Prepare and Plan
TimeIPS servers are time an atten ance network appliances. This means the
har ware is pre-loa e with an embe e operating system an a complete set of
TimeIPS software components, rea y to use. You'll simply connect it to your
network, set an IP a ress an , optionally, install one or more network clocks or
telephone clocking mo ules to provi e employees a way to clock in an out.
The initial configuration will require a computer monitor an keyboar (PS/2 or
USB) to set the IP a ress of the server. We recommen a monitor with a
1024x768x60Hz or 1280x1024x60Hz resolution with a VGA cable. Other vi eo
mo es may or may not be supporte . Once an IP a ress is set, use any computer
with a web browser on your network to access an manage TimeIPS.
Network clocks can be connecte on a LAN (Local Area Network) or at remote
locations connecte via Internet or WAN (Wi e Area Network). For maximum
security, a secure VPN (Virtual Private Network) is recommen e for remote sites.
Network clocks can be locate at any oor or entrance to your facility, or at any
location which is convenient for your employees to clock in an out.
Please examine the iagram on the next page to assist in planning your TimeIPS
installation. Most installations will have a network clock at the main employee
entrance. A itional network clocks can be a e at any time to other entrances or
any location within your business.
