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 CC rules. In order to maintain compliance with CC

IPS120T Series Overview
The TimeIPS IPS120T is Network Time Clock th t connects vi n Ethernet
network to TimeIPS Server ("m ster") system. The IPS120T-B option includes
biometric sensor for employee verific tion when clocking:
IPS120T - No biometric sensor IPS120T-B - Biometric sensor inst lled
Prepare and Plan
The TimeIPS network time clocks re designed to be connected on LAN (Loc l
Are Network) or t remote loc tions on WAN (Wide Are Network). For WAN,
secure VPN (Virtu l Priv te Network) is recommended.
We recommend TimeIPS clock t e ch employee entr nce to your f cility nd/or
in your centr l bre k-room. E ch clock will require n AC power outlet nd
connection to your network. Ple se ex mine the di gr m on the next p ge to ssist
in pl nning your TimeIPS inst ll tion. Most inst ll tions will h ve the first clock t

Mounting and Connecting the Ti eIPS IPS120T
A det iled mounting guide with templ tes nd t mper-resist nt options for the
IPS120T is v il ble in the downlo ds section of http://support.timeips.com. In
most c ses, the IPS120T c n simply be mounted with two #6 p n he d screws using
the w ll mounting t bs.
Connect the network. Connect employee identific tion device(s) to the USB ports.
Only use the supplied 5VDC 2.6A (Positive Center) power d pter (or option l
TimeIPS Power Over Ethernet d pter). Connecting ny other d pter or power
supply m y d m ge the IPS120T nd will void the w rr nty.

The clock will continue the st rt-up process for bout nother 30-60 seconds. When
the st rt-up process is complete you should see screen simil r to this:
Your new clock must connect to m ster st tion in order to llow your employees
to clock in nd out. Using your keyp d (or USB keybo rd if you do not h ve
keyp d) select Se rch for M ster nd press Enter. The screen on your IPS120T
should fl sh “St rting TimeIPS” for few seconds. You should then see screen

Network Troubleshooting
In the event th t your clock is still un ble to re ch your m ster you m y need to use
st tic IP ddress (if so, go to p ge 9), or you m y be h ving network problems.
The first step is to verify your clock h s received n IP ddress from your network.
1) Your clock is set to utom tic lly obt in n IP ddress from your network vi
DHCP by def ult. To see the IP ddress of your TimeIPS IPS120T, use the rrow
keys on your keyp d to scroll down to “Configure Network” nd press Enter.
TimeIPS should displ y screen simil r to the following:
Select “Show Network Info” nd press Enter to see the IP ddress of your TimeIPS
clock. You should see something like this:
2) If no network connection w s detected you should see the following screen:
If you see this screen, check the network c ble on the b ck of the TimeIPS unit.
Unplug nd reconnect the network c ble t both ends nd/or try different network
c ble. The green link light should be on. If not, your network is not working.
Once you h ve checked the c ble nd/or reconnected it, scroll down to “Revert to
DHCP” nd press Enter. When you return to the “Configure Network” menu, scroll
down to “Apply Settings” nd press Enter. This will c use TimeIPS to resc n your
network for n IP ddress. Repe t step 1 bove to check the IP ddress TimeIPS h s
received. If TimeIPS is still unsuccessful in obt ining n IP ddress, ple se cont ct

ddress nd you w nt to ch nge to st tic, you c n use the web interf ce provided by
the IPS120T.
(A) If your clock h s DHCP ddress, but you w nt to ch nge it to st tic ddress,
the first option is to use the web interf ce of the clock. To do this, enter the ddress
of the clock into web browser of ny computer on your network:
http://192.168.1.106/
Your web browser will t ke you to p ge where you c n set the IP ddress, Subnet
M sk, Def ult G tew y, Prim ry nd Second ry DNS servers nd the NTP server
for this clock. Be sure to click on “Apply Ch nges” to store your settings.
(B) To set st tic IP ddress through the clock menu you must be n dministr tive
user. Access the menu nd n vig te to the Full System Menu. Scroll down to
“Configure Network” nd press Enter. Then scroll to “Set IP Address” nd press
Enter. You should then see screen simil r to the following:

use the biometric option most successfully.
The IPS120T-B must be mounted so th t fingers c n be pl ced fl t g inst the
sensor s shown on the left. The biometric sensor WILL NOT WORK with the tip
of the finger on the sensor s shown on the right.
Note: Keep the fingerprint sensor cle n with soft, dry cloth. Do NOT use cle ning
products on the unit s they will d m ge the sensor.

IPS120T-B Bio etrics Training
Configuration in the Master:
The configur tion re for biometrics is done is three pl ces on the M ster:
1) Administr tion → Clocking → Biometric V lid tion: Gener l biometric
options nd def ults for employees.
2) Administr tion → Employees M n gement→Employee Biometrics:
Employee specific options nd enrollment m n gement.
3) Administr tion → System Administr tion → Clock Configur tion: Options
for biometric beh vior of this specific network clock.
On the biometric options p ge, we suggest using minimum of 2 enrollments nd
10 progressive enrollments per employee. For even better results, use 10
enrollments on 2 fingers (5 times per finger, in different positions).
E ployee Training:
Re d the biometrics section of the Employee's Guide to TimeIPS (downlo d from
support.timeips.com). This guide shows how to properly position the finger nd
how to enroll in different positions for best results.
E ployee Enroll ent:
Enrollment will begin utom tic lly the first time n employee clocks in or out.
The norm l enrollment process requires th t n employee pl ce the s me finger or
thumb g inst the re der number of times to improve the reli bility of m tching.
Quick Enrollment:
Employees should present their finger or thumb in slightly DIFFERENT position
for e ch re d. This m kes future uthentic tions more reli ble.
Multi-Re d Enrollment:
Employees present their finger or thumb in the SAME position three times for e ch
of the positions bove. The best re d of e ch position is used.
Progressive Enrollment:
Addition l prints re utom tic lly dded e ch time n employee clocks
successfully. This llows the system to improve recognition over time, but slows
the clocking process by few seconds while ll prints re ev lu ted nd the best is
selected fter e ch clock.
