ways. You have decided for a time clock in the following variant:
Transponder (RFID)
Transponder (RFID) & Fingerprint
The buttons that you can see on the start display depend on the presets that
have been set for you as well as on the time clock variant. In most cases, the fol-
lowing buttons appear 2: Arrival, Departure, Other, Info and Break. The button
BioKey Cong is only available when using a ngerprint time clock.
The functions of these buttons are explained in more detail within the single

Assembly and installation
The mounting 1 for the wall is already aixed to the time clock. With the aid of
the installation points 2on the mounting, you can mount the time clock to the
wall. Then, connect the power cable 3to a socket. If you wish to establish an
internet connection via LAN, you must also connect the LAN cable to the time
clock. More details on a connection via LAN can be found in the following chap-
ter. Then, hang the time clock on the wall and x it on the lower part by using the
included screw 4.
Network settings
Your company internal network requires the following settings:
• As DNS, 8.8.8.8 must be accessible so that the connection with the account is
possible.
• The following PORTs must be enabled in the network:
• 80 (HTTP Yes)
• 443 (HTTPS or Secure)
• 8000
• In the network, a DHCP server usually must be used for the allocation of the IP
and the default gateway must be present.
• To store a xed IP address, please check page 38.
For the default settings in the BIOS please check the infor-
mation on page 38.

Connection to LAN/Wi-Fi/mobile radio
Depending on the chosen time clock variant, you have dierent possibilities
to connect your time clock to the internet and the network. The standard time
clock uses LAN only. If you have ordered a time clock with Wi-Fi connection or
mobile radio, you can also establish an internet connection via these options.
Connection to LAN
Please connect the LAN cable 1to the device and the device's power cable 2
to a socket.
Connection to mobile radio
In order to establish an internet connection via mobile radio, a SIM card must be
inserted. Turn your time clock around as it is shown in the picture on the right-
hand side. Then, insert the SIM card into the slim slot 3. Please ensure, that the
contact area of the card is on the bottom side. Connect the power cable 2to
a socket.
Further on, you must open the communication settings of your time clock. Open
the menu by touching the TimeTac logo for 3 seconds. Then, tap on System set-
tings > Communication > Interrupt communication > Interface. Choose the
option MOBILE (whether you choose "GSM or "GPRS" depends on your mobile
service provider). Tap then on Mobile parameters > Enter PIN and enter the PIN
of your mobile network.
You can only connect your time clock to a mobile radio if
you have ordered a time clock in the respective variant.

Time clock with RFID transponder
If you have ordered a time clock with RFID reader unit, timestamps can only
be registered per transponder. On the start display 1, you can view the buttons
Arrival, Departure, Other, Break and Info.
The transponder reader unit can be found in the lower part of the device 2.
Timestamps are immediately transferred to our server and can therefore be vie-
wed in the web browser as well as in the smartphone app. Within the web brow-
ser you can identify a timestamp, that has been registered via time clock, by the
time clock symbol that appears in the Timestamp List.
In the case of your time clock being oline, e.g. because of internal network
adjustments, timestamps are saved directly on the time clock. As soon as the
device is connected to the internet again, the data is transferred to the server.
If you use transponders by TimeTac, you can order further ones directly at Time-
Tac. Contact [e-mail].

Conguration of transponders
In order to enable your employees to track time via time clock, you must assign
them a personal transponder.
To read a transponder, select Departure on the display - the information "Scan
transponder" appears on the screen. Then, bring the unused transponder to the
reader unit. You receive the response "Data saved" 1.
Open your TimeTac account within the web browser to assign the newly stored
transponder to a user. Be aware of the fact that only a manager with Full Emp-
loyee Access can assign transponders. Click on Settings > User Settings > Time
Clock User Management in the le side bar.
Click on the refresh button 2in the top right corner. The previously stored trans-
ponder now appears with a unique transponder ID 3. Double click in the column
User of the row of the respective transponder ID. A dropdown menu 4opens.
Here, you can select the employee that the transponder shall be assigned to.
