TimeForce II Hardware Guide 1
Introduction
Introduction
There are three lines of time clocks available for use with TimeForce II.
Each line consists of multiple clock models, allowing you a range of
functionality and communication options. The lines of clocks that
Infinisource offers are ETC clocks, IntelliClocks (or IQ clocks), and
Velocity clocks (or V800/V850 clocks).
ETC 100 Clock
The 100 Series time clock is used for collecting only the most basic
Time & Attendance information, and uses a standard magnetic stripe
card reader.
IntelliClocks
There are four models of IntelliClocks which offer basic Time & Atten-
dance tracking, as well as Departmental and Job Tracking support. Intel-
liClock models are IQ 300, IQ 400, IQ 500, and IQ 1000.
Data may be entered into an IQ Series clock by using a magnetic card
reader and time cards, by using a bar code wand or reader, by using
proximity time cards, or by entering data directly into the clock’s key-
pad, if this option is enabled.
The IntelliClocks have In, Out, Lunch and Break buttons so that the
employee can designate very specific punches.
These clocks also offer multi-level password protection, so that the time
clock menu options can only be accessed by users with an “Admin” or
“Supervisor” password.
Both clock lines are available with a variety of options, each of which
will be explained in a later section.
The IQ 1000 model clock also comes equipped with a biometric reader,
allowing your employees to clock in and out using their finger tem-
plates.
Note: The biometric reader is optional on a model IQ 1000 clock.

2Infinisource
Velocity Clocks
The major difference between a Velocity clock and an ETC or IQ clock
is the absence of a card reader. Data is entered at the clock exclusively
through direct keypad entry and finger ID verification. This allows you
to eliminate the hassle of assigning and maintaining physical time cards
for your employees. The V800 clock model is used for basic Time &
Attendance tracking. The V850 offers the additional functionality of
Departmental, Job/Task and Disbursement (Tips) tracking.

TimeForce II Hardware Guide 3
Installing the ClockLink Utility
Installing the ClockLink Utility
Important Note:
The ClockLink utility is a separate utility to the TimeForce system
which connects to your time clock, downloads the stored punches and
sends them to the TimeForce II database. The majority of Infinisource
time clocks use the On Demand communication method, which negates
the need for a separate utility to facilitate communications. In its place,
the Clock Server utility is used to silently listen in the background of the
server machine for an automatic upload from the clock.
The ClockLink utility is for use only with clocks that are not running On
Demand. For On Demand clocks, the Clock Server utility is used.
Program Installation
The ClockLink utility must be installed on a machine that has access to
each time clock that you would like the utility to manage. The installa-
tion is located on the TimeForce II Installation disk.
1. Insert the TimeForce disk into your computer's CD-ROM drive.
2. The main “Installation Menu” should automatically appear. If it
does not, go to My Computer, browse the contents of your CD-
ROM drive and double-click on “Setup.exe.”
3. From the main “Installation Menu” screen, click on the [UTILI-
TIES] icon.
4. Click on the [ClockLink] icon.
5. A dialog box opens which reads “This will install ClockLink for
TimeForce II. Do you wish to continue?” Click on the [YES] icon.
The InstallShield Wizard opens and guides you through the rest of
the setup process.
6. The InstallShield Wizard opens with a “Welcome” screen. Click on
the [NEXT] icon to continue. The “Choose Destination Location”
screen opens.

4Infinisource
7. The default installation directory is “C:\Program Files\Qqest Soft-
ware Systems\TimeForce II\ClockLink.” To select a custom install
directory, click on the [BROWSE] icon. Once the install directory
has been selected, click on the [NEXT] icon to continue.
Note: It is recommended that you allow the program to be installed
in its default installation directory.
8. The “IP Address” screen opens. Enter the address of the machine

Clock Server
Clock Server
The Clock Server utility is used to download the punches from your On
Demand Ethernet or Cellular clock and send them to the TimeForce II
database. The server software listens on the specified port for a connec-
tion to the time clock. When the clock initiates an upload, the server
downloads the punches, logs off the clock and continues listening for
more connections.
Note:
The Clock Server is only used with Cellular or On Demand Ethernet
time clocks.

Setting Up the Clock Server
Before you can use the Clock Server, the following setup steps must be
completed.
Add Database Connection
Before the Clock Server will be able to send the punches from your time
clock to TimeForce, you must first configure a connection to the Time-
Force II database.
1. From the main Clock Server menu, click on the “File” drop-down
menu and select Add/Edit Database Connection. The “SQL
Server Connection” window opens.
2. In the SQL Server field, enter the name of the SQL Server that the

Password for the specified SQL Server.
4. Click on the [OK] icon to save the changes that you have made.
Network Interface Details
The Clock Server must be set up with the IP address of the machine that
is hosting the Clock Server utility.
Note: If you are using Cellular clocks, this computer must be set up so
that a publicly available IP address on the internet resolves to this
machine.
1. From the main Clock Server menu, click on the “Network Inter-
face” drop-down menu and select New. The “Network Interface
Details” screen opens.

column. This setting is always “5402.”
• The Status column displays the status of the network interface.
While listening, “Waiting” will be displayed in this column.
Add Company
The next step is to add a company to the database that pertains to the
clocks which will be connecting to the server for downloading.
