Information
It is recommended to use the Auto-Sync
Utility CD included with your clock. Install and
start the Utility. When the Utility opens it will
automatically perform a local network clock
search. When the clock appears in the list,
double-click on the discovered clock to Login
using a browser.
Skip to Step 6
NOTE:
With the Utility open, click on Help to open the
Guide.
NOTE: To simplify discovery, the PC & Auto-Sync Time
Clock should be on the same Subnet. You can use the
Settings screen to switch Domains. See User Guide.
With Internet Explorer (IE) & Bonjour®,
select View Explorer Bar Bonjour. Locate
and click on the discovered clock in the list of
devices on the left-hand side to connect for login.
The Auto-Sync Time Clocks will appear here.
NOTE:
Bonjour may need
to be downloaded & installed
as a plug-in.
With Safari select
Bookmarks
Show All Bookmarks.
Locate and click
on the discovered
Auto-Sync Time Clock
in the “Bookmarks”
to connect for login.
During power up, the clock will flash “boot”,
then sequentially display the complete IP address
twice, and show a normal display of date and time.
For example, an
IP = 192.168.57.106
would display
1st 192
2nd 168
3rd 57
4th 106
NOTE:
If the clock cannot connect
to the network it will flash 0.0.0.0 for the IP address.

Information
For additional information, click on Help with the Utility open to launch the Auto-Sync Time Clock User Guide.
NOTE: For PoE models, leaving the Auto-Sync Time Clock unplugged from a PoE terminal or without power for more than 24
hours may create a problem with the clock starting up (you will see “low bat” briefly appear in the display). In this instance, the
clock should be started with the battery pack cable disconnected and the clock plugged into a PoE terminal.Wait until the clock
starts up, or displays the time, then reconnect the battery pack cable and it will charge. During this time, Amano recommends to
wait 24 hours before printing.
After login, the Auto-Sync Time Clock “Clock
Information” page will appear. Black Box
recommends creating a name and description.
