Clock Server
Clock Server
The Clock Server utility is used to download the punches from your On
Demand Ethernet or Cellular clock and send them to the TimeForce II
database. The server software listens on the specified port for a connec-
tion to the time clock. When the clock initiates an upload, the server
downloads the punches, logs off the clock and continues listening for
more connections.
Note:
The Clock Server is only used with Cellular or On Demand Ethernet
time clocks.
