Notice to Users
The components in this system have been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. The device generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet circuit other than the one to which the receiver is
connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
These devices have been tested to comply with the limits for a Class B computing device, pursuant to FCC rules. In order to maintain compliance with FCC regulations, shielded cables must be used with the equipment if not connected directly to the system. Operation with unshielded cables is likely to result in interference to radio and television reception.
CAUTION: Changes and modifications made to the device without the approval of the manufacturer could void the user's authority to operate this device.

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.

Overall Installation Notes:
Installation of the TimeIPS system normally takes less than an hour. If you have multiple locations, a complex network or are not familiar with networking, installation may take longer. Our Technical Support department is available to assist if you have installation questions.
All TimeIPS servers and clocks should be installed in an indoor location, out of direct sunlight, meeting the temperature requirements listed on the back cover of this guide.

TimeIPS Server Overview
The primary functions of the TimeIPS server include:
Gathering punches from network clocks, remote clocking and telephone
clocking modules
Storing time and attendance data
Processing data, including time worked, schedules, jobs, alerts, etc.
Providing an easy to access web-based reporting and management interface
TimeIPS network clocks are used for walk-up clocking and are connected via Ethernet. Additionally, optional TimeIPS telephone clocking modules can be used for call-in clocking.
Network Requirements
A standard RJ-45 Ethernet network cable connects TimeIPS to your network. The TimeIPS server is accessed by its IP address on your network. To make access easy and to prevent unexpected IP address changes, the TimeIPS server should be configured with a static IP address on your LAN. Additional network clocks can be set to static IP addresses, or can be dynamically addressed with DHCP. Network clocks send a broadcast packet to look for a server on the same subnet. Clocks on different networks or subnets will need to be manually configured (this is done through the menu or by visiting http://<IP address of the clock>).
Network Ports Used By TimeIPS
The following ports are used by TimeIPS to access the Internet (if available) for the reasons described below:
80 (HTTP) Software update downloads 25 (SMTP) Email reports and messages 53 (DNS) Name resolution 123 (NTP) Time synchronization 443 (TimeIPS) Software update and backup authorization
Note: These are standard outgoing ports used by TimeIPS (not port forwards).
