Prepare and Plan
TimeIPS servers are time and attendance network appliances. This means the
hardware is pre-loaded with an embedded operating system and a complete set of
TimeIPS software components, ready to use. You'll simply connect it to your
network, set an IP address and, optionally, install one or more network clocks or
telephone clocking modules to provide employees a way to clock in and out.
The initial configuration will require a computer monitor and keyboard (PS/2 or
USB) to set the IP address of the server. We recommend a monitor with a
1024x768x60Hz or 1280x1024x60Hz resolution with a VGA cable. Other video
modes may or may not be supported. Once an IP address is set, use any computer
with a web browser on your network to access and manage TimeIPS.
Network clocks can be connected on a LAN (Local Area Network) or at remote
locations connected via Internet or WAN (Wide Area Network). For maximum
security, a secure VPN (Virtual Private Network) is recommended for remote sites.
Network clocks can be located at any door or entrance to your facility, or at any
location which is convenient for your employees to clock in and out.
Please examine the diagram on the next page to assist in planning your TimeIPS
installation. Most installations will have a network clock at the main employee
entrance. Additional network clocks can be added at any time to other entrances or
any location within your business.
