Time Guardian Series
– Communications 7-1
Chapter 7: Communications
The Communications module is used to remotely communicate with terminals in setup
locations. Locations and Terminals can be configured during the Setup Wizard Step 8: Terminal
Setup. Operations include polling, downloading, setting the time, and viewing specific terminal
settings in a location.
Polling , or polled operation, refers to actively sampling the status of the
external terminals by the client program Time & Attendance software. Downloading is utilized
to send data to the remote terminals from the Time & Attendance software such as the Lock-in
schedule at the MTX-15 terminal which is derived from the employee schedule and/or Pay
Class schedule. The MTX-15 lock-in schedule can restrict an employee from punching outside
the authorized time range without supervisor help. Also, the function buttons activation on the
MTX-15 display are controlled by the communication download with the Time & Attendance
software.
