SETUP
To set up your new FlexClock, there are only two cables to connect. One is for the
power, and the other is an Ethernet cable that connects to your network. Connect
the cables to the bottom of the clock. Your FlexClock Z-Series may have a third port
(USB or serial). You do not need to connect anything to this. Once connected, the
clock can be used immediately if the clock has already been added to your account.
You may wish to hang your new FlexClock on a wall. Your FlexClock includes basic
mounting hardware. To mount the Z23, use the hardware included to hang the clock
directly on the screws. To mount the Z24, rst mount the included backplate to the
wall, and then attach the clock to the plate.
Network Setup
Your FlexClock automatically sets itself up on your network, as long as your network
supports this capability. Most small business networks do.
If your network requires a manual or “static” conguration, your company’s IT
department should be able to tell you whether you need to set up a “Static IP
address”. Usually, you do not need to do this. If you do, you can reach a hidden
Network Conguration menu. To access this menu, press * or MENU (depending on
your model), and enter the following password: 2663.
For rewall administrators only: FlexClock will make outgoing connections on TCP
ports 8288 and 8289. By default, most rewalls allow this sort of outgoing connection
without any additional setup. FlexClock only makes outgoing connections, so it does
not need any setup for inbound connections.
Initial Setup
All of the clock settings are retrieved from the timekeeping server. This includes
settings like the time and date, time zone, Daylight Saving Time settings, etc.
Once the clock is connected to the network, you can press the 9 key to force it to
communicate.
If you receive the message “UNKNOWN SERIAL #”, it means your clock has not been
set up online. Note that it can take up to 10 minutes after the clock has been added
to the site for it to actually become active.
Once your clock is set up, it will periodically transmit automatically. There is no need
to force it to transmit with the 9 key, although you can do this at any time.
