Chapter 1 Overview
1-8 ADP, Inc.
If your host application is Enterprise eTIME, you use Data Collection Manager
(DCM) to define which functions and transactions users can perform at the
timeclocks. You also use DCM to collect, transfer, and monitor the flow of data
between the host application and the Series 4000 timeclock. For more
information, see the Data Collection Manager System Administrator’s Guide and
the DCM online Help.
Cross-punching
The cross-punching feature enables employees to use timeclocks that they are not
assigned to. Each employee is assigned to a specific timeclock. They are
considered a home employee to that particular timeclock. At times, an employee
may need to use a timeclock that they are not assigned to for simple punching
purposes. In this case, they are considered a non-home employee. This is where
the cross-punching feature comes in.
You enable the cross-punching feature in the timeclock’s data collection
communication feature.
Modes of Operation
The Series 4000 timeclock operates in three modes. Each mode has its own set of
functions and requires a specially coded badge for access.
!
Employee
The Series 4000 timeclock most often operates in Employee Mode. In
Employee Mode, the timeclock accepts punch data entered using the badge
reader and keypad. In this mode, only “home” employees (employees who
have been assigned to the timeclock from the host application) whose badge
number or employee ID have been downloaded from the host application can
use the timeclock. If cross-punching is enabled in the timeclock program, then
non-home employees can use the timeclock as well as home employees.
