Time Guardian Series
– Setup Wizard
Before a Location can be created, a Bell Schedule and Terminal Validation must be set.
You must create a Location to communicate with your terminals. A Location enables the Time &
Attendance software to distinguish and interact with the desired terminal(s). Only one terminal
type can be used per Location. If you have more than one terminal type, you must have multiple
Locations.
The window will open on the General Tab with a Location Name. It is recommended to use the
default names for an MTX-15, FPT-40, or Nexus Lite terminal.
Note: Three default terminal locations have been setup and they are called “ MTX-15 Default ”,
“ FPT-40 Default ” and “ Nexus Lite Default ”. Direct connection (serial) for either terminal
does not require any additional setup, while Ethernet does require the IP Address for
each terminal.
To create a new Location:
1. Create a new Location and you will be required to enter a unique Name [yellow required
field] that will be used to describe the area or site where a terminal or group of terminals is
located.
2. In the Description field, enter in a brief description of the Location.
3. In the Term Type field; select the type of terminal you are using at this location. The choices
are MTX-5, MTX-10, MTX-15, MTX-20, FPT-40, HandPunch 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, or
Nexus Lite.
4. In the TZ (Time Zone) Offset field, select the time zone difference in Hours and Minutes (if
applicable) between the physical location of your PC and the terminals.
5. In the Output Path field, enter the path of the output XML file. If necessary, press the
Browse button to navigate to the location of the XML output file.
6. If necessary, check the “Secondary Output File” box, and In the Output Path field, enter the
path of the secondary output file. Press the Browse button to navigate to the location of the
secondary output file.
