3. SETTING UP THE TIME CLOCK
SYSTEM
The state of most windows of Time clock will be memorized. You may resize the windows according to
your specific needs.
To setup the system correctly, you need to connect the AVEA’s reader to the USB or serial ports of the
PC. For serial port, it can be standard RS232 serial port (i.e. COM1, COM2) or extended serial ports by
USB to serial cables or add-on cards. But the COM port must be 1 to 8. In case the COM port is mapped
to higher than COM8 for USB reader, you need to modify it manually to COM8 or below.

3.3 SETUP - AUTO IN/OUT TIME (FOR PC BASED “CLOCK” READER
ONLY)
Auto IN/OUT Time is a powerful feature for PC based readers that are setup as TIME CLOCK in “mode of
operation” of Reader’s setup (see section 3.6). With this feature, a single PC based reader can be used to
collect data for clock IN and clock OUT. Hence, more accurate data can be collected for reporting. (*This
feature will not affect the data collected from IN/OUT and offline reader.)

attendance records can be gathered from different geographical locations.
