3. Connect the RJ-11 connector of the serial cable into the port labeled
“Phone/Computer/Daisy” on the bottom of the time clock.
4. Connect the RS-232 end of the cable (the 9-pin D-connector) into
an available serial port on your computer.
Modem Clocks
The time clock should be placed in a convenient location where employ-
ees typically enter and exit the work area.
Note: A Modem time clock will only communicate over an analog
phone line. Digital lines are not supported. Due to possible problems
when running a modem clock on some types of phone systems, we
require that only a “two wire” phone cable be used with our clocks (as
opposed to a standard “four wire” cable). This prevents possible damage
to the clock motherboard or modem due to power running through the
two extra wires.
We have provided a two wire phone cable with the time clock. If you
need longer cables, please use this cable as a template to properly mod-
ify a standard four wire phone cable, or you can purchase a new cable of
sufficient length from Infinisource.
1. Attach the time clock to the wall with the provided mounting
screws.
2. Connect the power cord to the bottom of the time clock and plug it
into the closest available electrical (110-120 VAC) outlet.
3. Insert one of the square, plastic RJ-11 connectors of the Telephone
Adapter Cable into the port of the bottom of the Time Clock labeled
“Phone/Computer/Daisy.” Ensure that the connector locks into
place.
4. Insert the RJ-11 connector on the other end of the Telephone
Adapter Cable into an active telephone wall jack. Ensure that the
connector locks into place.
