Installing the ClockLink Utility
Installing the ClockLink Utility
Important Note:
The ClockLink utility is a separate utility to the TimeForce system
which connects to your time clock, downloads the stored punches and
sends them to the TimeForce II database. The majority of Infinisource
time clocks use the On Demand communication method, which negates
the need for a separate utility to facilitate communications. In its place,
the Clock Server utility is used to silently listen in the background of the
server machine for an automatic upload from the clock.
The ClockLink utility is for use only with clocks that are not running On
Demand. For On Demand clocks, the Clock Server utility is used.
Program Installation
The ClockLink utility must be installed on a machine that has access to
each time clock that you would like the utility to manage. The installa-
tion is located on the TimeForce II Installation disk.
1. Insert the TimeForce disk into your computer's CD-ROM drive.
2. The main “Installation Menu” should automatically appear. If it

ROM drive and double-click on “Setup.exe.”

TIES] icon.
4. Click on the [ClockLink] icon.

TimeForce II. Do you wish to continue?” Click on the [YES] icon.
The InstallShield Wizard opens and guides you through the rest of
the setup process.
6. The InstallShield Wizard opens with a “Welcome” screen. Click on
the [NEXT] icon to continue. The “Choose Destination Location”
screen opens.
