a device, Punch Log shows its punches and Delete removes it. Filter Options filters the list by Business and Status; Excel and Print export it.
- Import Punches loads a CSV, Excel or attlog.dat file, for example from a device that is not online. Process Punches turns the waiting punches into attendance now.
Good to know
- New punches from a connected device become attendance at once: the first punch of the day is the clock in and the last punch is the clock out.
- When a device that is not added tries to connect, a warning with its serial number appears. Press Add This Device to add it.
- An inactive device is refused when it connects. Deleting a device keeps its punches.
- Two devices cannot have the same serial number.
- A punch whose device user ID is not given to any employee waits under Punches Not Linked until you give that ID in Employee Device IDs.
- This page needs the Attendance Devices, Punch Import & Processing permission.
