TimeTec – An Introduction
THE BASIC UNDERSTANDING OF TIMETEC
TimeTec is a web based FingerTec application for managing employee data and
attendance records. Administrators can manage employees easily as they are able
to transfer user data within the terminals with TimeTec. Attendance data from FingerTec terminals are downloaded into TimeTec to provide an overview of the staff’s
attendance. TimeTec works with a MySQL database to maximize the capacity storage and minimize housekeeping efforts.
Managing and using the TimeTec is easy. FingerTec terminals automatically upload
new user information (user ID, fingerprint templates, card information and password) to TimeTec whenever a new employee is registered at the terminal.
For companies with multiple branches or outlets, employees are often relocated.
With TimeTec, an administrator can upload the information of the employee concerned to relevant terminals in the new branch within seconds. The employee can
then start to report his/her attendance at the new branch immediately. If an employee resigns, the administrator will be able to delete the employee details from
the system easily as well.
TimeTec provides a complete hierarchy to fit most companies’ structure. It is divided into Company > Branch > Department > Section. An administrator can assign
employees into the appropriate level in a company to ease management and data
viewing. The system administrator can also assign new administrators/operators to
run TimeTec, manage attendance data, and generate reports. It comes with a multilevel login authorization where the system administrator can assign the operating
levels of each user, for example an administrator of the Accounts department will
only be able to view records within the Accounts department – records and transactions from other departments /branches / companies will not be viewable to the
Accounts administrator.
With the TimeTec, FingerTec terminals are utilized as attendance capturing stations.
Employees report their attendance by verifying their fingerprint, card or password,
and the attendance records will be uploaded to TimeTec immediately for the system administrator to view in the attendance sheet. This ensures that the attendance
records in TimeTec will always be up to date. TimeTec provides a total of 999 working scenarios, each with 7 pairs of clocking status:
In | Tea break in-out | Lunch break in-out | Tea break in-out | dinner break in-out |
supper break in-out | OT in-out | Out
CONTENTS
5
TimeTec allows administrators to setup working schedules to fit a specific working
environment, for example normal working hours, overnight working hours, factory
shifts working patterns and flexi working hours. The First in and last Out are the MUST
have columns under the working schedules; the others are optional. The 7-pairs (14)
of columns maximize the slots for attendance capturing and also provide detailed
check points of all employees.
An administrator can prepare 26 types of reports to understand and analyze employees’ working behavior and efficiency. With multiple levels of access, system operators can view reports with restriction (branch/department/section), without having
to interrupt each other. Individual employees can also login to TimeTec to view and
print their personal attendance records. Furthermore, each report can be saved into
different digital formats (PDF, DOC or XLS).
WHAT WILL YOU NEED TO SETUP TIMETEC?
You will need the following components to set up the TimeTec successfully:
a. Server: (tech spec)
MINIMUM SERVER REQUIREMENTS
• Speed: 1GHz
• Operating System: Windows XP Professional (32-Bit)/Windows Server 2003 (32-Bit)/Windows Vista
(32-Bit or 64-Bit) Home Premium, Business, Enterprise and Ultimate/Windows 7 (32-Bit or 64-Bit) /Windows
8 (32-Bit r 64-Bit), Home Premium, Professional and Ultimate/Windows Server 2008 (32-Bit & 64-Bit)
• Memory: 2GB RAM
• Storage: 10GB free disk space
• Framework: .Net Framework 4.0
• Supported Browser: Web Browser IE7/Chrome 9/FireFox 3/Safari 5
b. Static IP
The TimeTec server requires a static IP to link up to the FingerTec terminals. The
terminals respond to this static IP to upload user data and attendance.
c. Internet connectivity
TimeTec must be connected to the terminals all the time to be able to retrieve data
for user management and attendance processing. Make sure the Internet connectivity in between TimeTec and the terminals is stable and reliable. Check the connection to prevent any interrupted data connection.
d. FingerTec terminals (Webster supported)
FingerTec terminals are installed as attendance-reporting machines. The FingerTec
terminals must be updated with a special firmware to add the Webster function for
it to be able to work with TimeTec. Only selected FingerTec models can support
Webster; consult your local reseller or support@fingertec.com for more informa-

tion on your terminal’s compatibility .
You’ll need to configure the following in the FingerTec terminal:
• IP, Gateway and Subnet mask of the terminal
• Webserver IP (static IP of the TimeTec server)
• Port number (recommended to use 80)

Managing Terminals
•
This chapter guides you on how to add, define and identify all FingerTec
terminals to TimeTec in a connected environment for a complete management of employees and their attendance data.
Adding Terminals to TimeTec
To track employees’ attendance records, you must add the terminals that are being used to report attendance. Connecting the terminals to TimeTec enables you to
download all attendance data contained in the terminals via the web, upload and
update relevant information to the terminals and monitor the activities of the terminals effectively. TimeTec cannot update any information to terminals that are not
connected to it.

an SDK, that is used to consolidate and centralize the
database for time and attendance. With the Webster
platform, you can access raw
time attendance data anytime and everywhere using
internet browser.
