Trouble shooting
If you can’t communicate with the TIMEmate, check following points:
•
Check the Baudrate and multidrop address settings of the timemate.
Default 9600 baud, Address 00
•
Check the serial cable, this can be done with a RS232 line tester, which has LED’s for the
Rxd and Txd lines.
•
Check if the DIP switches are correctly configured.
•
For network communication see the chapter ‘setup Ethernet interface’.
Card reader doesn’t work.
•
If you hear a beep after your read a card and the timemate gives no further response, means
that the timemate reads the card ok, but the software doesn’t process the data correctly.
•
Use the selftest in the settings menu. You can check if the hardware works and what data is
received from the reader.
•
If the reader is not a standard reader check if you have the correct version of the firmware.
